About Runeous: Part One

About
Runeous is a 2 part story. In this episode we introduce the characters and the main plot which will be concluded in part 2.
Each installment is free to play and serve as a beginning for our studio's future products.

This Episode contains roughly 20 minutes of game time.

Story
The story follows a small group of heroes in a world ravished by the wars of its past.
Runestones possessing magical qualities are what fuel the industry, their secrets long ago lost.
Humans research them to unlock their hidden potential.
Overpopulation in cities built for far fewer inhabitants. Homes built atop homes with giant walkways connecting the various levels together.

The world of Ceir'a faces a new threat. It is here that Leif, a young runic apprentice meets a Jacawi tribeswoman Eme. Together they must overcome the differences of their people and unite the factions to thwart the rising evil empire. Though not all is as it seems when the very fabric of nature begins to fall apart!

Characters
The story follows 4 main characters and various 'NPCs' who help the story along. Being a story of 2 parts, we will be introducing more plot essential characters in the second episode.

Игра Runeous: Part One оставляет после себя смешанные чувства. С одной стороны, визуальный стиль и атмосфера мира Runeous захватывают с первых минут. Художникам удалось создать по-настоящему мрачный и загадочный мир, полный тайн и опасностей. Сюжет, хоть и обрывается на самом интересном месте (что, в принципе, логично для "Part One"), интригует и заставляет с нетерпением ждать продолжения. Геймплейно игра представляет собой классическую RPG с прокачкой персонажа и исследованием локаций. Боевая система достаточно простая, но эффективная, а разнообразие врагов не дает заскучать. Тем не менее, есть и недостатки. Игра ощущается несколько "сырой". Баги и шероховатости иногда портят впечатление, а некоторые элементы интерфейса не до конца продуманы. Продолжительность игры также оставляет желать лучшего. Пройти Runeous: Part One можно довольно быстро, и концовка действительно обрывается слишком резко. В целом, Runeous: Part One – это многообещающее начало, которое, несмотря на недостатки, однозначно стоит внимания, особенно если вы любите мрачные RPG с интересным сюжетом. Ждем продолжения!
