Ato is an Atmospheric Sword Dueling Game set in the Era of Feudal Japan. It tells a visually driven story about a father who has given up his past ways in order to live a life of peace with his wife and child. However this peace is soon disturbed as his child is taken from him, leaving him with the goal to get his child back.In Ato, no longer are there hundreds of weak enemies to slaughter, instead every combat encounter is an intense duel to the death. Perform risky parry maneuvers, bounce of your opponent, evade their attacks and unlock new abilities to further expand your arsenal of options against your adversaries.Every fight has their own personality and fighting style. Challenge, observe and overcome each opponent you face as you strive to retrieve your child from the clan you once served.Outside of the duels, you will explore colorful and atmospheric environments. Obtain new abilities to solve environmental puzzles.

I can't really guarantee how this game will be received. But I can say that it certainly is playable from start to finish.

Enjoy and let me know what you think.

F.A.Q.

The game is running slowly

Try going to settings>Graphics>Grass Performance and setting it to minimal or none.
Otherwise, this game is best played on a PC with a good processor and graphics card.

Is there controller support/rebinding?

Yes, however if you own a controller that does not work, it's possible that you'll have to use a third party program to get it to work.

What are the difficulty differences?

Assist - damage you take is drastically reduced, intended for people who barely play games and just want to enjoy the art.
Accessible - damage is partially reduced, you sort of play games. I would describe this as around metroid game difficulty.
Experienced - expect to die several/alot times per boss, you are familiar with hardcore games like Dark souls, Sekiro, Hollow Knight etc.

Can I record/stream this game?

Yes feel free! And let me know so I can watch the stream/video/archive.

What languages are supported?

The localization is only for the menus, currently there is English, Japanese, German, Russian and Norwegian.

If you want to freely help contribute to a translation (you will be added to the credits), you can email me regarding that.

How can I stay tuned?
