What it is
Clash: Artifacts of Chaos is an action-adventure game from ACE Team, set in the strange land of Zenozoik. You play as Pseudo, a martial artist who chooses to protect the Boy, a small creature whose mysterious abilities have drawn the attention of Gemini, the Mistress of the Artifacts. The journey takes you through unusual landscapes and among the region’s inhabitants as you uncover paths and ancient secrets. Combat relies on fists, speed, and choices such as dodging, blocking, countering, and switching to first-person view for special techniques. You can learn different martial arts and change styles to suit the situation, then improve characteristics and attacks through victories. Before a fight, a dice game can let the winner set conditions for the encounter, including summoning an ally or limiting movement. The game is single-player and lists Windows on Steam; Xbox Series X and Series S are also listed.
