The Scythian Warrior
Many years ago, there were the Scythians, a group with many strong warriors as you can see in The Scythian Warrior. The story follows the fledgling Scythian people as they go through numerous periods of living off the land to more advanced periods where there is conflict between the people. The focus lands on one particular tribe attacked and decimated by invaders. You step into the role of Aryasp, a strong Scythian warrior who sets off on a quest to avenge his people by hunting down the invaders and anything else that stands in your way. Do it for Scythia!
About The Scythian Warrior
Revenge stories are classic structures even though they tend not to end happily because they're exciting to watch. This game puts you at the heart of a revenge story where all that matters is whether the thing standing before you is trying to kill you. All that you need to worry about is your health and keeping the targets at arm's length. The more enemies that appear, the more brutal that you can be, but you still need to use caution. You may be a strong fighter, but you're not invincible and revenge can't be carried out if you're dead… so don't die.

The goal is to make it through the various environments to find those responsible for attacking your tribe and then killing them. Your health is shown in the top left corner of the screen. If your health drops to zero, you'll be set back and will need to try again.
When you begin, you'll spawn in what looks like the start of a dungeon. You can explore at your leisure with the whole purpose being to keep moving forward. As you do, you'll encounter enemies that will attack you on sight. You can hit enemies with your weapon until they finally collapse. You'll also encounter blocks that can be moved around and climbed to reach new heights. You'll also come across locked doors which will require you to find keys nearby so that you can unlock them.
Tips and Tricks
Your biggest advantage is the area of your attack. You have a decent amount of reach and coverage which lets you hit multiple enemies at once and you can keep them at a bit of a distance. Avoid getting cornered or surrounded and you'll be fine.
