Description

Bearslayer is a fast-paced one button platformer arcade game about Latvian epic tale hero Bearslayer (Lāčplēsis). To complete the levels of the game you will have to be quick, precise and think fast. No matter how fast you are, you will die A LOT. The game is set in ancient Latvia and tells the story of the mythical god-chosen hero "Bearslayer", who wants to bring light to the land of Latvia and free it from slavery, evil crusaders and other evil monsters from Latvian folklore.
