Our take on Haldor
Rather than presenting an expansive world or a long-form party narrative, the game concentrates its RPG structure in a dark dungeon. Its genre departure comes from pairing revenge-driven Scandinavian imagery with traps, labyrinths, changing weather and direct confrontations.
What is Haldor?
Haldor is a souls-like RPG about an ancient Scandinavian warrior pursuing revenge for his people.
The game sends the warrior into a dark dungeon filled with enemies, traps, labyrinths, rewards and sinister bosses. Combat includes varied weapons for both the player character and opponents. The environment changes through different times of day and weather conditions. The game also features artificial intelligence for its opponents and a soundtrack accompanying the journey.
