Our take on Chronicles of Vaeltaja: In Search of the Great Wanderer
The likely sticking point is the unassisted dungeon progression: players who rely on tutorials or hand-holding may hit a wall when they must work through locks, traps and puzzles themselves. The turn-based combat is another potential pause for anyone expecting fights to unfold in real time.
What is Chronicles of Vaeltaja: In Search of the Great Wanderer?
Chronicles of Vaeltaja is a grid-based, first-person dungeon-crawling RPG set in the fantasy kingdom of Twin Falls.
Build a party of six from 11 character classes, equip its members, and develop their stats, skills and class-specific abilities. Battles are turn-based and use status effects that can alter their course. Exploration includes dungeons, puzzles, traps, locks and obstacles, while conversations with non-player characters can provide quests, rumours and hints. A main quest follows the search for the Great Wanderer, with side-quests offering experience, coins and equipment. The game also includes treasure hunting and materials gathering for crafting potions, weapons and armor. It has no forced tutorials or cinematic cutscenes, and its graphics and mechanics may change before release.
