Overview
Xenia is an indie Metroidvania developed and published by Dimitrios Floros and Loresoft, respectively. Set against the backdrop of Ancient Greece, players step into the role of Ardas, a humble blacksmith thrust into an extraordinary quest. The narrative centers on the plight of Queen Xenia, a historical figure from the 12th century BC, who has been abducted by the malevolent wizard Skotos.
