You drag yourself from the black tides, across the corpses of drowned men, and onto the unwelcoming, craggy shoreline. Gulls cry overhead and the stink of seaweed fills your nose. By some miracle you have made it to Idra. It will take all your skill to survive and unravel the eldritch mysteries of the Black Priory
SKALD: Against the Black Priory is inspired by roleplaying games of yesteryear, combining modern design and compelling storytelling with authentic 8-bit looks and charms.
Delve into a dark fantasy world, full of deadly creatures, tragic heroes, and lovecraftian horror for an epic retro-style adventure rich in exploration and tactical, turn-based combat.
Do you have what it takes to lead a company of broken heroes from the tainted shores of Idra to the gates of the Black Priory - and beyond?
Gather your party
Lead a band of broken heroes through challenging turn-based combat scenarios as you cleave, blast or stealth your way through deadly enemies of all definitions. Equip your heroes using a modern inventory system, fulfil objectives through quest logs, read journals to discover hidden secrets. And if the action is still a bit too hot to handle, auto-resolve to bypass conflict entirely.
Prepare thyself
Set yourself up for the journey ahead by crafting and cooking from a slew of distinct recipes Choose your character, select their stats and build out a party from a series of diverse allies, each with their own skill-set, agenda and personality. Decide between a dozen classes and varied backgrounds, levelling up to 20 while customising your spells and equipment to suit your style.
Venture Forth
Set in an unforgiving world with lovecraftian horrors and choice-based dialogue, your story will take many unexpected twists and turns. Living life as a mercenary, you’ll need to roll the dice to determine whether you fall prey to certain peril or escape grave danger.
Celebrate Yesteryear
Uncover the grand schemes of the Gallian Empire and explore the vast expanse of Freymark and the Outer Isles. In SKALD: Against the Black Priory, you’ll experience this richly illustrated world of authentic pixel art, built from thousands of hand-drawn tiles and images using a palette inspired by the legendary Commodore 64 computer. Optional CRT filter for true retro aficionados also included.

This game represents what we remember we felt when playing old Ultima, GoldBox, or SilverBox CRPG from the 80s and 90s.
It has deep lore, tons of sharply written dialogues, story, and descriptions, many dozen of hours of playtime, the crispest pixel art but without sacrificing modern improvements to the old systems.
Real time Lighting, special effects, WASD controls in addition to the mouse and shortcuts, in-game hyperlink with direct access and on-mouse over tool-tips.
From a size limited indie team comes one of the best incarnation of Neo Classics of RPG.
Truly, there rarely has been such a perfect incapsulation of modern and old-school RPG as valid, comprehensive, dedicated, deep, enjoyable, customizable, and FUN to play CRPG as SKALD.
THREE THUMBS UP OUT OF THREE!
I have been following this game for years. When the first demo came out I fealt alright about it, but it didn't really have that old school kick to it yet which had me worried. My goodness, this thing is hitting on all cylinders now. The art, the music, the grit. This would have been a hit way back in the day, and I hope it gets a nice indie following to say the least. Wonderful job!
SKALD is pixel-beautiful, dark in tone (which again fits its amazing pixel art), and… What has surprised me the most… so well written in its story dialogues and text pieces, which even have multiple choice! RPG Game mechanics and combat are also well done and matter.
Double Highly recommended.
This game just oozes character. This is not just a paint by number's Retro RPG rehash. Every aspect of this games comes of as carefully considered and polished.
I highly recommend this game.
I have all the original Ultima games because of the stories and characters but they are almost impossible to play nowadays thanks to the U.I being incredibly cryptic so it needs a manual open on your lap.
This game combines the charm of really excellent pixel art, the massive scale of a classic Ultima style game, and the sheer amount of stuff and options you can have when your graphics aren't all 3D photorealistic drains on processing power and the time of developers...BUT importantly, it doesn't shy away from quality of life improvements modern gamers have come to expect.
There's a tutorial! You can use common hot keys and a mouse. There's a button to make clear what you can interact with. There's drop down menus and descriptions if you hover over skills and objects.
This is how you do an homage. There was another game that tried for the FULL experience with none of the niceties of the modern age, but this game gets it that you can have the feel of the classics without making things as clunky as earlier games were out of necessity. The original developers of classic games probably would have been pleased to have sleeker interfaces and easier to parse numbers and actions. Sometimes you can bear reverence to the past without being stuck inside of it.
Now it would be awesome if they remade something like the Dark Sun games with this kind of interface...
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
