Hello and greetings from Eastern Europe, my name is ColdBeer and look what a cool looking
game I have found in a desolate places of Steam.
When I was creating my top 15 video about upcoming games like Baldur’s Gate and then
additional video with 5 more games like that, Waylanders never showed up in any comment
section, in any google search, it wasn’t even possible to find it on Steam by specifically
looking for Isometric RPG games - so, let’s be honest here - this game, at least few months
ago, was a total public relations failure and the monument for other creators of how
NOT to do things if you want your game to be known.
So when someone finally showed me this game, I immediately wrote to creators asking for
some playable demo or something I could share with you, my viewers, but you can guess the
answer...
[Crickets chirping] - there was none.
And I expected none - when your game’s PR department is hiding your game so hard, you
cannot expect a decent communication.
So, this is obviously not a paid review or something.
I just never give up with my ideas, so let me tell you what is this game all about.
This is a Baldur’s Gate and Dragon Age inspired RPG with, as you can obviously see, kinda
decent graphics.
The story is quite original.
The first meeting between the Celts and their gods went catastrophically wrong.
You found yourself near death- and untethered from time!
The land has been overtaken by magickal corruptions, and the kingdom, once peaceful, has splintered
into multiple factions warring for the throne.
The Celtic culture is a complex tapestry of different religions, cultures, mortal and
immortal human races, werewolves, druids, goblins, and monsters.
Will you support the immature yet rightful heir, or the pragmatic general?
Which one of those people can rely on you?
Well, to be fair, both choices sound really bad.
Basically you have to choose if you want to be ruled by an spontaneous emperor or a dictator.
Well, of course there are always fans of this kind of ruling.
[Lukashenko to Seagal: there, it’s very good]
Yeah.
Because you are somehow disconnected from the flowing time arrow, you discover that
you are able to travel between the Celtic and Medieval eras.
That actually sucks.
Because If I could time travel, I would definitely would want to see some dinosaurs and not smelly
dim druids, geez.
Or I would go to the future where replicators can instantly summon any beer you want, where
multipurpose robots looking like Jennifer Lawrence exist...
You know, for... research reasons [Crickets chirping]
But, alas, no fun times for you, just ancient Galicia and even more ancient Celtic land.
And, because things look pretty different in Galicia under Christianity than they did
under Celtic rule, you have so many questions!
Where are your immortal allies now?
What has become of the souls of your mortal friends?
And where is the best bar in town?
So, here you will get unique, party-based experience that time travels between two distinct
eras, interesting story with multiple endings, where choices made in one time period can
have a dire consequences in the other, and music by an Emmy award-winner, 3 times BAFTA
nominee and Fallout's main theme composer, Inon Zur.
Also 6 basic and 30 advanced classes, 5 playable races based on Celtic mythology and different
origins for your character.
And ah, there will be one thing that is very important to my girlfriend when she chooses
what to play - yes here you can experience romances with your characters and have a deep
conversations about past, love, loyalty and vodka.
I’m not sure about the last one, but anyway, this is probably the game worth of your attention.
Waylanders will be released this year, so waiting is almost over.
I know that it just started for the majority of you or didn’t at all, because there are
so many similar games incoming and another one is making almost no difference.
Well, it’s up to you, but I just added Waylanders to my wishlist.
And if developers are watching this video, come on, please send me something to play.
