Features

Party Based Gameplay

Aeolwyn’s Legacy is a throwback to the Party-based Role Playing Games of old! Instead of playing one all-powerful character you’ve got a party of 4 characters who are under your full control to customize and develop as you choose!

Exploration

There’s a large open world at your doorstep. Explore the world and find strange monsters and hidden locations. There will be plenty of secrets to uncover!

Explore the wilderness and investigate dark dungeons and abandon temples.

Adventure

Talk to NPCs. Take on quests large and small. Join factions and fight your enemies!

Epic Story

Play an epic, multi-branching story where choices you make may affect your future in Laryndor. Just because you are friendly with one faction doesn’t mean that all the other groups in Laryndor appreciate you meddling in their plans! Meddle too far and they may take action against you!

Combat

Fight powerful monsters and loot their treasure! Choose between real time combat to slay your foes, or if you prefer to think more strategically about your battles, switch to turn-based and outsmart your enemies. You can switch between the two any time you want.

Develop Characters

There’s tons of skills to learn, including martial skills, magic skills, and plenty more to help you in your quests!

You have four characters to customize any way you want. Do you want to face the world with four soldiers? Do it! Do you prefer magical attacks? Go ahead! In Aeolwyn’s Legacy there are tons of character choices, each with 2 levels of promotions to get even more powerful.

Regular Updates

We are using Unity.
Will Aeolwyn’s Legacy support modding?

We would like to, but, due to licensing restrictions on some of the components, there won’t be any official editors. But the game is written in Unity, so we may include a method to add your own levels and link them together.
