Dark fantasy turn-based strategy RPG Prelude: Dark Pain will launch in Early Access for PC via Steam this summer, developer Quickfire Games announced.
A new trailer introduces the game’s lore and heroes, as well as showcases some of their strategic synergies.
Newly introduced factions include:
- The Blue Nets – Led by Duocco, the protagonist’s Soren father-in-law, who are tasked with guarding the seas and southern coastline from bandits. This faction has warriors such as Tammais, a frontline bruiser who is outstanding in either attack or defense; Maya, a skilled archer that can summon magic animals; Urza, a high shaman capable of using powerful support magic, and Rufio, a mighty axe wielder who can slice enemies as well as grapple them towards him.
- The Keepers of the Veil – The oldest of the clans, often referred to as Lords of Death; their duty is to protect and fix the veil between realms. Representing this clan, we find the mysterious Sade, a woman of few words, using a cross that allows communication with her divine companion, The Lady of the Cross.
- Van Rigmars – This clan controls the west of Statera. They are the only clan capable of extracting and mastering blood crystals, relics that hold great magical power. From the Van Rigmars, Gala makes her presence known with a musket in one hand and a whip in the other, while also using blood crystal magic for attack power boosting.
