SKALD: Against The Black Priory

Skald: Against the Black Priory is an old-school roleplaying game that combines modern design and a fully realised narrative with authentic 8-bit looks and charms. Delve into a dark fantasy world, full of tragic heroes, violent deaths and Lovecraftian, cosmic horror. Explore an engaging, branching story mixed with rich exploration and crunchy, tactical, turn-based combat that will seem familiar yet innovative to RPG fans, old and new. Do you have what it takes to lead a company of broken heroes from the tainted shores of Idra to the gates of the Black Priory – and beyond? Gather your party of characters in a time of courageous needs, or heroic recklessness, and engage in challenging, turn- and grid-based combat. Cleave, blast or stealth your way through engagements and combats – play it your way. Skald enhances the beloved formula with engaging modern RPG features like auto-resolve, journals and quest logs, modern inventory systems and more!

Set in an unforgiving world with lovecraftian horrors, your decisions will take you through a rich, branching narrative – or lead you and your party to dire consequences. Uncover the grand schemes of the Gallian Empire, live a life of a mercenary or explore the vast expanse of Freymark and the Outer Isles. Experience a richly illustrated world of authentic pixel art using thousands of hand-drawn tiles and images with a palette inspired by the legendary Commodore 64 computer – Optional CRT filter for that authentic old-school experience. Build your main character and recruit the party you need from among a series of diverse characters, each with their own skill-set, agenda and personality. Choose from a dozen classes and backgrounds as well as heaps of feats, spells and equipment as you take on unimaginable challenges and horrors from your party level 1 to 20.
