Colosseum Mode This feature is specifically for those who have reclaimed all five of their swords and either are struggling to gather materials, or simply hungry for more...!
In the new Colosseum Mode, players will fight to their death facing endless waves of enemies.
Each wave is recorded and players will earn "Colosseum Points" to trade with materials.
Foes will get stronger as waves progress and there will be no limits to their powers...!
Additional Side Quests More Side-quests will be added, mostly for new players.
**WARNING**
After this update, the blacksmith will be unaccessible until a side-quest at "Goodshores" is complete.
Bug Fixes
-Fixed some compatibility issues between certain controller models and operating systems.
-Fixed input methods across various UI screens.
-Stuttering issues caused by certain scripts have been fixed (this fix should greatly improve performance but we are aware of other issues that may be causing the stutter. It's still a work-in-progress but a fix nonetheless...!)
-Other various bugs to improve performance.
We also posted a new video regarding the update on the store page so make sure to check it out!
Let us know what you think about the update and enjoy GOKEN!

GIANTY Inc. has been to CEDEC Japan
GIANTY Inc. was just at CEDEC Japan on August 30th.
CEDEC, short for Computer Entertainment Developers Conference, is basically a conference where a bunch of video game developers gather to share their views and means on approaching the industry.
For more information on CEDEC, please take a look at the link below.
(below is an image of two of the developers of GOKEN before their turn on stage!)
(neither of which, are Kaimer.)
During the conference, GOKEN was mentioned in GIANTY Inc.'s presentation as a culmination of its experience in the industry and that with good support, we here at GIANTY Inc. will try to produce more quality games through Steam.
GOKEN, released on Steam Store so far, is our flagship into the new platform.
Hope you guys enjoy GOKEN!!!

Update ver 1.2.0 Details - part 2
GOKEN now supports Steam Cloud!
With this new additional feature, GOKEN can now be played everywhere right where you left off! Your data would be synced and stored on Steam Cloud.
Here are the instructions to enable Steam Cloud:
1. Right click on "GOKEN" in your Steam LIBRARY. Then choose "Properties"
2. In the "UPDATES" Tab, make sure you ticked the checkbox that says "Enable Steam Cloud synchronization for GOKEN". Then Close
Remember, that currently we are experiencing trouble when transferring data via Steam Cloud to and from Steam OS to a different operating system. We are working on this bug as well as many others but in the meantime, make double sure what OS you are transferring save data to and from.
(Steam OS to Steam OS, and any combination of OS that doesn’t involve Steam OS can transfer saves without any problems)
Update ver 1.2.0 Details - Part 1
4 New chapters to the tale added!
1. Frappelands - Ice Cave of Tenacity
After his defeat in the Kinari Caves, Norg was now wondering the world seeking power lead by “a voice.”
His journey comes to a halt as he reaches the cold of the Frappelands.
What could have Norg found there?
What new powers may he possess?
Only one way to find out.
2. Burning Lands - Fire Pit of Rage
Do you remember the Ruler of the Colosseum?
Do you remember his fall?
What if he too sought the power of the ancients?
Sometimes we only get answers the hard way.
3. Great Desert Byuu - Dune of Maw
Sure you remember fighting one of the Cyclops.
No one is sure what this secret assembly means.
They too must be lured in by the ancient powers, to a dune in the middle of the great desert.
What more can the ancient powers do? There’s only one way to find out!
4. The Long Path - Temple of Chaos
At world’s end, where the old tree of Garla wither’s, a band of villains gather to defeat their sworn enemy.
The ancient powers, channeled through the temple takes an unexpected turn and creates something unimaginable and powerful beyond comprehension.
Not even Ozone may be up for this one…
Aside from that, there are now quests added into GOKEN to keep players busy while they are on their journey.
Hope you guys enjoy
Large Update Ver. 1.2.0 Released!
GOKEN takes another big step towards its full release with our 1.2.0 update released!
Here's what we have to offer...
-Wiz Points
A new customization option "Wiz Points" is added to further enable players to customize their hero to their liking.
Find the Tat Wiz somewhere in the world to receive "Wiz Points." The cooler your tattoo is, the more points you will receive!
-Quests
Aside from the main story, we have now added "Quests" to be played on the side with an all new interface supporting the system.
Complete these quests to receive items that will aid your journey and looting!
-Additional Story
A few extra episodes have been added to the main story!
These stories contain some new dungeons and very powerful bosses, even for those who have already beaten the game are sure to be challenged... BE AWARE.
-Cloud Saving
Cloud saving is added for those who plan on playing GOKEN cross platforms.
Make sure to "save" in-game prior to using this feature as the save file itself needs to be updated.
We are, unfortunately, experiencing trouble transfering save datas to and from Steam OS.
i.e.
Steam OS to Windows OS
(Steam OS to Steam OS works flawlessly.)
We are working on a fix but in the mean time, please do not attempt transfering your save from Steam OS to another operating system.
-Game Balance
The enemies have been almost entirely revamped to better fit the new environment.
Due to the players extreme buff by the new Wiz Point system, the game should feel a lot more challenging.
-Others Some minor bugs have been tweaked out.
This update contains many new content and systems, so much and so, that players who have already beat the game are sure in for a surprise! (and a challenge of course!)
I'd like to use this opportunity to thank everyone again for their continued support and hope you enjoy this new chapter of GOKEN!
