Indie Celtic Party-Based RPG The Waylanders Is Now Live On Steam Early Access
The Celtic-themed medieval party-based RPG The Waylanders is now live on Steam Early Access. The game is being developed by Spanish indie video game developer Gato Studio who describe The Waylanders as a game made by RPG lovers for RPG lovers.
“The first meeting between the Celts and their gods, the Tuatha de Danaan should have been a time of celebration and enlightenment. But, when the negotiations go catastrophically wrong, you find yourself near death- and untethered from time! The land has been overtaken by magickal corruptions, and the kingdom, once peaceful, has splintered into multiple factions warring for the throne. The Celtic culture- a complex tapestry of different religions, cultures, mortal and immortal human races, werewolves, druids, goblins, and monsters threatens to tear at every seam. Will you support the immature yet rightful heir, or the pragmatic general? What alliances will you forge, what friendships will you foster, what romances will you pursue, and... what will you do when you are suddenly thrust into Medieval Spain?”
The Early Access build is composed 8 unique locations with over 40 explorable maps which makes up around 10-12 hours of the game’s 40-hour full launch gameplay. The developers promise to roll out regular updates as development on the game continues. A development roadmap will be published later this month.
“The Waylanders was a dream game for the studio and the people that work on it. This has many stories of Galician culture that we’ve grown up with,” said Gato Studio Creative Director Sergio Prieto in the official press release. “Now, we want to share this Early Access version of The Waylanders with players and make them part of development. We really want this game to grow with RPG fans so they are a part of our dream too.”
The game is normally priced at $34.99 but Steam is currently offering a 10% discount on the game until June 24th. You’ll find the official trailer below.
