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.
