Slamjax Games released a new game called Heroes of Celtica and the version is 0.1.1. The game’s story is about Come to an ancient land for a fantasy adventure based on Celtic myth and legend! You are ‘the Scythian’, a hero of an immortal race of demi-gods known as the Tuatha De Danann. As the Scythian seemingly falls in the final great battle for Celtica, he awakens to find himself in an unfamiliar land of warring kingdoms and beautiful, fiery women. Trying to make sense of what has happened, he is pursued by a nameless evil for an ancient treasure he holds that no one remembers! In this brave new Celtica, will you raise your sword in the name of your people, or will you give into the shadowy impulses that dwell inside your heart? Based on the tales and characters of Irish and Welsh mythology, Heroes of Celtica is a story rich and choice based fantasy adventure. Play the Scythian (name selectable) through four interweaving storylines as either a heroic champion, a rougish bard, a scheming druid or a ruthless warlord!

Developer Notes:

STORY

Although the Scythian is an original character, the plot of Heroes of Celtica will cover Celtic tales from the Irish Mythological Cycle, the Ulster Cycle, the Fenian Cycle and also the Four Branches of the Welsh Mabinogi. However, if you have no knowledge of any of these ancient Celtic tales, it won’t make any difference, as the game does not assume the player has any prior knowledge. Do not expect any forest pixies or little men with green hats – these are the ancient legends that are filled with duels, cattle raids, feasting, druids, bards and gods. Recorded mainly by Irish monks in the high middle ages, they are based on much older bardic sources dated to at least 700 AD and are set in a fictional Irish golden age from about 100 BC to 300 AD.

GAMEPLAY

The gameplay is a visual novel where the main story is progressed solely by making choices. There is no sandbox elements or mini-games. Choices will direct the hero down different story paths, build relationships with different characters, trigger plot flags and/or tally points for future use. The game offers four independent storyline adventures within the fantasy world of Celtica. Depending on the choices you make in the prologue, you can play the Scythian in the main game as one of four archetypes:

1) Champion – heroic warrior that can romance selected female characters.
2) Bard – rougish anti-hero interested in lewd companions.
3) Druid – a lustful schemer seeking to establish a lair with villainous brides.
4) Warlord – principled but ruthless conqueror that forms a harem.

GRAPHICS

The 3D images in the game are made on an old rendering engine and lean more to an illustrative style than a photo-realistic one. There are occasional looping animations in the game to add a little visual interest to selected scenes, but this is not a central feature. Includes a replay gallery.

SOUND

Fantasy sound effects and music are present. The music has been selected to set the mood and atmosphere of the game and heavily feature instruments such as the harp, flutes, bagpipes and bodhran drums to invoke feelings of the Gaelic culture of Ireland and Scotland.
