Paladin: The Game

About

Paladin: The Game casts you as Auron in a side-scrolling action romp. Hack through hordes with melee strikes and magic while navigating a story driven by platforming and puzzle solving. The controls emphasize quick timing and positioning making each encounter feel reactive. Short levels keep the pacing brisk with a mix of combat and light exploration. Released in 2007 this browser based title offers a self contained adventure that fits into short sessions. While not a critical darling its straightforward approach to combat and exploration earned a dedicated following among fans of classic side scrollers. The game's simple art style and direct mechanics make it easy to pick up though its dated presentation might not appeal to all.
