Vietnamese mythology game sparks debate on Steam.

Guardian is styled after classic Metroidvania games like Ori, Castlevania, and especially Hollow Knight, but the game still stands out for its beautiful hand-drawn graphics and authentically Vietnamese storyline.

On their journey to complete the main quest, players will explore legendary landmarks such as the Hundred-Bone Forest, Tan Vien Mountain, Da Trach Lagoon, and Co Loa Citadel.

Players will also encounter legendary deities such as Saint Giong, Son Tinh, and Lac Long Quan, who serve as both skill-challenging bosses and helpful NPCs. Additionally, players can receive side quests from supporting characters like Co Tam or Ong Dia.

The latest demo of Divine Guardian was released at the end of January 2024 and received much feedback from the domestic gaming community. While many expressed anticipation for the game's release and support for the efforts of Vietnamese game developers, the game also faced some criticism, with some arguing that the content was inappropriate and needed revision – similar to the situation many games based on Vietnamese culture and history have encountered in the past.

The method of defeating the Saint Giong Boss in the game is causing debate.

Currently, the developers of Guardian are offering a free demo on Steam, allowing players to access and objectively evaluate the product before deciding to purchase. The game is currently attracting attention within the Vietnamese gaming community.
