An epic tale inspired by Celtic mythology
The first meeting between the Celtic people and their gods — the Dhanu gods — should have been a time of celebration and inspiration, but when negotiations go disastrously wrong, a war between man and god drives you to the brink of death, and out of time!
Return to a land tainted by corrupted magic, to a kingdom divided by several factions eyeing the throne. Celtic society is a complex tapestry of interwoven religions, human cultures, and races of mortals and immortals such as Morians, werewolves, goblins, and beasts that threaten to tear apart every rift. Will you support the immature but legitimate heir to the throne, or the pragmatic general? What kind of alliances do you want to make, what kind of friendships do you want to cultivate, what kind of romance do you want to pursue… And, what will you do when you suddenly break into medieval Spain?
Explore two eras
Things look very different in Galicia under Christian rule than they did under Celtic rule. Magic is fading, religion is everywhere, and a lot has changed. Where are your immortal allies today and what has become of the souls of your human friends? Discover how this land has changed over a thousand years of cultural change. Did the corrupting magic that prevented you from meeting the Dhanu gods lead to the destruction of all that the Celtic world holds dear?
Gather your party
Drawing inspiration from traditional role-playing games, The Waylanders opens up a world of much-needed adventure for you and your companions to explore. Use the real-time pause feature to strategically choose your party members’ combat spells and skills to defeat roaming bandits, rampaging beasts, legendary monsters, and many more enemies!
Explore a world of treasures filled with weapons, armor, trinkets and various props to arm your team and smoothly navigate through the adventure. Facing the heavy resistance of the gods, you must fight for every possible advantage.
Companion Formation Makes All the Difference
The companions you embark on your journey with will make a huge difference in how you defeat your enemies. Different combinations of professions offer a wide variety of formation options, each with powerful attack and defense skills. As you level up, unlock new professions and explore with dedication, you’ll discover new formations and formation techniques to choose from.
