The RPG The Great Whale Road is coming to Kickstarter on November 17:
DESCRIPTION
The Great Whale Road is a medieval RPG with turn-based tactics, longships and axes. Players travel the whale road - an Anglo-Saxon name for the sea - to supply their home settlement. Recruiting a crew and the occasional hero requires renown, which the player can earn in combat as well as by trading and exploring.
KEY FEATURES
GAMEPLAY (EXPLORATION, CREW MANAGEMENT, Turn-Based Combat)
- Explore the early medieval North Sea coast with historical settlements and trading hubs.
- Select your hero and crew from historical cultures, including Anglo-Saxons, Picts, Danes, Franks and Britons.
- Select different historical ships and ship types from skin boats to the Sutton Hoo ship.
- Pirate, raid or trade to support and develop your home settlement.
- Follow the stories of your heroes and champions along the Whale Road.
- Single-player campaign.
- Multi-player arena where players can match their crews against each other.
The inspiration for the gameplay and design comes from a myriad of games, books and movies. The most obvious might be classic RPGs like Baldur's Gate, turn-based giants like XCOM, sea trading games like Port Royale. But we also played a lot of Darkest Dungeon and Sunless Sea to see what they did well, and not so well.
