A handmade action/adventure game based on the rich folklore of the Scottish Borders.
You play as the titular protagonist, controlling Judero as he traverses the Scottish Borders region and encounters a variety of enemies and challenges. The gameplay focuses on fast-paced melee combat and exploration.
In combat, you can string together light and heavy attacks to create combo chains. You also have access to a dodge ability that allows you to quickly evade enemy strikes. Reviewers describe the combat as "snappy" and "fast-paced," though not overly complex.
A unique gameplay element is the ability to separate Judero's spirit from his physical body, allowing you to take control of certain enemy types and utilize their unique abilities. This mechanic is used not only in combat, but also to solve environmental puzzles by accessing areas Judero cannot reach on his own.
The game's boss fights are highlighted as particularly enjoyable, with each encounter featuring unique mechanics that challenge you to strategize and utilize Judero's full repertoire of abilities, including the possession mechanic. Reviewers praise these boss battles as "exciting and unique."
As you explore the game world, you can uncover various collectibles and optional storylines. The level design encourages thorough exploration, with many secrets and discoveries to be found. Progression, however, is relatively linear, with a focus on advancing the main narrative rather than extensive RPG-style character customization.
Multiple reviewers note that the combat and gameplay is not overly challenging, with a generous checkpoint system and relatively easy standard encounters. This accessibility allows players to focus more on the game's atmospheric and narrative elements without being overly hindered by gameplay difficulty.
