Goken

GOKEN is an open-world action RPG set 5,000 years after a swordsman and the god Ozone fought. You play near the small village of Cardina, where the story of the swordsman known as the “Wielder of the Five Swords” begins.

The swordsman’s story

Long ago, when gods lived among people, a swordsman received five swords forged by a god and used them to bring peace and order to the world. During a festival honoring the gods, the blades turned against them for reasons unknown. Furious, Ozone used his powers to seal the swordsman at the top of a mountain now called Swords Peak.

Explore and fight

The game uses a quarter-view perspective, with seamless transitions between map areas, event scenes and combat. Its real-time battle system uses two primary attack buttons, each of which can be assigned a different weapon to create combos. Monsters, bosses and stage gimmicks can sometimes call for a specific weapon, giving you a reason to plan your approach.

Customize your character

As you level up, you receive points to spend on tattoos that power up the protagonist. You can raise maximum HP and stamina or learn new and special moves, among other options, and shape the character to fit your play style.
