Coupled with a variety of tools, they are enabled to overcome challenges and enemies with ease.
WORLD BUILDING
Featuring an open world level, the Forest of Nimbleton contains many hidden surprises and intriguing locations to discover. Every area is meticulously crafted, some which include points of interest such as the towering active volcano, visible from any vantage point.
