Greetings brave knights and warriors!
Some of you may have known that Legend of Eisenwald has entered early access on steam. We have been working hard to get the game ready for official launch. With that said, not [B]ALL[/B] the features are in the early access. We are adding and fixing as we go.
[QUOTE]This Early Access build is an extensive slice of the game with more than ten hours of gameplay. It features two first scenarios of the main campaign: the Prologue (tutorial) and The Way Home and a standalone scenario The Masquerade. Core gameplay mechanics are ready to be played and tested but many sound and video effects are not ready yet as well as many things that are still being worked on. [/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]A Story-Driven Strategic RPG
Play through the extensive main campaign, containing seven scenarios, as well as a stand-alone scenario, The Masquerade. Each scenario, or chapter in the story, will take you to a new part of Eisenwald and present new challenges to overcome. The decisions you make affect how the story plays out with several paths and endings.
Original Turn-Based Battles
The combat system is heavily streamlined to create a dynamic form of turn-based battle that maintains all the tactical benefits of a turn-based system but a much faster pace of play that removes the frustrating moving between attacks.
Combat feels much more like an RPG than a strategy game but provides a greater degree of tactical depth and flexibility than similar games.
Low Fantasy Authentic Setting
Legends of Eisenwald is set in a believable medieval land featuring supernatural elements. Rather than the high fantasy worlds of elves and dragons, Eisenwald is based on the concept of how the world would look if all the medieval superstitions turned out to be true.
You’ll encounter witchcraft, terrifying creatures and mystery on your journey but the world is driven primarily by human motivations and politics rather than mystical powers.
Highly Customisable Heroes and Units
Enjoy deep skill-trees and multiple options for customising your character and army as you progress through the game. Choose from three distinct hero classes in the Knight, Mystic or Baroness and then equip and develop your hero and troops to your personal taste and play style.
Huge Game With More Than 30 Hours of Gameplay
A main campaign with seven scenarios as well as the standalone scenario of The Masquerade will be included in the game at launch, providing more than 30 hours of gameplay and a significant amount of replay value beyond that due to the non-linear story and impact on the combat from your choice of hero class.

I will be available to answer any questions any time.
This game looks really neat and exactly the sort of thing I'd be interested in playing. Definitely going to be picking it up before too much longer.

Getting a lot of Disciples vibes off of this, which is a good thing. I'm also really digging the looks and the more authentic medieval feel.

Disciples 2 is the game we were mostly inspired by! So, Disciples vibes are not random here :)
By the way, I am Alexander, head of the company that is making this game. If there is anything you would like to know about our game or how crazy we are making a hardcore oldschool RPG these days, I am sure I can say a word or two about it.
