About the game

A story-driven retro JRPG where you build a party, explore a fantasy world, fight in classic turn-based battles, complete side quests, craft equipment, and uncover the legacy of the Primal Heir in a handcrafted pixel-art adventure.

Original Steam description

Primal Heir: The Mortal Realm is a story-driven, nostalgic 2D JRPG built in the spirit of classic 16-bit console adventures.

When the celestial Heart of Equilibrium shattered, its fragments rained upon the Mortal Realm, altering the fates of two chosen heirs.

Follow Kain, a warrior bound to shadow, and Eldora, a maiden tied to light, as their paths cross in a fracturing world. Explore vibrant towns, delve into dangerous dungeons, battle strange creatures, and uncover secrets hidden throughout the land.

The Mortal Realm is the first installment in the larger Primal Heir story, concluding at Haven Port. The journey will continue in future chapters.
