About Trulon: The Shadow Engine
Enter a world of steampunk and magic by experiencing the debut title of the Trulon series. The adventure RPG is based on a new novel from Jak Koke, an award-winning author who is known from the best-selling Shadowrun trilogy, The Dragon Heart Saga.
Featuring a unique card combat system that combines traditional deck management with random elements, the tactics are intuitively activated using over 50 cards in an easy to play way. This makes both RPG veterans and new players feel immediately at home.
Unravel the threads of an insidious plot and meet many multi-faceted characters. Led by the enchanting Gladia, you take control of four characters with different abilities each. They team up to adventure through the Trulon Universe where a mysterious disease has spread through the kingdoms of Tripudia and Maelon. Using magical tactics, they try to survive the action packed battles against enemies mutated by magic and exciting steampunk machines.
To let you enjoy the atmospheric music of the game beyond the game, its soundtrack will be included as a free download.
FEATURES
First sketches of the game world already showed up in 2007, before game designer Johan Lillbacka got in touch with Jak Koke for writing a novel placed in the Trulon universe. That novel, ‘Shadow Gears’, will be released in 2016 as well. After the universe was set, Johan developed the stories of different characters for his game. He always loved sci-fi and fantasy, so the result was a beautiful setting featuring a mix of steampunk and JRPG, with fantastic machines that run on magical energy.

A neat turn based story and fighting games, not rid of bugs but nothing gamebreaking. Tadbit short perhaps if you think 5 hours is short.3 found this helpful

Not sure if it gets better, but the gameplay is very shallow, enemies repetitive and the cards are boring.2 found this helpful
Its fun

It places players in the role of Gladia, a young monster hunter drawn into a conflict that intertwines fantasy, mystery, and steampunk technology. From its very first scenes, the game introduces a world that feels both familiar and distinctive—a setting where arcane energy and mechanical contraptions coexist uneasily, hinting at a civilization caught between nature and machinery. The visual style immediately reflects this duality, with vibrant hand-drawn backdrops and softly colored environments that evoke the spirit of 16-bit era adventure games, while presenting a tone that feels modern in its crispness and accessibility. The narrative, though straightforward, provides a comfortable framework for exploration and adventure. Gladia’s quest begins with the emergence of a strange disease spreading through her homeland, a mysterious plague that hints at something deeper than mere infection.
