About the story
Eons ago in a place far above, there was a land called Anuchard, a vast and prosperous island protected by five Ancient Guardians. One day, the Guardians turned their back on the Anuchardians. The utopian civilization shattered and fell from the heavens, leaving only a tiny island and a mysterious Dungeon behind. Here, a distorted abyss of time and space awaits alongside the slumbering Guardians. Step into the role of the mystical Bellweilder in a retro-inspired 2D action RPG. Chosen after countless generations, the Bellweilder must enter the Dungeon and work to restore Anuchard to its former glory. Explore and encounter fierce monsters, mind-bending puzzles, and the frozen souls of villagers who entered before you.

Critic Reviews
NintendoWorldReport
By Jordan RudekEven though it doesn't bring much to the table in terms of innovation or surprise, Anuchard remains a solid and exceedingly colorful adventure that offers a fun, if fleeting, experience. The chapter-based structure lends itself well to the light and optional farm-building elements and the main narrative of bringing life back to the world and its inhabitants. If you're looking for a fairly charming action RPG that's more familiar than fresh, Anuchard might be just what the doctor ordered.
WayTooManyGames
By Aaron PriceAnuchard is fast-paced and is pretty satisfying. This is definitely a game for anyone who enjoys dungeon crawling indie games like Boyfriend Dungeon or even Hades . Honestly though, just about anyone could get into it pretty easily.

By AlgernonAnuchard does not offer a most brilliant adventure and is even rather anecdotal.
Checkpoint Gaming
By Alex BeatyIf you’re after a bell-bashing good time with all the style, boss battles, and even cooking, then this game is going to sing the tune you’ll want to hear. Anuchard is a hearty indie game with much to give to those who are looking for an appropriate mix of dungeon donging and puzzle-solving chaos. It might not be a genre cornerstone with some notable shortfalls, but it will still keep you ring-a-ding-dinging as you solve puzzles and traverse its dungeons.
The Escapist
By John FrisciaUltimately, Anuchard is an intensely monotonous game that really only succeeds in its art design and sound. Nearly every dungeon feels the same, and every battle outside of boss fights feels like a mindless waste of time. The story is more ambitious, but it never culminates in something satisfying across its dozen hours of gameplay. This is certainly not a game that lives up to the pedigree of the Soul Blazer trilogy. But perhaps stellarNull can dust itself off and deliver something more impactful the next time around.
