Stranded on a mysterious island, it is up to you to restore peace to its villagers. Become a powerful warrior - growing your powers and abilities through over 50 quests across a distinct and visually stylized world. Discover and raise loyal pets that will fight by your side in this unique action RPG. Customize your appearance as you gain new armor and weapons from wooden sticks to elemental swords.

Tried to make a game that had elements on action RPG games like Zelda mixed with a pet system like Pokemon. Looking back at it now, I don't think I should have done an isometric view, but rather a more relaxed view that gave easier movement controls to the user. I kept some features like crafting, minigames, etc out on purpose in case there is demand for a sequel.

this game physically changed child me

my absolute favorite flash game as a kid. this is ingrained in my psyche as deeply as minecraft or halo 3

Honestly, this was an absolute chore to complete, though I forced it on myself. It takes way too long to level up pets to your level and so I had to just use them as distractions to accomplish my goals. I'm glad Castaway II was much more refined in every way, but as it stands this game can get really tiresome near the end.

This is one of the most fun flash games that I ever pleyed! I just wished that you didn't need those shards to cast spells, just the cooldown, but stills a amazing game that everybody should play!

I played this game on RockSolidArcade way back when... Thank you so much for reviving it on the Newgrounds Player! Memories of a simpler time return!

Player tip: provoke two monsters at once and attack faster: have them both engage you and alternate between attacking the two. Can they even get an attack in? That's up to your click accuracy.
