8 Eyes vs Apex Legends

Set in a distant future following a devastating nuclear war, the world is once again in peril after the Great King's eight rebellious Dukes seize the powerful 8 Eyes and banish him to the wastelands. Players take on the role of Orin the Falconer, the bravest of the King's Guardsmen, tasked with retrieving the stolen jewels to prevent global warfare. Teaming up with his fighting falcon, Cutrus, Orin must penetrate each of the eight Dukes' dangerous castles. Players will battle hostile soldiers and bizarre nuclear mutants, defeat monstrous bosses, and ultimately return the 8 Eyes to the Altar of Peace to restore order to humanity.
