What is Archaelund?
In this open-world fantasy RPG, you explore in first person with a party, talk to people, take quests, and search dungeons across kingdoms founded by refugees after a magical cataclysm destroyed their empire. Battles switch to a top-down grid, where you direct the party in turn-based combat.
For you if...
- +you enjoy exploring without much guidance
- +you like planning party builds and changing careers
- +you enjoy tactical, turn-based fights
Not for you if...
- −you want real-time combat instead of turn-based battles
- −you prefer one protagonist over managing a party
- −you want an easygoing RPG with forgiving fights
What players say
84% of 423 reviews are positive
Players praise the exploration, character progression, and tactical combat. Some complain that fights are too difficult, hit chances and skill checks feel unreliable, and Early Access leaves some quests unfinished or buggy.
