Raw Power Games introduces "Chronicles Medieval," a new game aimed at allowing players to forge their own medieval chronicle. The game is designed to be deep, unpredictable, and personalized, offering a unique medieval sandbox experience.
The game aims to portray the brutal and rough nature of medieval life but also highlight the visual variety and vividness of the world, moving away from the common grey representations. Enigmatic layers are added to the settlements to spark curiosity and motivate exploration.
Extensive research went into Chronicles Medieval to ensure historical believability, from armor forging and clothing patterns to character design. The goal is to make characters come to life authentically.
The combat system is designed to be authentic and challenging, based on historical martial arts. While realism is important, the game is not a simulator, allowing for artificial systems that enhance gameplay. The aim is to make combat brutal, urgent, and impactful, emphasizing survival over heroic superpowers.
The game utilizes a single framework for all systems, allowing for efficient performance and interconnected gameplay. Chronicles Medieval is an ambitious game with a large character gallery, meaningful decisions, and grand battles divided into combat, captain, and tactical layers.
Players are encouraged to express themselves and pursue their desires within a vast exploration map covering medieval Europe. This includes visiting settlements, attacking caravans, chasing bandits, performing quests, hiring companions, and participating in battles, all experienced through an immersive third-person perspective.
The game focuses on immersion over management, with multiple systems allowing players to shape their journey and the world. An underlying economy drives trade and situations, which players can influence, creating a dynamic and real game world.
Chronicles Medieval offers a wealth of opportunities for players to rewrite history. The developers invite players to wishlist the game on Steam, sign up for the newsletter, and join their community.
