**Azlador** is an in-development gurklike for PC and mobile by Sammoth Studios.
It is built around a larger open world than the Gurk games, with recruitable
NPCs and branching quests.

Two demos have been released so far.

## Features

- **Multiple starting locations** and dozens of maps
- **Hundreds of quests**, optional as well as required, some with multiple
  outcomes
- **200+ enemies**
- **8 boss fights**
- **Parties of five**, recruited from dozens of NPCs
- **Branching skill trees** for each character class
- **8 equipment slots**, and hundreds of items
- **Custom 16-colour palette**, based on the NES
- **Landscape UI** on the PC version, as an alternative to the portrait one

## Concessions

Azlador uses some transition tiles and multi-tile objects and characters that you wouldn't see in Gurk.
