RPG Gamers summaryThe Hand of Merlin is a turn-based rogue-lite RPG set in a richly-imagined medieval world on the brink of apocalypse. Recruit a company of up to three mortal heroes and guide them in spirit on a desperate journey from Albion to Jerusalem. Explore the world, trade with merchants, improve your heroes and unearth ancient relics. Search for the lost fragments of your soul scattered across the multiverse and save as many worlds as you can. Enjoy a compelling story inspired by Arthurian legend, the Matter of France, and the history of Al-Andalus with an unusual twist. Make choices in interactive encounters that change every time you play. Master the tactics of squad-based and turn-based combat to conquer both human and demonic foes. Carve a path across the lands of Albion, Marca Hispanica and Al-Andalus. Use Renown to level up your Heroes and choose between a randomized set of new skills or improved attributes. Seek out towns to improve your arms and armor, or stumble upon hermit artisans in the wild. Rain thunder and brimstone upon your foes and seek out and gather Soulstones to restore your power and unlock new Spells. There are as many worlds as there are stars in the sky. In each stands Camelot; in each there is a Grail. But there is only one Merlin, and his eternal burden is to stand against the horror from beyond.
