Who are the Keepers?

The Keepers are Riventale's four elemental bosses: the Frost Wraith (Water), the Magma Colossus (Fire), the Thorn Guardian (Earth) and the Tempest (Wind). Each one is chained in its own temple and rises again after it falls.

What are the difficulty levels?

There are three paths. Easy (the Wanderer): no hunger and monsters hit softly. Medium (the Adventurer): a hunger bar, so you eat to heal and sprint. Hard (the Champion): starving can kill, and there are more, tougher monsters.

No. There are no ads, no purchases and no sign-up. You open the page and play.

Is Riventale suitable for children?
