Demons have come from the north. You are Yutai, an acolyte of the Holy Men. When monsters descend on your village and the blades of warriors are found useless against them, the responsibility falls on you to go to the Holy Mountain and defeat them using the only weapon they fear; poetry. Become a Battle Poet Mix and match lines of poetry strategically to defeat your enemies. Every line has a unique effect, and the poems you create with them are up to you. Overcome Ever-Changing Dangers Every attempt to reach the mountain's summit plays differently. The enemies you face, the poetry lines you choose from, and the characters you interact with will change every playthrough. Reclaim the Holy Mountain Cleanse the mountain from the Yokani, demons who have corrupted its holy places, encountering characters from the world of Idaris on your journey. Discover a Labour of Love Created entirely by a single person, Battle Poet has been hand-crafted with a love of mythology, poetry, and roguelike games.
