Ancient Weapon Holly

About

Ancient Weapon Holly casts you as a vengeful entity with a taste for elaborate sabotage. The gameplay mixes turn based tactics with environmental manipulation, dig trenches, collapse terrain, and lure foes into deadly traps. Combat leans into brute force but the real satisfaction comes from outthinking enemies through terrain shifts and resource management. The story follows a millennia old weapon seeking retribution, but the narrative takes a backseat to the mechanical depth of its strategy systems. What makes it memorable is the emphasis on asymmetric warfare. Instead of brute strength, you wield the environment as both shield and sword. Early reviews praise its fresh approach to the genre though some note the learning curve steepens quickly. Available on PC, PS5, and Switch since March 2024. The single player campaign offers 15-20 hours for those patient enough to master its mechanics.
