Savior: The Last Line of Defense

Savior

You are the strongest and most skilled ninja of your town. Having been trained for years by your grandpa to be able to defend your home. You yearned to fight for your people... And now, you get your wish. The horde paints the horizon, and the horde lords' roars can be heard from miles away... There is no hope for your village to survive... But, just maybe you can evacuate the townsfolk.

You'll have to pull out every trick you know... perhaps even the forbidden ones...

The horde won't rest until every last person has been consumed... Their vigor and hunger will only grow the longer their assault lasts.

You are the last line of defense for your people... Will you be a Savior and SAVE your people and hold off the horde? Or will you DESTROY man and monster alike in order to save as many as you can..?

How To Play

• Civilians will keep flocking to you in the evacuation site in the center of the screen.
• Evacuate civilians by surrounding them in your Chi Trail and then press SPACE BAR to teleport them out of the town.
• Hold down  LEFT CLICK to prepare to unleash a blade dash that will cut down any monsters between you and the reticle, and then RELEASE LEFT CLICK to execute the dash.
• Hold down RIGHT CLICK to prepare to unleash a powerful FORBIDDEN technique that will cut down ANYTHING between you and the reticle, and then RELEASE RIGHT CLICK to execute the technique. Anything hit by the technique will have its blood and chi DRAINED, which will PERMANENTLY empower you. The blood of monsters has POOR compatibility and will only slightly empower you, however the blood of humans has PERFECT compatibility and is almost 10 TIMES as potent.
  
• Press LEFT SHIFT to damage all MONSTERS surrounded by your Chi Trail.
• Monsters grow in strength and number the longer their assault lasts, you'll have to keep up one way or another.
• The two icons in the bottom right represent the COOLDOWN of your forbidden technique (which is reduced by slaying monsters), and the PROGRESS towards your next empowerment.
