Tags: Kingsvein; Rad Codex
While all of the tactical RPGs from Eldiran of Rad Codex have been well-received on our forums, his first title Voidspire Tactics remains a favorite of many. Its metroidvania-style world design was a happy medium between the linear gauntlet of Alvora Tactics and the massive open world of Horizon's Gate. Fans of Voidspire will be happy to learn that Eldiran's next game Kingsvein is a return to that style. Set in the subterranean realm of Graven, in Kingsvein players will assume the role of a "Wisp Slayer" tasked with reclaiming the titular city from the evil forces that have overtaken it. It looks it's got all the familiar elements from previous Rad Codex titles, such as dynamic environments and an extensive class system. Here's the game's announcement trailer and description:
All contact with the city of Kingsvein has been lost. As Wisp Slayer, your role is to investigate and exterminate whatever evil lurks there.
Kingsvein is scheduled for release sometime later this year. In the meantime, you can wishlist the game on Steam.

- Adventure through the castle and its outer reaches as you see fit - secret treasures and skulking beasts hide around every corner!
- Dynamic and deep tactical combat - toss your enemies into spikes then electrify their blood, or cover the battlefield in flames
- Customize your team by mixing and matching 15 different classes, each with upgradeable abilities and equippable passives
- Use your abilities to explore - freeze rivers with your magic, blast through cave walls, and throw chains to topple statues
- Ride your loyal steed in and out of combat, and train it to be as fierce as any Knight
- Set in the realm of Graven, a weird subterranean world of living soil and half-stone Diecast
- From the maker of the highly-rated Horizon's Gate, Voidspire Tactics and Alvora Tactics
