Nothing makes us feel as nostalgic as old-fashioned CRPGs. Frontier Valley Knights We aim to capture that magic with a serious commitment to authenticity. If your eyes get blurry, you can see Planescape Torment, Ultima, or Original Baldur’s Gate, and the entire game is created by one developer using an engine built from scratch.
Heavy inspiration from classic CRPGs of the 80s and 90s, Frontier Valley Knights offers deep RPG systems and customized experiences that allow older games like Fallout and Daggerfall to stand the test of time. But developer Martin Menzel is taking it a step further to make this retro adventure feel as authentic as possible.
“My role models were developers like Richard Garriott, Peter Molinaud and Sid Meyer,” explains Menzel. “They didn’t use third-party engines. They wrote the game from scratch.” So Menzel took on the mammoth task of creating his own custom RPG engine from scratch.
The result is a Roguelike RPG that looks classic and plays. Create your own customized adventurer and choose your skills, occupation, and class to choose the best class for your playstyle. We then explore a dynamic and procedurally generated world with realistic day and night cycles, weather, lunar stages, seasons, and Towns Forks each with their own schedule. If there are no map markers, you are truly left to pave your own path.
But this is not a simple, playful adventure. You will need to survive the dangers of the wilderness and will need to fight manually or take part in turn-based combat where you can use an automatic attack system. Aside from obvious threats, you must feed, water, and leave your adventurers well and compete with faction politics.
The best part? This is a game designed for multiple replays, as it means that each playthrough produces different maps, characters, relationships, items, etc.
The Knights of Frontier Valley sound like a perfect old-fashioned adventure, but I can’t wait to check out its deep RPG system (especially considering that DND’s Rob Kunz works together in designing the game). Currently there is no release date, but here you can already keep the Knights of Frontier Valley on your wish list.
