Helvetii

Helvetii is a character-action game set in ancient Swiss Gaul, around 100 BC, when Gaul lies beyond Roman control. After young Helvetii war chief Divico defeats a Roman legion with the help of an ancient boon, the pact behind his victory becomes a curse: a spreading rot corrupts the land and his mind and heart. Monsters and cultists emerge, while a shadowy figure exploits the chaos.

With the reclusive druid Nammeios and the curious half-beast Renart, Divico sets out to stop the rot and recover what he has lost. He fights with martial skill and powers granted by the old gods.

Three characters

You can play as Divico, Nammeios or Renart: a disgruntled war chief, a wise druid or a snarky fox. Each has a distinct playstyle and special attacks. Items and summons provide more combat options, but each character's core moveset remains complete even without power-ups.

Stylish combat

Combat draws on a wide range of abilities and situations. You can master each character's acrobatic combos, use the terrain to your advantage and juggle opponents to earn higher ranks and rewards.

Gifts of the gods

Lost treasures, ancient burial mounds, curious owl shopkeepers and altars containing the essence of powerful gods are scattered across the land. You can obtain items and harness powerful summons to expand your options in battle.

The world of Gaul

The game draws on the ancient Celtic world of the Gauls and legends from Swiss and Germanic folklore. You travel through untamed forests, villages overtaken by cultists, snowy peaks and underground tunnels. Detailed 2D environments and a close-in camera keep combat near, accompanied by a soundtrack composed by Dale North and sung by Emi Evans.
