Ctrl Alt Ninja Ltd. has released the very first teaser trailer for
Druidstone: The Secret of the Menhir Forest. While
Druidstone is Ctrl Alt Ninja's first game, it is designed by the makers of the critically acclaimed
Legend of Grimrock series, two 3D grid-based, first-person, real-time dungeon crawlers, based on the 1987 game
Dungeon Master, that were well received by the gaming press and players.
According to Ctrl Alt Ninja Ltd.,
Druidstone: The Secret of the Menhir Forest is a tactical, single-player, turn-based roleplaying game, which combines the best qualities of modern RPGs with the elegance of tactical boardgames. In the upcoming RPG game, every action, every turn will count as you control your party of heroes through handcrafted, challenging missions with varying objectives.
The action of
Druidstone is set in a unique fantasy world filled with ancient, lush forests, standing stones, snow-topped mountains, deadly creatures and puzzle-ridden ruins. The story about love and death is centered around the main characters Leonhard, Aava and Oiko, who will along the way meet up with unexpected companions and villains, each with their unique personalities and abilities.
The druids of the Menhir Forest are troubled. Not only has the Archdruid disappeared, a darkness in the form of purple cysts has fallen upon the forest. It is up to Aava, the daughter of the Archdruid and her new-found companions Leonhard, a mysterious man with no past, and Oiko the mage, a dropout from the guild of Red Priests, to rescue the Archdruid and find out the truth behind the sinister events. As if this wasn't enough, a murderous maniac impersonating Leonhard is at loose in the forest....
Druidstone: The Secret of the Menhir Forest is coming to Steam next Spring.
