MiTale, an indie game development studio from Finland, has announced that action RPG Willow Guard will be released on PC on April 10th. In the forthcoming narrative adventure, players become one of the last protectors of an animal kingdom, in a fantasy medieval world abandoned by its gods.
Darkness is once again descending upon the Hinterlands of Tersa, as horrifying monster attacks have left your animal brethren fearful and calling out for help. As Ghweros, one of the few remaining Willowguards, you must don your threadbare armour and wield a blade that’s lost its lustre to protect other creatures, investigate the invasion, and (potentially) discover thousands of years of secrets in the process.
In lovingly crafted pixel art dungeons with randomized layouts, you’ll battle more than 10 enemy types, taking them down with hacks, slashes and your combat ability deck. With light deckbuilding elements, you’ll craft cards with loot collected from chests, quest rewards from NPCs, and for completing dungeons, to access abilities including health and armour regeneration, throwing daggers, and more.
Key Features of Willow Guard
- A Living Fantasy World: Tersa lives and changes as you play – new characters appear, new options open up, and opportunities are lost as the days pass. To experience everything requires several replays!
- Zero Levels, But Multiple Retries: With no traditional level-based progression, improvement is down to crafting cards, finding and upgrading equipment, and working on your own skills. Although dungeons are randomized and don’t feature save points, you can repeat the encounter for a frustration-free experience.
