Texas-based Passageway Games is about to release Passageway of the Ancients, its overhead dungeon crawler inspired by similar CRPGS of the past. Those who have enjoyed titles like Ultima, Eye of the Beholder and Neverwinter Nights should take a look at this one.
Passageway of the Ancients takes place on the planet of Aiertyon, where you and your party are mainly there to investigate a crime that personally affected you, but you’ll be up to a lot more than that. As you explore dark corridors and gather clues, you’ll have to slay the endless beasts that march your way, solve puzzles, pick locks and keep leveling up to face what’s next.
There’s a twist in the combat mechanics for Passageway of the Ancients, and it’s the fact that it’s both turn-based AND real-time. How is that possible? Because your character has a Persona-like familiar fighting for them — a “Dragonkindt” and during battle this figure comes out.
- Engage in Turn-Based & Real-Time Combat: Use both turn-based and real-time elements – drawing on real medieval weapons and tactics.
- Unleash Your Dragonkindt Nature: Develop your character’s two personas simultaneously – a hidden “Dragonkindt,” and a public-facing race of your choosing.
- Sharpen Your Wits & Make Strategic Choices: Manage battle spoils, solve puzzles, adjust the frequency of special activities, choose interactions, and gather clues.
- Wield Powerful Magical Items: Carefully equip items affecting intelligence, will, and other character attributes.
- Customize Your Character: Choose your character’s alternate persona, appearance, and gender as Dwarf, Elf or Human.
Look for Passageway of the Ancients this coming Wednesday, October 16, on Steam. The game’s price will be discounted 25% during its first week.
