Alaloth: Champions of The Four Kingdoms is a high-fantasy RPG set in a dark world inspired by the darkest period of The Middle Ages. It's a story about great warriors, war and epic fights. Players take on the roles of mighty heroes (or villains), undertaking quests, building reputations, and gaining ancient relics and secrets that will allow them to triumph. The challenge doesn’t end after the first playthrough – new game modes are activated after finishing the game for the first time, giving players even more options for exploring the kingdoms and customizing their characters. Alaloth brings the ARPG dynamics to a new level with a skill-based gameplay in a gritty, dark, mature environment filled with magic and blood!
Set in a vibrant world corrupted by darkness and full of lethal dangers, the game brings players to face an ancient evil, in an epic journey through devastated lands, plagued by conflicts with noble families and clans fighting each other. Alaloth combines a hardcore combat system featuring motion captured combos and executions and the depth of cRPG that fans of the genre have always enjoyed playing.
The combat system is the core of the game experience. You will have to master different fighting styles to survive in combat. You can choose among three different Ways: Ways of Arms, Ways of Nature, Ways of Gods. Each ways allows player to spec his character following a specific class. Each class has its own abilities to use along with combat combos that are commons for all the champions.
Each hero can hire up to 3 co6mpanions during the game. Or even group with other players on hunt for larger and deadliest creatures in the world.
Gamera Interactive did a lot of research and, additionally, fantasy is something that is still appealing for a very large audience. The game is set between old school classic RPG and modern action games. All the animations used for the combat system are motion captured for a gorgeous effect. Moreover, every single environment is hand painted by the studio’s artists. While the developers were mainly inspired by games such as Baldur’s Gate and Pillars of Eternity, Alaloth was also influenced by Game of Thrones and its political landscape. There are many different Houses in the game, fighting for power, prestige and influence, which players will see unfold.
Alaloth takes players to a vibrant fantasy world created with the support of the RPG legend Chris Avellone. The game lets players explore a fully realized ARPG landscape that is a mixture of old school classics and modern action games. The dark god Alaloth has descended to the mortal realm, lying imprisoned in the Valley of Storms and wreaking havoc. Destroy Alaloth within his prison to free the lands from demise. Do it as a hero… or as a dark lord.
Chris Avellone, who was a writer for such titles as Pillars of Eternity, Planescape Torment and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, provided creative support for the game. He advised the developers and gave feedback on design content, assisting in the creation of the lore and the characters’ backstories within the world of Alaloth.
