A third-person soulslike action RPG, in which we take the role of a warrior rabbit from a medieval manuscript. The protagonist of Johan not only wields melee weapons and is highly mobile, but also summons other creatures to aid him. They include a snail, which we can ride like a mount.
A characteristic feature of medieval manuscripts were the rich decorations depicting plant and animal motifs. Among the latter, creatures equipped with anthropomorphic features and, for example, armed with melee weapons stood out. They served as a source of inspiration for the independent Vercors Studio, which is behind the action RPG soulslike game titled Johan.
In Johan the action is viewed from a third-person perspective (TPP). Despite the unusual main character, who is a rabbit, the gameplay largely follows the genre's scheme. As we explore locations, we primarily engage in fights with opponents.
We take part in dynamic duels with knights, soldiers and other enemies. During these encounters, we must constantly be on the move, skillfully parrying blows and delivering quick attacks. The key to success is breaking the enemy's stance, which temporarily renders them defenseless, allowing us to deliver a fatal blow.
All of this is facilitated by the fact that as a rabbit, our protagonist is very mobile, and performing high jumps or leaping onto adversaries is not a significant problem for him. He also demonstrates his abilities in platforming sections, where he uses a grappling hook.
Of course, our battle rabbit is not defenseless either. The bunny can make excellent use of melee weapons (especially swords). Additionally, Johan can harness the power of illuminated manuscripts to summon strange creatures, each equipped with unique abilities and strengths. An example is a battle snail, on which Johan charges at enemies like a knight on a steed, wielding a long lance.
Johan takes us to a world inspired by the Middle Ages. The main character of the game is the titular rabbit, who, after his land was ravaged by an army of hostile knights, decided to take matters into his own hands and deal with the enemies once and for all.
