The story follows Falconet, a young bogatyr who was born without a hero's powers. He has spent his life not only being shunned but also underestimated by almost everyone around him. That hasn't stopped Falconet from dreaming of following in his father's footsteps, who was once a fabled bogatyr. However, while doing what could have been a simple task, Falconet suddenly finds himself meeting his death in the dark and mysterious Far Far Kingdom.
For some reason, the young hero has been unexpectedly revived by a mysterious spirit with which he now has to share his body. This results in Falconet facing three difficult tasks which are reclaiming control over his soul, uncovering an ancient mystery surrounding his new companion, and saving the world from imminent doom.
Good vs Evil
Initially, the world of Bylina reveals may seem to be the place where there has been an eternal struggle between good and evil. However, things are not as obvious and clear-cut as it seems. That’s because the inhabitants of the world experience complex inner lives filled with their fears, anxieties, hatred, and scars. All of these are the result of past trials that have shaped them into who they are today. This means that Falconet not only has to face legions of powerful foes in combat but also the emotions, feelings and struggles that make a true human soul.
There’s no doubt the story looks to be good especially with a deep narrative that’s rooted in Slvic folklore and legends. Bylina isn’t just that though. It’s also an action RPG that puts heavy focus on skill-based combat. Wishlist the game on Steam now.
