Microsoft Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree - Xbox Series X

In a world overturned by evil forces, people hide away behind walls of brick and palisades of ignorance, constructed by their leaders. Joy and delight are coveted jewels, out of reach of the masses. This is not the world you were promised. Travel by night and salvage your destiny. Journey through a world in decline, slowly falling prey to the damaging effects of Entropy. Challenge deadly bosses, meet new allies, enemies, and every shade in-between, and make harsh moral choices. There are many paths worth taking. Choose yours. Game Features: • Challenging side-scrolling Soulslike: Enjoy a combination of 2.5D side-scrolling levels and skill-driven combat that deals punishment and reward in equal measure. From the leering Caretaker to the Vampires of Braer Island, face ruthless foes and horrifying bosses that will make or break you. • Fall into a dark fantasy world: Get lost in a rich and atmospheric world brought to life by painterly art direction and the epic twisted music of Christos Antoniou. Discover every detail through expansive exploration, tearing down walls and scaling buildings with your grappling hook. • A branching tale of lost humanity: Acquire the legendary Witch Lantern and enter the otherworldly plane of Entropy through tears in the fabric of reality. Make devastating choices in a sinister and immersive story by Brian Mitsoda, writer of Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines. • Slay your way: From Vanguard to Heretic, master one of multiple unique classes and customize your skills and powers. Find Artisans to join your Caravan and unlock new upgrades, and craft powerful weapons, armor and trinkets. Restart stronger and wiser with new difficulty levels in New Game Plus.
