Ravenswatch - Kintaro

Description

Kintarō, the legendary Golden Boy of Japanese folklore, joins the ranks of the Ravenswatch alongside his faithful companion, Kuma, a bear as powerful as he is imposing.

Raised by Yama-Uba, an ogress who lives deep in the mountains, Kintarō grew up in harmony with nature. He possesses superhuman strength and wrestles wild animals as an equal. Courageous and innocent, he knows neither pain nor corruption. To him, anything can be fixed. That’s why, when Yama-Uba entrusts him with a mysterious yamabuki flower and sends him to deliver a message to her sister, Baba Yaga, Kintarō embarks on this adventure without hesitation.

His journey takes him to the desolate lands of Reverie, where he discovers a world ravaged by the Nightmare and meets the heroes of the Ravenswatch, all scarred by their wounds and curses. Kintarō, however, is untouched by any affliction. Alongside Kuma, he is determined to defend this strange world and deliver his message.

One Hero, Two Fighters

Kintarō offers a completely unique way to play. His Trait lets you switch between two combat styles: riding Kuma, or fighting on foot alongside him while controlling both characters simultaneously.

• Fight from the Bear’s Back: guide Kuma across the battlefield and unleash his powerful claw attacks. Charge through enemies or unleash a mighty battle cry to block their attacks.
  
• Leap into the Fray: Kintarō and Kuma fight together. Kintarō wields his gigantic axe while Kuma automatically attacks nearby enemies. You can also directly control the bear’s movements to position him strategically or keep him out of harm’s way.

Kintarō and Kuma share the same health bar, but they take damage differently. When Kuma is hit, the damage is transferred to Kintarō as Internal Damage. Keep an eye on their positions and climb back onto your faithful companion to gradually recover from these wounds.

The Kintarō DLC includes:

• Kintarō, a new playable hero with his own abilities, Talents, and two Ultimates.
  
• 7 exclusive outfits to customize Kintarō and his faithful companion.
  
• A narrated story told through 7 Memories that follow Kintarō and Kuma’s journey across Reverie.
