'Forged of Blood' - New Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on Nov. 28, 2016 @ 1:21 p.m. PST

Set in a morally grey fantasy world, Forged of Blood is a turn-based tactical RPG that looks to present players with a deeply tactical experience that focuses on meaningful choice and consequence across all gameplay layers.

Baked into the narrative experience of the game will be the questions of morality and duty, and the world will serve to explore the themes of racial divide, familial lines, and politics.

“I’ll admit to having injected my own personal goals as a writer into the story and the world - exploring racial divide and the shifting greys of morality is something that had always interested me. So, it just made sense to build all that into a fantasy world where we can experience, judge, and drive a whole narrative around it.” commented Creative Director Igor Tanzil.

“... while we want to give our players a plethora of decisions to make, we also want those decisions to carry weight and consequence. That is to say that whenever we ask the player to make a choice, be it on the tactical layer, while leveling up, or on the narrative path; that choice has to have a visible consequence after the fact.” says Executive Producer Joe Peterson Handjaja.


Key Features:

  • Tactical Fantasy: Take to the field with sword and shield or cast powerful spells in deep turn-based tactical combat against monsters and men.
  • Classless Warfare: With 9 unique weapons and a vast magic system, Forged of Blood lets you build your characters any way you want - without being constrained by the typical tank/DPS/healer roles.
  • Science in Magic: Explore the freedom and mysteries of one of the most complex and unique magic systems ever attempted in video games.
  • Kingdom at War: Command up to three parties of heroic characters on the strategic layer in your fight to reclaim the empire you lost.
  • Meaningful Choice: Your choices matter. From character building to your choices in the game narrative, your decisions will reverberate across the Strategic and Tactical layers of the game.
  • Your ends; your means: In a world of grays and unique perspectives, it is up to you to decide what is “right” and “wrong” for the future of Attiras. Forged of Blood will introduce a new Tri-Axis Personality Plot (TAPP) system in lieu of the traditional Good vs. Evil scale common in most RPG settings.

Forged of Blood is scheduled to go into Alpha by February 2017, where the studio will seek additional funding to carry the game to completion by mid-2018.
