Prelude Dark Pain invites tactic and strategy fans to join a group of heroes commanded by local blacksmith Soren. The game will offer more than 20 playable heroes that players can mix and match to form their squad, each of them with unique skills and talents that can be customized and evolved by managing a settlement.
Prelude Dark Pain offers a non-linear dark, fantasy open-world with hand-crafted characters and battlegrounds where Soren and his crew will face dark forces plotting against humanity. The player’s decisions will shape the evolution of this story that involves over 20 nations and cultures and more than 70 different enemies.
“We’re extremely excited to finally announce that our crowdfunding campaign for Prelude Dark Pain is launching very soon”, says Arturo Martín, co-founder of QUICKFIRE GAMES. “We’ve been creating a unique dark fantasy world that aims to offer a deep gameplay experience crafted by classic tactic RPG fans, and we cannot wait to show more in our Kickstarter campaign”.
