New CRPG Is the Ultima & Planescape Revival Fans Dreamed Of

Knights of Frontier Valley is a classic-style role-playing game. It’s a mix of roguelike adventure and old-school RPG fun. The game is inspired by Dungeons & Dragons and games made by Sid Meier. It was made using a special game engine built just for it giving it a real old-school feel.

There’s something very special and nostalgic about playing old-school CRPGs (classic computer role-playing games). They remind many people of the good old days of gaming. A new game called Knights of Frontier Valley made by Adamant Studios is trying to bring back that same feeling. This game is a roguelike RPG which means it mixes role-playing with challenging random gameplay. The developer is working very hard to make sure the game feels just like the classic RPGs from the past.

When you look at the game’s graphics it might remind you of famous titles like Planescape Torment Ultima or the original Baldur’s Gate. What’s even more impressive is that the whole game is being made by just one person And instead of using a pre-made game engine (which most developers use today) this developer is building a brand-new engine completely from scratch.

The game Knights of Frontier Valley is heavily inspired by the CRPGs from the 1980s and 1990s. These were the games that had deep systems lots of choices and custom-made worlds things that made games like Fallout and Daggerfall unforgettable. The developer Martin Menzel wants his game to feel just as real and true to that time.

Martin says that he looks up to famous game developers like Richard Garriott, Peter Molyneux and Sid Meier. These legendary creators made their games from the ground up without relying on outside tools. That’s why Martin decided to follow the same path. He’s taking on the huge challenge of building the entire RPG engine by himself so that the game feels 100% authentic and original.

This game is a roguelike RPG that feels like an old classic. In the beginning you create your own adventurer. You get to pick their skills job and class to match the way you like to play. After that you enter a huge and ever-changing world. The world is made fresh every time you play so it’s different in every game. It also has real day and night cycles, changing weather, moon phases, different seasons and towns where every person has their own daily routine.

There are no helpful map markers so you have to figure out where to go on your own. You make your own path in the game just like a true adventurer.

But don’t think it’s going to be an easy or happy journey. The wild is full of danger. You’ll have to fight to stay alive using turn-based combat. You can either control the battles yourself or let the game’s auto-battle system do it for you. Besides fighting enemies you also have to deal with tricky politics between different groups and take care of your adventurer by feeding them giving them water, and letting them rest.

The most exciting part? This game is meant to be played many times. Because the world changes every time each playthrough gives you new maps, characters, items, stories and relationships. That means no two games will ever feel the same.

The game is called Knights of Frontier Valley and it sounds like the perfect old-school adventure for RPG fans. It even has help from Rob Kuntz one of the original creators of Dungeons & Dragons. Right now there’s no release date but you can already add it to your wishlist and follow the updates. We’re really excited to try it out.
