You awaken on the shores of Idra, a land tainted by ancient evil and eldritch horrors. The sea has claimed the lives of many before you, but by some miracle, you have survived. Now, you must gather your strength, rally a band of broken heroes, and brave the dangers that lie ahead, as you seek to unravel the dark secrets of the Black Priory.
SKALD: Against the Black Priory is a dark fantasy role-playing game that combines the nostalgic charm of retro 8-bit graphics with modern game design and storytelling. Dive deep into a world where tragedy and mystery go hand in hand, and explore a universe steeped in Lovecraftian horror and grim adventure. Are you ready to face the horrors lurking in the depths?
Gather Your Party
Lead a group of broken heroes, each with their own story, personality, and set of skills. Engage in tactical, turn-based combat as you cleave, blast, or sneak your way through a variety of deadly enemies. Equip your party using an intuitive modern inventory system, fulfill quests, and uncover hidden secrets by reading journals and uncovering the mysteries of the world. For those who prefer a quicker resolution, an auto-resolve option is available for bypassing combat.
Prepare for the Journey
Prepare your heroes for the trials ahead by crafting items, cooking meals, and selecting your character’s stats. Build your party from a wide selection of diverse allies, each bringing unique skills to the table. Choose from a variety of classes and backgrounds, leveling up to 20 and customizing your spells and equipment to suit your playstyle. Every choice matters as you craft a team capable of surviving the horrors of Idra.
Venture Into the Unknown
SKALD places you in an unforgiving world of choice-based dialogue and unpredictable twists. As a mercenary, your decisions can lead you to great triumphs or cause your demise. With every step, you’ll uncover the dark, twisted schemes of the Gallian Empire, explore the vast regions of Freymark and the Outer Isles, and discover ancient horrors that will test your courage. The fate of your party is in your hands.
Celebrate Yesteryear
Experience a beautifully crafted world inspired by the pixel art style of the legendary Commodore 64 computer. Hand-drawn tiles and images create a visually rich environment, complete with an optional CRT filter for a truly retro experience. Immerse yourself in the authentic 8-bit look and feel of the game as you explore the bleak, dark world of SKALD: Against the Black Priory.
