Overview
Description

Step into the role of Vexx, a warrior seeking vengeance for his grandfather's murder and his people's enslavement. Armed with razor‑sharp war talons, you traverse volcanic islands, desert temples, frozen citadels, and giants' castles. Face the evil Dark Yabu, Shadowraith, and their minions as night falls, making enemies more aggressive and environments more hostile. Master combat and climbing to restore peace to the villagers of Rockhaven.

The world's top biogenetic scientist is kidnapped and forced to create a legion of mutant warriors. Only his son and the secret Project Wolfchild can stop the looming apocalypse. Navigate ten freaky levels packed with mind‑twisting puzzles, maze‑like corridors, and relentless combat against schizoid mutants, all set to CD‑quality graphics and a rocking soundtrack.
