Datadyne is excited to announce the now-live Kickstarter Campaign for Forge of the Fae, a captivating Celtic-inspired pixel art JRPG. Set in a world reminiscent of 1800s Ireland, Forge of the Fae invites players to explore a rich narrative, solve intricate puzzles, and engage in strategic turn-based combat. Featuring a blend of steampunk technology, ancient magic, and human-fae conflict, the game promises a deep, immersive experience where player choices impact the fate of two intertwined worlds.
Set in a world inspired by 1800s Ireland, Forge of the Fae plunges players into a beautifully crafted narrative where humans and fae are in conflict. As an ancient power awakens and tensions rise, players will follow the journey of Fiora, a young inventor, as she uncovers the secrets of her world while navigating a complex mystery and discovering who she can become. Decisions made will influence the outcome, giving players control over the story’s direction and creating a more personal experience.
Drawing inspiration from classic JRPGs, Forge of the Fae features a deep turn-based combat system where strategy reigns supreme. Players will be challenged to master the “ARC Crystal System” and “Adrenaline” systems, which offer versatile, customizable spells and abilities, adding depth and excitement to combat. Alongside the action, intricate puzzles scattered throughout the world encourage exploration and reward players with powerful items and hidden lore.
One of the standout features of Forge of the Fae is its living world. Day and night cycles, dynamic weather systems, and NPCs with their own schedules add depth, making the game world feel alive. Players will encounter environments that shift as they progress, from peaceful towns during the day to dangerous wilds teeming with hostile creatures at night. Additionally, side quests and exploration opportunities expand the story, offering meaningful and challenging rewards to players.
Launching on September 23, 2024, Forge of the Fae offers Kickstarter backers exclusive rewards. Beyond a 30% early discount, higher tiers feature Creator Bundles, giving backers the opportunity to interact directly with the development team to design NPCs, enemies, and in-game elements such as Fae Whispers and Wandering Spirits, leaving a personal mark on the game. Top-tier backers can also unlock a Kickstarter-exclusive physical art book. Stretch goals include mini-games, unique navigation systems, additional ultimate abilities, and extended language support, enriching the game world and offering more content for players to explore.
