After five long years, indie developer Gato Salvaje Studio has finally released their much-awaited fantasy RPG The Waylanders on Steam and GOG. Heavily inspired by Celtic folklore, The Waylanders is a journey set across two eras—a time of myth and gods, and mankind’s domination over magic. Join a cast of colorful companions in battle, travel together, and maybe even get a little bit of romance in!
Building on classic real-time-with-pause fantasy RPGs, The Waylanders adds new Formation abilities to the genre which give special powers based on party makeup. Spear formations do extra damage and can be used to control narrow paths, the wall of shields makes for a powerful counter against ranged enemies, and many more magical transformations can be unlocked including the devastating Earth Elemental and Spirit Tower combinations.
“The Waylanders is a project we’ve been working on for the last five years and I am so incredibly proud of what the team has created. This is a story born of our Galician roots and many of the tales of our heritage have inspired elements throughout,” said Gato Salvaje co-founder Fernando Prieto.
The game has a star-studded cast of voice actors, including Amber Rose Revah (The Punisher, Son of God), Simon Templeman (Dragon Age series, Mass Effect series, Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain), Ralph Ineson (The Green Knight, The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance), Ash Sroka (Mass Effect series, Ar-k series, Blood+) and many more.
Regularly priced at $39.99 USD, The Waylanders can be played in English, French, German, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Russian, and the Gato team’s native Galician.
