Kromlech

The tapestry of our world had been woven by the gods with great care a long time ago. Only the mountains and the wind can remind us of those ancient times now. Under the guidance and the protection of the gods, our civilization had prospered and grown. Yet the Golden Age was not meant to last. The flames of war scorched the land and sown chaos in their wake. Darkness took hold of the hearts of many as kin slaughtered kin.

The threads of the divine plan are becoming undone and what is the gods’ response?
Deafening silence…

However, there is yet hope. People whisper rumors of a fearless champion, a paragon of the old ways. “Cronach” they call him. Perhaps it will be him, who will lead us back into the light. In this life, or the next…

Brutal Combat
The game features an „easy-to-learn, hard-to-master“ combat system, which rewards precision and skillful play. Damage-soaking enemies are not difficult, they are tedious. Battles in Kromlech are fast and deadly, both for you and your enemies, to reflect the brutal savagery of the world. Under the right circumstances, the encounter can end with a single well-aimed strike. Execute, intimidate, and crush your opponents!

Challenge-based Leveling
Heroes are as strong as their legend claims them to be. Grow more powerful by gaining renown for performing heroic deeds and fulfilling oaths. Be wary that every opportunity to gain renown also carries the risk of losing it in equal measure. However, fame is a double-edged sword. As your renown grows, others will challenge your legend to see how tough you really are. If you want to stay on top, you will have to fight for it.

Action-driven Player Decisions
Decide the fate of the world with your actions, not words. Crises can emerge anywhere at any time and, if left unchecked, will leave permanent marks on the world. Despite your best efforts, sometimes you simply cannot save everyone. Sacrifices will have to be made and the smoldering ruins of destroyed civilization will serve as a grim reminder of that.

Immersive World
The game world changes not just physically as the settlements become abandoned and fall into ruin, otherworldly growth suffocates flora and fauna, and enemies grow bolder and more numerous, but also audibly. Ambient audio and the accompanying soundtrack change with the state of the world and the situation on the screen. Sounds of nature fall silent as the otherworldly corruption spreads and out-of-place electronic beats and lines the otherwise folk and primal soundtrack.

No Copy-pasted Enemies
Every enemy you will encounter in-game will have a randomized set of armor consisting of different parts. It is not just a fashion statement - the more armor pieces an enemy wears, the less weak spots they have, and the more difficult they are to defeat. No two combat encounters will be quite the same!

Rogue-lite Elements
Death does not have to be the end, it is just another step on a very long way forward. Every great deed, every felled foe, every faithful companion, they all make your journey easier, if even by a little bit. The universe remembers your actions, no matter how small.
