Baladins, the enchanting time-loop RPG inspired by tabletop adventures, is set to cast its spell on PC players as it launches via Steam on May 15, 2024. Developed by Seed by Seed and published by Armor Games Studios, this co-op fantasy promises a captivating narrative experience filled with magic and charm. While the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5|4 versions are slated for a later release, PC gamers will be the first to delve into the mystical realms of Gatherac.
In Baladins, players can step into the shoes of five distinct classes: Cook, Pyro, Dancer, Luxomancer, and Bard. Each class offers unique abilities and perspectives, allowing players to shape their own heroic journey. Whether adventuring solo or teaming up with friends in local or online co-op, the quest to spread joy and save Gatherac from the time-eating dragon, Colobra, is filled with surprises and magical encounters.
Check out the PC release trailer for Baladins below:
The heart of Baladins lies in its choice-based narrative, where every decision matters. Engage in dialogue with colorful NPCs, roll the dice to determine fate, and witness the consequences of your actions unfold in dynamically evolving storylines. With multiple paths and outcomes, no adventure is the same, ensuring endless replayability and discovery.
Venture through four enchanting regions within Gatherac: Mouliac, Hortegarde, Mercazon, and Lumensac. Each region is brimming with picturesque landscapes, from the lush Cork Forest to the majestic Castle of Hortegarde. Encounter quirky characters, solve disputes, and immerse yourself in a world where diversity and celebration thrive amidst differences.
Utilize action and movement points strategically as you navigate through tasks, gain experience, and enhance your character’s abilities. But beware, time is not on your side. Colobra’s judgment awaits after six weeks, determining if your heroic deeds have satisfied its appetite for mirth and adventure. Fail, and the time loop resets, challenging you to approach each loop with renewed determination.
Armor Games Studios CEO & Founder Dan McNeely emphasizes Baladins’ accessibility and inclusivity, inviting both genre veterans and newcomers to embark on a delightful choose-your-own-adventure experience. With a blend of time loop mechanics, colorful aesthetics, and engaging storytelling, Baladins offers a whimsical twist on classic CRPGs.
Baladins will be available on Steam for $24.99, featuring English, French, and Japanese language options. Prepare to immerse yourself in a world of wonder, magic, and endless possibilities as you journey through Gatherac and shape your destiny as a legendary hero.
