Knights of Frontier Valley

Alright, so.

I wanna put a real one in front of ya, for the real ones still here.

This one at a glance is going to, and is intended to, appear like a very rustic experience. 5 minutes into it, you're going to feel like it's nothing special and too early to appreciate. Lemme tell ya where sticking around a few hours got me.

I see the work that's been done building an entire engine for the game. It's reaffirmed my belief in sweating to the oldies so to speak. It has deep random event systems, things the NPCs remember you did, and generates a randomized valley on play throughs that is even reflected "accurately" (flaws in them because some adventurer drew it by hand and memory are intended) in the treasure maps or various directives given in the game.

I'll drop a spoiler that I think is worth doing so in that finishing the intro part as the starter thief character they give you unlocks more of the full game as a reward. This unlock gives you the option of making a starter man at arms or trickster character that advance into a number of other well conceived classes. You're going to feel like where do I f'ing go, how does this f'ing work. That pain is weakness leaving your body. And, if you truly get stuck, you have Master RPG sherpa Nigron here to help you until I get run outta here.

Again, it's a rustic experience I'm not so sure something I would have linked in the "copy and paste of the game awards advertisement" section that this is turning into... but needs to be linked here anyways. It's worth supporting and the goals they've set for themselves in some fairly advanced questing systems and true immersion are quite notable. I don't want to spoil that for you, but sincerely challenge even the "calladooty" bros to power through the intro and into seeing the first cut scene and class selections.

This one has the magic, I can feel it in my pimp bones.

Plus, this guy is doing the writing for it and fully believes in the big dog artist/developer working on it. You may have heard of him, Robert J. Kuntz, co-big dog of the late Gary Gygax.



The man is a consummate RPG/fantasy purist and will no doubt deliver an authentic experience in what feels to me like a bleak modern age. He's giving it one last ride and it's worth your time. I have surely been immersed by the experience.

Strifen , I am lookin' at you, buddy.
