Sabre Wulf opens with the shattering of the legendary Sabre Wulf amulet by a mysterious stranger — an act that releases the savage Sabre Wulf from its long imprisonment. The creature's old nemesis, Sabreman, the celebrated explorer and treasure hunter, is the only one with the knowledge and determination to track it down and force it back into captivity.
Sabreman's pursuit carries him through a world teeming with magical creatures, each possessing unique abilities that can be wielded as tools or weapons to survive the traps, obstacles, and the Sabre Wulf itself. The game blends 2D and 3D gameplay across a variety of distinct levels, keeping the pursuit unpredictable at every turn.
