I’ve been keeping an eye on Anuchard for a while. Carrying inspiration from the days of the original PlayStation, Anuchard is an Action RPG with the goal of restoring a civilization. It reminds me to some degree of mechanics from games such as Dark Cloud and Suikoden. Anuchard, from developer stellarNULL and publisher Freedom Games, is now available on PC, Switch, and Xbox Consoles.

Here is what the press release has to say about Anuchard. “One by one, beloved community members of the quiet Orchard village are stripped away by a mysterious phenomenon. Desperate for aid, the remaining people call to their ancestors to fulfill the legendary prophecy of a savior known as the Bellwielder. Rise as the rumored hero and set off on a noble mission to piece together a crumbling society.

Wield the ancient and powerful Audros Bell venturing deep into the treacherous dungeons beneath the town. Unhindered by the snarls echoing within the walls, solve complex puzzles throughout the derelict caves. Leap into action, knocking back fiendish mobs into the environment and each other. Hurl elemental abilities to crush enemies, weaken beastly bosses, and release the crystallized souls of lost townsfolk and forgotten heroes.

Rejoice in the sound of tears and applause as Orchard’s chefs, farmers, herbalists, and others are reunited with their friends and families. Rebuild the village one member at a time and collect pieces of ancient technology, called Spires, to enhance combat skills. Prepare satiating recipes to upgrade stats and build relationships throughout town to uncover the truth behind Orchard’s fall from grace from the Anuchardian continent at large.”

Rico Lemba, designer at stellarNULL also commented on the release, stating: “Anuchard’s classic art style should take anyone back to the good old days of waking up on a Saturday morning to forge through PSX-era dungeons. I wanted to create a project combining dynamic combat interactions with a lasting and visible impact on the narrative!”

Anuchard also seems to give a bit of Alundra vibes, if you’ve ever played those action RPGs based around dreams. I’m excited to see more of Anuchard, so you may see more content for Anuchard in the future on Phenixx Gaming.
