Bowynn Gods: Issen

The giant Issen with farmers and animals working the land

Issen (Eye-sen)  Ancient giant god of the old age created by Brea and her siblings. Issen was the older god who ruled over the warmth of summer. One of the older gods, he traveled the world, with his family. His home was in the south and he would appear in the summer as a mammoth of golden fur, bringing with him the summer weather.

      Even though Issen’s attributes were diminished but the coming of the Akua, He is still a most respected god. He is said to now work with the goddess Tarna, the summer goddess, following before her in mammoth form, clearing a path for the goddess to travel. Bowynn folk will often lay blame on Issen if the summer becomes too hot. Issen’s home is the summer-lands of the south. There he has is own lodge that he built himself. Later the lodge was given to Tarna and the god Saphon. It is said that the lodge is massive in size, made of brown wood and logs, sitting on a green hill, overlooking the forested lands. Despite his diminished attributes, Issen is still widely prayed too, in hopes that the summer season is not harsh, and he will ward off forest fires.

      In his immortal form, Issen is seen as an older god, fully bearded and long hair flowing down his back. His hair itself is brownish tainted with white. Issenn is known to always be wearing a heavy brown hide on his back and his clothing is of brown and golden leathers. In his hands are seen a staff and horn. It is with this horn that he blows on, issuing in the summer season. When not in this form, he is a magnificent golden mammoth. Sacred gifts to Issen are incense and votive mammoth images. Like all of the old giants, his totem was the mammoth.

ill always giggle at the confirmation the trimen are very much happy to hit on all genders

and also the confirmation that the thunder legion are canonically attractive, but we didnt need confirmation on that anyway

[shipcestuous]

I thought you'd be interested in Tsukino Omame, a manga author with two first cousins getting together one shots and one 6 chapters uncle x niece story

Thanks for the author rec!!! This appears to be the title of the Uncle/Niece one: Hogosha Shikakku. Issen wo Koeta Yoru, for those interested.

I just think taking any instance of "evil" in Puyo at face value is so ridiculous at this point when most of the characters labelled at that aren't actually evil

Get Ready for a Hardcore Challenge with Ninja Issen

Ninja Issen Hardcore Mode comes to the action platformer game on Linux via Proton with Windows PC. Thanks to the deeply creative minds behind developer ASTEROID-J. Available now on Steam and still holding a steady 96% Positive views. Let's talk about developer ASTEROID-J, who just announced a major update for Ninja Issen with Hardcore Mode. This is also something worth sharing with the community. First off, let's dive into the new Hardcore mode for Ninja Issen. This is huge for those of us who like a solid challenge. After you play through once, you unlock this mode. It's all about skill and speed. There are no in-game events or dialogues to slow you down, which is perfect for Linux players who want to focus on perfecting their runs. Here's the catch – the enemies hit harder, and if you die once, that's it. In Hardcore mode, you start with just one life and a timer, and you've got to make it from Chapter 1 to Ninja Issen Chapter 9. Your score depends on how quickly you clear the levels, your combo count, and how many lives you have left. For those aiming for higher scores, you can even choose where to start within the chapters. This means you can push the pace even more. But remember, the pause menu's retry function is disabled. It's all about nailing that perfect run in one go.

Ninja Issen Official Launch Trailer

Besides the Hardcore mode, Ninja Issen is also improving its tutorials. This is great for new players or anyone looking to brush up on their skills. The start of each chapter will now have control tutorials, and you'll get handy tips every time you face defeat. Plus, there are some bug fixes and quality of life upgrades, which are always welcome. Now, let's talk about the title itself. The Ninja Issen stands out as a hyper ninja action platformer that tests you with Hardcore mode. You're Kiba, a ninja on the run, and your job is to take out waves of enemies and tough bosses using your ninja skills. The gameplay is fast, precise, and very satisfying, even on Proton. The title has a cyberpunk future city vibe with retro graphics, which adds to its charm. Is it good? Even before the Hardcore mode update, Ninja Issen was named the “Best Indie Game” at the 2022 Made with Unity Korea awards. It's been getting a lot of attention at game conventions around the world, and even before its release. It was also second on the list of Popular Upcoming title and first in action platformer titles on Steam.

Gematsu Source

Harkening back to the age of Strider and Shinobi, Ninja Issen is a side-scrolling hyper ninja action game set in a futuristic, cyberpunk city, topped off with a retro graphics filter and one-versus-many combat. Embark on a journey of revenge, time travel, and old school gameplay for the modern age with Kiba, a skilled ninja falsely accused of a murder he did not commit.

A Chronicle of Revenge

Kiba, the top ninja of his clan, is falsely accused of murdering the clan leader. Outnumbered by his pursuers, he flees to find himself in a city in the future, far removed from the world he knows. But the fight to flee left him on death’s door… Fortunately, Kiba is saved by an engineer named Hanzo through a series of modifications and reinforcements that make him even stronger. It is here you will join him on his quest to clear his name and discover a way back to his own time.

The Hero and Cast

Kiba, the hero of this story, is a skilled ninja seeking justice and redemption after being falsely accused of killing his clan leader. For reasons unknown, he has been transported to a city in the future, where he sets off on a journey of revenge and to find a way back to his own time. Hanzo, a famous engineer and owner of Hanzo’s Hot Sushi, finds Kiba after he was wounded in combat, and saves his life through a series of modifications after bringing him back to his workshop. Asran is the princess of Kiba’s clan and daughter of its leader. Like Kiba, she was caught in a time rip and finds herself in an unknown world. Finally, Suikyu is Kiba’s arch enemy and second-in-command of his clan. He is the one who falsely accuses Kiba of killing the clan leader, and leads the pursuit against him.

Intense Speed and Exhilarating Action

Utilize Kiba’s arsenal of attacks, skills, and nimble ninja movements to dominate the battlefield. And take advantage of every skill possible as you face off against challenging bosses that test Kiba’s abilities with their overwhelming strength and unique attack patterns.

Create a Combat Style All Your Own

Survive in one-versus-many battles by utilizing everything at your disposal against a variety of enemies, creating your own combat style as you fight. Weapons available to Kiba include the close-ranged, high-attack Katana, and the long-ranged, bullet-deflecting Shuriken. Skills include Issen, which allows Kiba to slice through any obstacle in an instant; Teleport, which allows you to throw your Katana and teleport where it lands to leap across buildings and avoid traps; Fire Circle, which creates a ball of fire that spins and destroys everything in its path; and Phantom, which turns Kiba into a shadow and grants him limited invincibility.

Strike the Boss' Weak Point

Discover and exploit bosses’ weak points while navigating their unique attack patterns. Once their HP is decreased to a certain point, they’ll enter a new phase of combat and fire off even stronger attacks. Dodge their attacks patterns, penetrate their defenses, and discover their weak points to strike back. Some bosses even have destructible parts that impact their strategies!
