Top Hat Studios and Round 2 Games announced today that the 2.5D action-platformer Guardian of Lore, is now available on PS4 and PS5 for $13.99/€13.99/£12.59. Heavily inspired by native Latin-American folk tales and myths, more specifically cultures like the Incas and Aztecs, in Guardian of Lore you play as prince Sayri, Guardian of a Mystical Library where the lost knowledge of conquered civilizations is guarded. Guardian of Lore is also available already on Nintendo Switch.
You are the descendant of a powerful yet cruel king who conquered the land and condemned their original cultures to oblivion. But after being anointed the new Guardian of the Library where that lost knowledge is kept, now it is time for you to amend your ancestors' mistakes and protect the ancient tales from the wicked magic that threatens to erase them forever. How much of each story will you be able to save and preserve for future generations?
