Blossom Tales The Sleeping King Announced
Munich, Germany - October 19th, in the year of our
Lord 2016 - Independent developer Castle Pixel and
Publisher FDG Entertainment today announced that Blossom Tales:
The Sleeping King will launch in Q1 2017 for PC via Steam.
Blossom Tales: The Sleeping King is a top-down, pixel art action
adventure game that wears its influences on its sleeve and keeps
its tongue firmly in cheek while also introducing modern
elements, particularly in its art, music and gameplay.
“With Blossom Tales: The Sleeping King, our mission was to make
the game we want to play. We are HUGE Zelda fans and
particularly love the 2D, top-down games on the SNES and
Nintendo handhelds,” said Philipp Döschl, of FDG Entertainment.
“We also wanted to streamline and modernise certain aspects to
fit in with our tastes and the expectations gamers have today.
Our goal was to make a game the way we remember playing it, not
how it actually was! If you like top-down action RPGs with a bit
of challenge, we think you’ll dig Blossom Tales!”
Blossom Tales: The Sleeping King is a delightful mix of
well-crafted retro pixel art with a modern twist and action
oriented gameplay, drawing you into the world of the Kingdom of
Blossom! Experience a fantastic tale passed down from
grandfather to grandchildren and be part of the vivid narration
by influencing the course of events yourself! Play as the
heroine of the story, Lily, Knight of the Rose, as she quests
throughout the Kingdom of Blossom to save it from eternal
darkness and awake the King from his spell-induced slumber!
Featuring over 15 hours of gameplay, a free-roaming overworld
full of secrets to discover, items to aid combat and
puzzle-solving, four tough dungeons and a fun, but more
importantly, funny story - Blossom Tales: The Sleeping King is a
love letter to the action adventure games of old, but made for
the gamers of today.
