The newest Riot Forge game is another tale set in the League of Legends universe, stepping outside of the confines of the Summoner’s Rift to explore a smaller slice of the world. Ruined Kingfocused on Bilgewater and the Shadow Isles, The Mageseeker was all about Demacia, and now we have a way to explore Zaun for ourselves. Convergence: A League of LegendsStory (stylized asCONV/RGENCE) is the latest Riot Forge game, developed by Double Stallion.

Convergence is an action-platformer in the vein of Castlevania or Metroid, and it centers on plucky protagonist Ekko. It’s a solid game that can be beaten in a few sittings, packed with likable characters and tense boss fights. Some of the platforming can be a bit finicky, but luckily, I have a suite of gizmos on hand to get around the most difficult bits.

Ekko is an inventor who creates gadgets like localized time-travel devices and wall-running shoes, but his real power is his heart of gold. He was born in Zaun, a steampunk city built in the shadows and crevices beneath the seemingly shiny tech utopia Piltover. The two cities have a symbiotic relationship, with Piltover taking advantage of its position over Zaun to oppress its people.

I take control of Ekko in the aftermath of a massive explosion in a Zaunite spire, sending a mysterious orange substance everywhere and drawing the attention of ruthless chem-barons and Piltover elite. Also, an older and ominous Future Ekko has shown up to warn me of some great calamity. All of this suggests there’s a crisis on the horizon, and Ekko isn’t the type of kid to sit back and let it happen.

Ekko has helpful gadgets to aid his journey, like his Z-Drive, which allows him to turn back the clock by a few seconds. This obviously is a handy
