'Lords of Xulima' Gets Official Launch Date, New Features

by Rainier on Nov. 10, 2014 @ 12:45 p.m. PST

Lords of Xulima is a 2D isometric, turn-based RPG featuring strategic gameplay where players will guide a party of six through an epic struggle between gods and men.

Lords of Xulima is inspired by classic, legendary sagas such as Ultima and Might & Magic but with a modern interface and enchanting visuals. Players will embark on an epic journey, where they can freely explore each unique region based on their own preferences and skill level. Combat is one of the fundamental pillars of Lords of Xulima, as there is an infinite amount of strategies against the 100 diverse creatures that inhabit Xulima.

A custom-made engine supports the isometric, detailed 2D backgrounds and 3D animations; a welcome modern touch to the familiar exploration and turn-based combat views. Craftsmanship and care are also invested in making the lore, weather effects and soundtrack contribute to the immersion as much as possible. On the interface side, navigating through your skills, equipment choices and other menus will be as simple and concise as possible, due to balanced item and class ability usage playing an essential role in the player’s success.

We have been in Early Access stage for about three months now and have made many improvements to the game. Now it is much better than ever thanks to the awesome feedback of our community. Thank you very much to all that have collaborated in the final development stage of LoX.

To give you thanks, we have added some new cool features to the game in version 0.18 that perhaps were the most wanted by the community.

  • Quick Bar buttons in Combat: Every character has now a quick-bar with 8 slots where you can place skills, items for use and items to equip. You can use the quick bar by clicking in the buttons or more easily by pressing their corresponding number.
  • Custom Portraits: Now you can add custom portraits to be available when creating new characters. Also you can now change the portrait of a character by clicking on their portrait in the character screen. As soon as you run the 0.18 version you will have a new folder "Portraits" in "Documents\My Games\Lords of Xulima" with a text file with the instructions about how to add them (the format, size, naming...).
  • Steam Cloud: Yes, now you can continue your game from any computer you wish. Even the custom portraits are now synchronized in the cloud.
  • Two new music themes: Our awesome composer Nicolas de Ferran has created two new memorable themes that can be listened to now in the beginning of the adventure: "The Lost Continent" for the Tranquil Coast and Varas-Talak, and "Mist on the Swamps" in Rasmura. Now the Soundtrack has 15 beautiful themes that will be included in the Deluxe Edition with the best quality.
  • Displaying Encumbrance Values in the Shop: Now, when you examine armor pieces in the inventory or in the shops, it displays the values of the max weight the character can carry, and how it is affected if they equipped that armor piece. A very helpful information for those that want to make the most of your party.
