Kotaku Highlights The Relic: First Guardian as One of the Year’s Most Anticipated Action RPGs!
Following the recent release of our action-packed Brutals Trailer, the team at Kotaku published a fantastic feature on The Relic: First Guardian – and they had some amazing things to say about what awaits players in the world of Arsilthus!

Kotaku praised the game as “one of the most anticipated action RPGs of the year,” highlighting its high-stakes gameplay and unique world design:
“Giant creatures, perilous environments, and a combat system that demands precision are just some of the elements that make this game stand out among this year’s biggest releases.”
They also shone a spotlight on the atmospheric lore and boss design driving the experience:
“Another striking aspect is the design of these creatures, inspired by ancient tales and figures from Korean mythology.”
“The combination of exploration and intense combat is set to become one of the pillars of an adventure that aims to offer constant challenges without losing its narrative pace.”
Concluding their piece, Kotaku noted that The Relic: First Guardian continues to shape up as “one of the most ambitious titles in the genre,” adding that its mix of customisation, exploration, and mythological boss battles promises to make it a game that “will generate a lot of buzz in the coming months.”
