The Fantasy RPG Is Planned to Launch in Q1 2020
A Kickstarter campaign for the party-based fantasy RPG The Waylanders was officially announced on Tuesday with a fundraising goal of $150,000. A gameplay trailer that explains the game’s mechanics can be viewed below.
The Waylanders is being developed by a Spanish indie studio named Gato Salvaje and it has former BioWare developer Mike Laidlaw acting as a creative consultant (along with several other “high profile writers” that haven’t been revealed yet).
The upcoming RPG has a time travel feature that involves two different eras, Celtic and Medieval. The choices made in one era can effect the world of the other time period and players “will feel the impact of their decisions in surprising and shocking ways,” according to an official press release.
Here’s a full list of features:
- Real-time combat with tactical pause, character creation, and 36 classes (6 basic and 30 advanced)
- Play from a top-down isometric perspective that can be shifted to a third person perspective on the fly
- Story and combat inspired by RPG classics Dragon Age and Neverwinter Nights 2
- 12 different combat formations (2 per class) sees players fuse characters to provide varied and technical combat options
