Kentron Games announced Rallying Call is launching on Steam in 2027. This upcoming roguelike strategy game features tactical depth and strategy and combines with card-based army building. This mix is then placed in a fantasy world setting.
As part of this reveal, the studio has released a dedicated announcement trailer that gives players a peek on what they can expect from the game. Watch the trailer here.
Taking Down a God
Rallying Call is a game that's inspired by Heroes of Might & Magic and Gwent. It has players explore a procedurally generated world, recruit powerful creatures, master devastating spells, and assemble an army that can take down a Demonic God.
Building an army though is merely the beginning. In order to achieve victory, players need to learn just how their band of creatures and heroes can work together. This is because there's the possibility of coming up with powerful synergies that's sure to turn the tide of battle. Combat is made through a deep turn-based system where every creature brings its own abilities to the battlefield. It's important to consider the positioning and the order of actions since it can make the difference between victory and defeat. Meanwhile, magic and arcane artifacts give additional ways to overcome enemies.
Chart their Own Path
It's not all about combat though since the game also challenges players to chart their own course through an ever-changing world. Once the fog of war lifts for example, they can choose which routes to explore and which one of the opportunities available they want to pursue. While dangerous paths do offer unique rewards, taking unnecessary risks could lead the army to be weakened before the next encounter.
There are more than 15 heroes to choose from and each one has the ability to fundamentally change the strategy of players. There are also six mythology-inspired factions along with more than 120 creatures with unique abilities. Players can experiment with increasingly complex combinations and prove their skills as a commander.
Talking about the game being showcased to the world for the first time, the development team shared in a statement they remain nervous. According to the team, they feel as if the game isn’t ready and that there’s always that “one more thing to polish.” However, they didn’t want to keep waiting and “looking forward” to receiving feedback from the players and the community.
