Bylina - Slavic Myth-Inspired Fantasy Skill-Based Action-RPG

[cyborgboy95]

ABOUT THIS GAME​

Embark on an epic journey to the Far Far Kingdom and challenge Koschei the Deathless to save your immortal soul and become a true hero in Bylina, an action game with RPG elements rooted in Slavic folklore and myths. Take on the role of Falconet, a young bogatyr born without hero's powers, shunned and underestimated by almost everyone. Conquer numerous ordeals, overcome insurmountable odds, and become a legendary hero whose tales will be told for ages to come.

Falconet dreams of following in the footsteps of his father, a fabled bogatyr - but during what seems like a simple task, he finds himself in the dark and mysterious Far Far Kingdom where... he dies. To his surprise, the young hero is revived by a mysterious spirit with whom he must now share his body. Falconet faces three daunting tasks: reclaim control over his soul, uncover an ancient mystery surrounding his new companion, and save the world from imminent doom.

Discover a vibrant and extraordinary world based on Slavic myths and legends. Journey through the Land of Cities, boasting diverse locales - from sunlit forests to gloomy dungeons and imposing castles, each with their own unique features and atmosphere. As soon as you open new areas, prepare to encounter strange local inhabitants, as well as countless challenges, treasures, and puzzles waiting to be solved.

Improve your skills by mastering unique techniques and spells, and engage in fierce battles with common bandits, terrifying legendary creatures, and brutal bosses in which every mistake could be your last.

Expand your arsenal, embracing mysterious magical powers as well as a variety of armaments, from swords and shields to spears and bows. Level up, increase your strength, create new items, find and experiment with rare types of armor, and fight back against an ancient evil.

The eternal struggle between good and evil is not as obvious and clear-cut as it seems at first glance in the world of Bylina; its inhabitants experience complex inner lives filled with their fears, anxieties, hatred, and scars left by past trials that have shaped them into who they are today. Falconet will have to face not only legions of powerful foes in combat; but also the emotions, feelings, and struggles that make a true human soul.

I've been waiting for the new Konung for the last 20 years...maybe this will scratch the itch

Here's hoping they smash it out of the park because it looks dire for Konung. Granted, I have never played it and am going on what I see on Steam.

Don't want to be a dream crusher, but it's apparently a Diablo-like.

Diablo and... Blasphemous maybe? Meh.

 

[ropetight]

Don't know if it is intentional, everything has a slight miniature feel.
Maybe because of lighting or camera angle.

The freak does this description mean? How does this translate to gameplay?

I knew this will be either soursrike or diabloid. Fuck this shit.

Konung successor would have been nice though.

I should rather write Diablo-like with (deeper story layer that considers the issues of good and evil in a way that is far from black and white) extra steps. Still not Konung, but might be something with it's own kind of identity?
