You are in a barbarian land. They are trying to kill you. The Queen demands you tame them. So what now? Escape into an exciting, open-ended story and cunning tactical combat. Epic, indie fantasy adventure. Freely explore a huge world, fight for fame and power, and shape the world as you choose.
Players can create a party of up to four adventurers and customize each one with a variety of skills spanning Combat, Magic, Utility, and region-specific abilities. As players level up, they can freely redistribute their skill points, allowing for flexible character builds and the ability to adapt to different situations. This customization extends to the equipment and runes that can be equipped, further enhancing each character's capabilities.
The turn-based tactical combat system requires players to carefully plan and execute their moves. Enemies possess a variety of abilities and behaviors that players must learn to counter effectively. Managing limited resources like energy (mana) and positioning the party members strategically are key to success in battles. The combat is designed to be challenging, with some boss encounters requiring players to devise specific strategies to overcome them.
Players can manage their fortresses, which serve as hubs where they can build various structures, such as workshops and markets, that provide resources, equipment, and other benefits. Players must carefully balance their resource allocation to ensure their fortresses are well-equipped to support their adventuring party. The decisions made in fortress management can have far-reaching consequences, as they can impact the player's relationship with the local population and the overall power of their faction.
The game features a large, open-ended world for players to explore. Players are encouraged to thoroughly explore each region, as they will encounter a variety of quests, dungeons, and other points of interest. Importantly, the game requires players to clear a dungeon or area in a single run, as enemies will respawn upon returning. This adds a sense of challenge and urgency to the exploration, as players must carefully manage their resources and party composition to succeed.
The story is heavily influenced by the player's choices and actions. Players are often faced with difficult moral dilemmas that can have significant consequences on the game world and their relationships with various factions and characters. These choices can lead to vastly different outcomes, encouraging multiple playthroughs to experience the various narrative paths.
