Get Mencia: A Never Was Tale for PC

Mencia: A Never Was Tale is a difficult 2D platform game set in the Late Middle Age. After an alien invasion destroys everything in the reign, Mencia—a girl who cares for animals and harvests crops—is its only survivor. Pinchur, the reign’s protective magic sword, chooses her by elimination to face the invasion, though she is guided by the sword rather than acting of her own will.

The journey

Guided by Pinchur, Mencia must cross four levels and reach the alien leader. The aliens and traps she encounters threaten to turn everything in their path into squares, and if Mencia is turned into one, she must start over. Pinchur can teleport Mencia to the sword, helping her make her way through each level.

Movement and combat

You jump, attack, throw the sword and teleport next to it. Combining these moves quickly is central to the challenge.
