The Dark Eye: Skilltree Saga Coming in December

On December 4th, Headup Games will release The Dark Eye: Skilltree Saga on Steam .

. The roguelike title will feature 2D turn-based battles allowing players to choose their race (human, elf, or dwarf) and fight to raise their skills as they level up to take on even more powerful (and randomly generated) foes! Players begin right in the middle of a personal tragedy as their daughter is kidnapped, and a dark ruler is laying siege to the city. By a strange turn of events, players end up joining an alliance of knights were they’ll be aided in taking the fight to this dark adversary. The Dark Eye boasts roguelike game elements and lots of gear with which to upgrade abilities and skills. The game will mostly take place on a battle screen that’s much like a fighting game arena ( Tekken , Street Fighter , etc.), however, aside from these turn-based battles, players will also have the chance to shop in the marketplace.

In The Dark Eye , players will face a number of dungeons, ranging in difficulty and headed by boss fights that will challenge their skill. There’s a diverse range of enemies, from mushrooms, to wolves, to strange dragons with plated armor. Players will start as a common villager and watch as their character evolves from ordinary adventurer, to elemental knight who will take back his home and hopefully rescue his daughter in the process. More information about the project can be found on the Steam page, or straight from the developer Silent Dreamsor their publisher, Headup Games.
