Join Marisa and Kapi as they journey into the jungles of Amazonia! The Girl from Arkanya is a pixel art action RPG that draws inspiration from 2D Zelda classics such as Minish Cap and Four Swords Adventures. Our tale begins in Arkanya, a city at the edge of the world. In a realm of danger and mystery, Marisa the Treasure Hunter strives to build a reputation for herself and carry on her family's legacy. Along the way, a terrible turn of events forces Marisa to work alongside an unusual ally, a magical capybara known to the land as Ka'apiuara Yum Kaax. But you can call him Kapi! Now they embark on an epic journey to save their home! ...And make some money doing it.
- Journey Through 7 Unique Zones! Each of The Girl from Arkanya's overworld zones have been hand-crafted and are filled with people to meet, landmarks to discover, and most importantly, treasure to find!
- Delve into 6 Challenging Dungeons! Each dungeon in The Girl from Arkanya has a unique theme, and tells an important part of the story. Find out what riches and perils await within!
- Unlock Dozens of Collectables! Amazonia is home to many valuable artifacts, and each one tells a different piece of the land's history. Become a part of that history by collecting them all!
- Obtain Unique Items! Use 15 equippable tools to solve puzzles, traverse terrain, and defeat your foes. Each item offers a new playstyle and allows you to progress in ways you couldn't previously, and some can be upgraded into even stronger versions!
- Learn Ancient Magic! With each dungeon you complete, Marisa obtains a new spell which can be activated by performing sacred dances. These dances provide new powers to both Marisa and Kapi, granting each of them special abilities!
- Swap Between Two Playable Characters! Alternating between controlling Marisa and Kapi is crucial to overcoming many of the challenges that await you in Amazonia.
- Bring a Friend! The Girl from Arkanya features local co-op, allowing a second player to drop in and out of the adventure at any time.
- Now You're Thinking With Capybaras! Creative use of the character-swapping mechanic creates endless opportunities for you to optimize your gameplay, and prove that you are truly the best treasure hunter out there!

Absolutely suggested. Almost wish I had gotten a Steam key so I could also review it over there. I do agree that certain things need to be adjusted (sell all, a buy back option, something to show how many of an item that you own when going to buy some) but it has a good, solid feel otherwise!
Very cool quality art style!
A dynamic & fun delight so far ( 3 dances in ;-) )
