Baldur’s Gate 3-style tactical combat gets fast-paced simultaneous twist in RPG that keeps compelling choices coming
Baldur’s Gate 3 has taken the RPG world by storm, leaving fans eagerly anticipating their next fix. Well, the wait is almost over as Burst2Flame is proud to announce the release of their simultaneous turn-based tactical RPG, Stolen Realm, on March 8th. This exciting new game will be available on PC, Xbox, and Switch, promising to deliver an action-packed, strategic experience without all the RPG-bloat.
Stolen Realm takes the core of the RPG experience and streamlines it, allowing players to fully immerse themselves in making important decisions. From strategic combat choices to flexible class-building options, the game offers players the opportunity to create their own unique hero. With over 300 skills to choose from and 10 distinct skill trees, players can build spell-slinging assassins or shadow-infused knights. But the fun doesn’t stop there, as Stolen Realm also offers players the chance to strike deals with demons, adding another layer of depth to the game.
Fans can choose to embark on their journey solo or team up with friends in co-op mode, with the option to have up to six heroes. The game boasts over 700 fully customizable lootable items, each with unique modifiers, allowing players to tailor their gameplay experience. And for those who prefer a more flexible gaming experience, Stolen Realm offers frictionless drop-in/drop-out systems, allowing players to join or leave a quest at any time.
Stolen Realm initially gained attention through its early access launch on Steam, garnering overwhelmingly positive user reviews. The game takes inspiration from popular RPGs like Baldur’s Gate 3 and Divinity: Original Sin but adds its unique twist. The simultaneous turn-based system allows for fast-paced encounters while maintaining the strategic richness that turn-based RPG fans love.
Players can explore procedurally generated dungeons, ranging from frosty peaks to overgrown jungles, while making their way to the final boss. Each dungeon presents a variety of choices, including battles, story events, resource gathering, shops, and treasure rooms. Along the way, players can discover and customize rare and powerful gear, such as the legendary mace, Abbadon the Soul Crusher, which raises fallen enemies to fight for you. Or the cursed sword, Bloodletter, which grants additional power at the cost of the player’s life force. And for an added layer of intrigue, D&D-like attribute-based rolls in special events can have permanent effects on the player’s character.
Stolen Realm is making its official launch out of early access on PC and will also be available on Xbox and Switch on March 8th. This highly anticipated release will include a complete story mode and a new streamer mode, allowing viewers to take on the role of dungeon master. They can vote and decide on the enemies and events that the streamer will face, adding a sense of community and excitement to the gameplay. Not to mention the already available roguelike mode, hardcore mode, and six difficulty levels.
The development team at Burst2Flame is overjoyed to finally release Stolen Realm to a wider audience.
“After years of dedication and hard work, our small team is thrilled to launch Stolen Realm on PC, Xbox, and Switch on March 8th,” says developer Jason Jolley. “The success and praise we’ve received during early access have been incredible, and we can’t wait to bring the game to even more fans.”
With its unique twist on RPG gameplay, customizable characters and gear, and exciting new features, Stolen Realm is sure to be a hit among RPG fans. So mark your calendars for March 8th and get ready to embark on an epic adventure in Stolen Realm.
