Pixel-art turn-based RPG fans - check out the demo for Of Blades & Tails

By - | Views: 15,509

Interested in checking out a fresh upcoming pixel-art turn-based RPG? Of Blades & Tails looks pretty great and there's now a demo available to try.

The developer explains that it's inspired by Diablo, Tales of Maj'Eyal and Stoneshard but there's no permadeath so you don't need to worry about any brutal difficulty here. That's not to say it will be easy but it will regularly give you a save so that's nice. On top of that the lore is inspired by the classic point & click adventure Inherit the Earth. Made with Godot Engine, you can see a trailer below:

Nice that there is a demo for Linux on Steam to try out now. And the game is pretty promising as well (wishlisted).
