Dark Throne

Dark Throne is a 2D side-scrolling game in which you play as a knight seeking to lift the curse on Trimont. A mad king has plunged the kingdom into eternal night and enslaved its creatures. You are the only hope of repairing the damage, and can free people who teach you new skills along the way.

Skills and teachers

The game has an RPG system with nine skills to develop as you face opponents. Freeing a detained teacher unlocks another part of the system. The archer, spy and sorceress each teach a different set of skills:

• Archer: damage, vitality and energy.
• Spy: potion capacity, lifting rolls and luck.
• Sorceress: fire ball, magic shield and mixture.

Enemies and movement

You encounter many types of enemies, including five bosses with different fighting styles. Key combinations let your character run faster or jump farther.
