Tags: Quixotic Software; Realms of Antiquity: The Shattered Crown
Our likely final newspost of the year is about yet another Ultima-inspired oldschool RPG. Its name is Realms of Antiquity: The Shattered Crown and like Nox Archaist it was programmed for retro 1980s hardware, in this case the TI-99/4A. Created by one Adam Haase aka adamantyr, Realms of Antiquity has actually been in development on-and-off since 2005. In recent years work has progressed more steadily and today the game was finally released. There is no launch trailer, so here are some screenshots along with the brief description:
Prepare yourself for a journey to a world of fantasy and adventure!
A land fallen into chaos needs stalwart heroes to save it from a sinister and powerful force of evil...
Enter a massive sprawling world of wild forests, frozen plains, misty mountains, scorched deserts, and endless oceans. Explore cities, towns and villages to rest and recover as well as buy equipment. Talk to sages, warriors, peasants and sovereigns to aid you in your quest. Sail the open seas or pilot boats up rivers. Descend into dark dungeons, castle ruins, and mysterious places to find treasure, fight evil, and locate powerful relics.
Do you have what it takes to save the Realms of Antiquity?
Like Nox Archaist, Realms of Antiquity is currently only available from the developer's official website, where the digital edition can be purchased for $20. For additional details about the game, you can also check out adamantyr's long-running development blog.
