Setting



As he looks out over the smoking ruins of the city of Rome, the Gaulish chieftain Brennos realizes that he has changed history in some unforeseen way. The young kingdom of the Romans will never rise to power. The magical runes to which Brennos owes his triumph clearly hold a strange and unpredictable power.

With his new sorcery Brennos builds an empire of Celtic and Germanic tribes that stretches across the continent. But it isn't long before the runes are abused by warlords fighting for power. The empire soon proves unstable and falls into chaos. The world is scarred by their constant conflict. To prevent further disaster, the druids ritualize rune combat and restrict it to sacred arenas.

You are a young druid, dreaming of glory and power. Can you best the other druids and assume the throne?

What Steam players say

✦ AI summary

Runes of Brennos receives mixed feedback from players. Some appreciate the atmospheric world-building, magic system, and strategic gameplay, while others find the swipe mechanics awkward and the overall difficulty too easy to be engaging. Players generally view it as an acceptable casual experience worth trying during a sale, though it may not hold interest for those seeking challenging gameplay.

Not recommended Jan 17, 2022
The swipe mechanic completely ruined this for me, felt like it was trying to be a mobile game without actually being a port from a mobile game. Everything else about the game is too easy and simple to interest me so hard pass on this one!

«Runes of Brennos» — атмосферная RPG с глубокой магической системой и уникальным геймплеем. Игра предлагает увлекательные квесты, динамичные бои и богатую вселенную. Особенно впечатляет использование рун и сочетание магии с тактикой. Однако сложность баланса и частые технические сбобы могут отпугнуть новичков. Графика и музыка создают погружающую атмосферу, но для полного погружения стоит пройти обучение. Рекомендую тем, кто ценит стратегию и исследование мира.

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
