About the Game


Mysteriously transported from New York City, Frey Holland finds herself trapped in the breathtaking land of Athia. A magical, sentient bracelet is inexplicably wrapped around her arm, and Frey discovers the ability to cast powerful spells and use magic to traverse the sprawling landscapes of Athia. Frey nicknames her new golden companion “Cuff” and sets off to find a way home.

Frey soon learns this beautiful land once flourished under the reign of benevolent matriarchs, called Tantas, until a devastating blight relentlessly corrupted everything it touched. The Break  transformed animals into beasts, men into monsters, and rich landscapes into four dangerous realms. At the center of their shattered domains, the Tantas now rule as maddened and evil sorceresses.

Unaffected by the Break and desperate for answers, Frey reluctantly agrees to help the last remaining citizens of Athia who see her as their only hope. Frey’s journey through this strange and treacherous land will take her deep into the heart of corruption where she must battle monstrous  creatures, confront the powerful Tantas, and uncover secrets that awaken something much more from within.

I went into Forspoken expecting the worst because of all the hate it’s gotten… but after putting in a seriously long playtime, I can confidently say it’s way better than people give it credit for. First off, the

Dont listen to the haters. Under the weak voice acting is a solid game that honors games like Infamous with an amazing magic system and beautify transversal. This game is worth the commitment.

The 8-Damage Review: Why Forspoken is a $20 Skill-Based Masterpiece ​1. Skip the Prologue Noise Ignore the New York storyline. It’s a slow-burn, scripted mess. All you need to know is Frey is angry, she lost everything

Played through the entire base game which was... okay I guess, but not particularly original. There is a TON of exposition that's just unskipable slow walking while an NPC talks at you. I then tired to play the DLC, the

This game unfortunately received a lot of backlash, and most of it came from people who bought it, left a bad review, and then refunded it. You can literally filter out reviews from people who played less than Steam’s

This game is unique simply because not many game developer try to pull off something at this level of creation. However this game loses out on a wider audience simply because the story is so atrociously bad. You will
