Call of the Land

Anito: Call of the Land is a hack and slash with some deep RPG aspects. A good game for samurai wannabes, the game satisfies as a basic action game, although doesn’t really work as an RPG.
Anito places you as a Laon, a warrior living in the Land ‘Maroka’ where fighting tribes threaten to destroy the land. With your family taken and demons running amok in the world, your task is obvious. The game’s levels are set up sort of missions, for example to kill all 3 masters or kill the minions. Generally, the missions do involve killing, and that’s where the game gets its hack and slash nature.

There is a good range of weapons available, although there are only a limited number of items you can carry, which gives the game some extra strategy. There are also many potions and powerups, obtained by smashing pots and killing enemies, which definitely contributes to the slight RPG feel of the game. Also, levelling up is important, as the enemies become very hard to kill as you progress through the game, which I will elaborate on later.
