Sword of Convallaria Announced For PC And Mobile

XD Games have announced a new tactical fantasy RPG is coming from their studio: Sword of Convallaria. The game is being developed for both mobile and PC gamers, two markets that typically don’t blend.

On the ancient continent of Rodinia exists the humble and peaceful town of Convallaria — or perhaps not so peaceful anymore, as the country it belongs to — Iria — is currently embroiled in conflict. You are leader of the Sword of Convallaria Mercenary Group, whose main goal is to diffuse tensions and restore peace to Iria. This won’t be easy (if it was there would be no game) — it requires forging equipment, researching technology, and forming alliances with various factions in Iria. Be careful to ally with the right people!

Lei Guo, lead developer of Sword of Convallaria, says the game was inspired by his love for oldschool turn-based RPGs and retro-style pixel art. The game so far features 300 maps and 1,000 stages with multiple endings for players to unlock, based on the choices you make. Guo suggests there will be more in the future.

There is no specified release day for Sword of Convallaria, but it will be arriving on the App Store, Google Play and Steam before the year is out.

XD Games is really taking a risk with Sword of Convallaria. A tactical fantasy RPG on both mobile and PC? I'm skeptical about how they'll balance that. The idea of diffusing tensions in a conflict-ridden land is intriguing, but it's a well-worn concept. With 1,000 stages, I'm concerned it might become repetitive. And while I appreciate the retro art style, I'm not sure it's enough to hold my interest.

Honestly, Sword of Convallaria doesn't catch my attention at all. I mean, it's 2023 and we're still dealing with non-3D games? I just can't get behind that. Games these days should be pushing for photorealistic experiences, not sticking with a look reminiscent of Final Fantasy V. It's disappointing to see a game not embracing the potential of modern technology and visuals. It's just not what I'm looking for in a game these days.

To the haters above, I disagree! Nostalgia Market is huge!

Sword of Convallaria sounds like a game with potential. Tactical fantasy RPG? Cool! But I'm a bit unsure about the mobile and PC combo – those are pretty different gaming experiences. The plot seems interesting with conflict and choices, but I'm curious if it'll stand out from similar games. 1,000 stages sounds like a lot, and I hope they manage to keep it cool throughout. The pixel art style is a nice nod to oldschool RPGs.

XD Games is trying something different with Sword of Convallaria, but a tactical fantasy RPG on both mobile and PC? That sounds like a recipe for compromises. The conflict backdrop and choices for multiple endings are intriguing, but 1,000 stages might be overkill. The pixel art is a nice throwback, but I'm concerned the gameplay might not live up to expectations on both platforms. I'll keep an eye out for reviews before giving it a shot.
