The Tales of Hyperia: The Crimson Knight demo has been updated! This still serves as an alpha build for the game.

Please note that, while the gameplay and art is mostly finished, things are still subject to change between now and the final version of the game. This includes sprites, music, etc. While I did my best to eliminate bugs, spelling errors, etc., players may experience errors in the code or grammatical errors at this time. These types of errors do not reflect on the final quality of the product.

Feel free to reach out you find any bugs or errors. You can reach me at: hyperiatales@gmail.com

Above all, I hope you enjoy Tales of Hyperia: The Crimson Knight. Make sure to follow me on all the social medias (listed below) to keep up with current progress.

Story:

Hyperia is a peaceful kingdom within the nation of Iodia. These peaceful times are about to come to an abrupt end. The Crimson Knight has overthrown King Hypere and thrown the kingdom into disarray. The Crimson Knight has set his sites on ruling the kingdom with an iron fist.

Tales of Hyperia: The Crimson Knight follows the journey of four courageous brothers that embark on a quest to stop the Crimson Knight and return Hyperia to its rightful ruler. Isaac is the eldest of the brothers. He is a self-taught swordsman that emulates the hero of the kingdom, Ramrod. Ben is a magician that focuses on the black arts. He learns all of his spells through various books spread throughout the kingdom. Elliott is a goofball that loves to make people laugh. He also has a big heart and wants to help people at all costs. His specialty is healing white magic. Dorian is the youngest and wants to follow in the footsteps of Hyperia’s greatest martial arts master, Master Sha. He is typically a scaredy cat and believes that this martial art will help boost his confidence.

Can the boys work up the strength and courage to take on this new evil?

What's New in Version V2:
