| Synopsis: | Anito is a Single-Player Isometric Adventure RPG game set in 16th century Asia, in the land of Maroka. Maroka is an island besieged both by internal conflict and armored invaders from a faraway land who are slowly turning Maroka into their monarch's colony. When Datu Maktan, leader of the Mangatiwala tribe and the land's most influential peacemaker, mysteriously disappears, it is up to his children Agila and Maya to find him and restore the delicate peace that their father has kept in balance, before conlicting forces tear the land apart. | Anak Bathala is a 2D top-down Multiplayer Online RPG set in the Ancient Philippine Islands, circa 1000AD (10th Century). The island of Ma-i (Mindoro) is the starting point of your journeys. In a time long before Islam or Christianity ever touched paradise, traders, nobles, warriors, warlocks, and demigods roam the archipelago. As a war between the Major Gods raged on, their human followers formed different clans that support each God. Many times, the Gods will create a human, or demigod, or demon to champion their cause and lead their clans. These creations are the Anak Bathala; God Spawns. They scour the islands seeking legendary treasures and powers rumored to be able to unite the warring clans. |
