Developer Open Lab Games and their publisher Firesquid have announced their partnership at TactiCon for releasing Becoming Saint next year. It is a tactical game of faith, repentance, and conquest, that draws heavy inspiration from Italian history. Check out the official announcement teaser below to get a glimpse of it.
Becoming Saint is a small-scale, real-time strategy roguelike game. It puts you in the shoes of a young woman in 14th-century Italy. You are determined to preach, inspire, and unite others under your cause. Will you champion pacifism or rule your cult with Machiavellian cunning?
Get ready to define your principles, select your units, and leverage the zeal of your followers to convert and dominate city-states, forging a path to Sainthood. Though numerous challenges await, you may achieve sainthood within your lifetime with determination.
“We’re so happy to reveal Becoming Saint, and that after all our research of the historical setting, studying medieval society and customs, we believe we’ve managed to shape it into a genuinely entertaining game”, said Pietro Polsinelli, Director of Open Lab Games. “With Becoming Saint, we’re aiming to tell an intriguing and accessible generative story, with challenging tactical battles, all rooted in a fascinating period of Italy’s history. We can’t wait to see what set of beliefs will allow you to become a Saint next year!”
