Ku: Shroud Of The Morrigan bitSmith Games 2013

This is an action adventure game in which Ireland's ancient past and economic present collide. You play as young Kú, who must venture out in to a broken and strange world for the first time. You will have to battle monsters, solve puzzles and retrieve an ancient treasure from the goddess Morrigan. Forged from an ancient tale of Celtic mythology – a uniquely different recounting of the massive legendary epic, the Táin. This future Ireland devastated by technomagical war and economic collapse, humanity clings on by using the remnants of technology that survive. When their ancient spring of life begins to fail, an unwanted orphan child must leave the safety of his villages’ mountaintop refuge. With only an ancient sword and a mysterious metal glove, he ventures into lands unexplored and twisted by strange ancient powers. It's Celtic-punk – a fusion of Celtic and steampunk aesthetics. A rich and intriguing world is brought to life by beautiful hand-drawn sketches, lovingly painted and animated in high resolution. It's a timeless narrative – a reimagining of the classic Irish epic, The Táin, which tells the story of Ireland’s greatest warrior-hero Cú Chulainn. The lush world is populated with strange creatures and vicious enemies, born in the cauldron of war. There's fast-paced combat and epic boss encounters. Solve puzzles by repairing and interacting with ancient mechanisms with the aid of your trusty ‘Árgatlam’ gravity glove. A critically acclaimed original soundtrack – Music from Irelands premier independent electronic artists. Inspired by classic adventure games such as Zelda and Chrono Trigger. Play in Irish – a full Irish translation of the game.
