About This Game

Flames of Freedom: 1821 is a 3D action side scroller platformer set during the Greek War of Independence. Blending fast, brutal combat with precision platforming, the game challenges players to survive deadly runs where death is permanent but progress is not!

Each run sends you through war-torn environments, inspired by real history and myth: burned villages, Ottoman forts, abandoned monasteries, ruined harbors and dark, mystical caves. While levels are currently handcrafted, the core experience is built around replayability, mastery, and adaptation.

Defeated enemies and fallen heroes leave behind Flames, a meta-currency used between runs to unlock permanent upgrades. These include secondary weapons, powerful special abilities and Anathemas: passive effects that reshape each run. With limited slots per attempt, every choice matters.

The story unfolds across 5 chapters, reimagining the Greek Revolution as a symbolic struggle between divine freedom and oppressive darkness. History and myth intertwine, turning real events into a timeless allegory of sacrifice, resistance, and rebirth.

In Flames of Freedom: 1821, death is part of the journey. Learn from failure, grow stronger with each Flame collected, and push deeper into a revolution, where freedom is not given; it is earned through fire and blood.

CHAPTER 1:  The Burning Village

CHAPTER 2:  The Monastery of Shadows
