Review
Story
On the forsaken remains that were once the proud planet called Astara, the
villagers of Rockhaven lead difficult but peaceful lives, until the day the
Shadowraith, Dark Yabu, and his minions sweep down from the sky. With
terrible ferocity and ruthless efficiency they descend upon the townsfolk,
enslaving them to work deep in the caves that surround their village.
The Dark Yabu kills Vargas, the grandfather of the young
Vexx, who manages to slip quietly aboard the enemy’s windship. There, locked
deep within Yabu’s sanctum, lie the last pair of Astani war talons. The
talons leap from their chest onto Vexx’s outstretched hands, bonding to his
arms and giving him special powers.
Vexx embarks upon a heroic quest to confront Dark Yabu high
atop the Landspire, save his people, and avenge the death of his
grandfather.
