homage to ’80s and ’90s Classic RPGs….and I love it
What my eyes see is simply something delightful that embodies everything I’ve always loved about video games and has helped nurture and sustain my passion for gaming. It is a tribute to the ’80s and ’90s RPGs. No, I’m not exaggerating when I say that Lair Of The Leviathan is a game not to miss, especially for older RPG enthusiasts like myself.
But what is Lair of the Leviathan? It is an adventure Turn-Based RPG by Nostalgic Realms that dives deep into classic turn-based combat and exploration. Set in a meticulously handcrafted pixellated open world, this game shuns procedural generation for a more deliberate and nostalgic gaming experience. Players can anticipate a blend of challenging tactical combat and rich RPG mechanics, where a variety of abilities and strategies must be masterfully combined to advance.
The game’s narrative and progression are non-linear, allowing players to explore at their own pace and tackle a variety of quests and dungeons that grow in complexity as the story unfolds. Each character in the player’s party is customizable and equipped with unique abilities and backstories, which evolve as players upgrade their gear and unlock new combat traits.
Lair of the Leviathan aims to offer a robust, evolving world filled with NPCs, quests, and an array of enemies, promising a richly layered adventure that appeals to fans of strategic RPGs and indie adventures alike. Below is an overview of the game via Steam, screens, and trailer.
