Alaloth: Champions of the Four Kingdoms

• Alaloth Champions of the Four Kingdoms got a new gameplay trailer this week for the fantasy isometric ARPG. The game is inspired by classic CRPG games but promises to introduce many modern systems into the mix. The trailer shows more of the game in action, with impactful fights, with dodging and blocking.
• In case you missed it Alaloth takes place in the fantasy continent of Palmen, a world divided into four kingdoms. Players will create a character, an unnamed hero who is set on freeing the lands from the perpetual grasp of the evil Alaloth, a demigod that turned on his pantheon and set his sights upon the mortal realm. In order to succeed in this task, the hero will need to enter Alaloth’s Kingdom by opening it up with the help of four light shards.
• Players will be able to fully explore the land of Palmen at their own leisure. The game will be open-world and the main quest but there is plenty to do in between. A more unique feature is that there will be over 40 houses to join, fight for, or betray. Each of these factions will have its own backstory, perks, and narratives. Also our very own Cas is in the game too.
