Trulon The Shadow Engine Release Date
February 19, in the year of our Lord 2016 --
Headup Games announces a new partnership with Lillbacka Powerco
Oy and Kyy Games for the imminent Steam release of ‘Trulon: The
Shadow Engine’. The unique RPG is based in the beautiful
steampunk fantasy world of Trulon, inspired by the novel from
the game’s author Johan Lillbacka and award winning American
writer Jak Koke.
To feature a great variety in its battles and deepen the
strategy, ‘Trulon: The Shadow Engine’ comes with 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 that make both RPG veterans
and new players feel immediately at home.
‘Trulon: The Shadow Engine’ features a deep story due to
multi-faceted characters instead of good and evil separation
like in many other RPGs. The players will control four different
characters, led by the enchanting Gladia. 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 many different monsters and exciting steampunk machines.
First sketches of the game world already showed up in 2007,
before 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.
To let the players enjoy the atmospheric music of the game, the
soundtrack will be included as a free download as well.
