If you are looking for an exciting new title to add to your library of PC games, Helvetii is a fantastic choice. Developed by KwaKwa, this beautiful 2D action roguelite takes you on a journey into ancient Celtic mythology. You control fierce warriors fighting to cleanse their land from a corrupting rot, and playing this on your computer with a controller or keyboard supports a very responsive input, which is super important when you are pulling off fast air combos and parrying incoming attacks. It is honestly just a fun time, especially when you are exploring the gorgeous hand-drawn forests and testing your reflexes against tough mythical monsters.
Storyline
The storyline of this game is actually pretty deep and entertaining. You find yourself in Gaul during ancient times, where a Roman expansion has unleashed a dark curse across the lands of the Helvetii tribe. The storyline begins when a young chieftain named Divico makes a desperate pact with an ancient force, only to realize that the power he gained is slowly poisoning his people. There are no modern sci-fi weapons here; your main goal is to travel through cursed forests and ancient ruins to find the source of this evil. After that, it becomes a personal quest to break the curse and restore peace to your tribe before the rot destroys everything you love.
Gaming experience.
Jumping into the fast combat is where things get really exciting. You have to juggle enemies in the air, dodge deadly traps, and summon ancient Celtic gods to assist you in battle, which can lead to some crazy moments. Since the levels change dynamically every time you play, every run is a big risk if you do not plan your item builds properly. However, it is an exciting challenge that keeps you coming back to unlock new characters like a fierce druid or a sneaky fox spirit. When you finally beat a tough boss section that has been driving you crazy, the satisfaction is amazing. It really is one of those PC games that will keep you hooked for hours.
