Here's some interesting news for fans of the tactical strategy and dark fantasy genres.

Kingsbloo, an upcoming game that features autochess and RPG mechanics, is heading to PC devices. German indie studio Icy Forge has revealed more details about Kingsblood, their first gaming project. In a press release, they announced they would launch the tactical RPG title on June 21.

Players can get the game for US14.99$. They added that those who purchase it during launch week could avail of a limited-time 15% discount.

According to Icy Forge's three-member team, their love for tabletop RPGs propelled them to create Kingsblood.

The fun we had playing tabletop RPGs and being a game master in a variety of games fueled Kingsblood's creation, said co-developer Andreas Solti.

Step into a dark fantasy realm in the world of "Rebellion's Path." As the leader of a formidable guild, players rise against a ruthless king and his corrupt noblemen in an epic "fully voiced campaign." The game employs a combination of autochess and tactical RPG elements. Players must unlock, recruit, and train 50 characters as they battle against a "tyrannical monarchy in a grimdark world of political intrigue and injustice."

In addition to its strategic combat, Kingsblood also features dungeon-crawling and craft-building features. Players can fight enemies in auto-simulated combat and loot for treasure lurking in creepy caves. They can also build and expand their guild hall, allowing them to recruit new members, train their existing members, and store their treasures.

Kingsblood is Icy Forge's first major title. While the indie studio has disclosed that it does not boast "high-end" visuals and multi-player options, they have urged players to give it a try.

Our goal was to create a rich world full of gimmicks to explore. If you like the popular auto battler genre, and are a fan of classical RPGs, you should give it a try! said Daniel Nasseh, CEO of Icy Forge.
