What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Glorious Companions is a project that we've spent years building and designing. It has gone through a lot of different iterations and after so many years we're eager to know what you think about the project. With the scope of the game your feedback will be crucial to nail the balance of the combat, adjust the AI and iron out all the kinks.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to keep the game in Early Access for as long as we need to get the game to a state that we feel is full-release worthy (current estimate is June 2021). Along the way we'll be adding new mechanics and content along with polishing existing features with frequent updates. During this time we'll try to make most of the updates add new stuff to the world in your current play-through but some changes may require starting a new story to see them.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“In the full version we plan to have the following content and features:
  • An immersive storyline that'll have you decide the fate of the whole continent
  • Neutral groups
  • Over 50 spells and special abilities
  • Challenging Dungeon system
  • 5 Dungeons, with at least 2 dedicated defenders and a tough boss per dungeon (all with special abilities of their own)
  • Cities visual overhaul along with a new UI
  • Giant overhaul of the World Map looks
  • Custom soundtrack accompanying the new World Map

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“At the moment we already have:
  • Two playable races - Valrenay and Scarres with 5 unit archetypes and 4 customizable player character classes per race.
  • Almost complete battle mechanics with stuff like flanking, special abilities, etc.
  • Recruiting new companions, training them, leaving them in special facilities where they can learn new skills.
  • 25 weapons where each is viable in certain situations.
  • 20 various armor pieces to customize your companion’s look.
  • Procedurally generated World Map with its cities, inhabitants and political setup.
  • Special world map interactive objects that can yield a great reward, however at a substantial risk.
  • Quests
  • Overarching Goals
  • Custom Battle mode
  • Local and Online multiplayer mode

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The game's price will most likely increase after the full launch. Adventurers that decide to join us early on in the quest will be able to buy Glorious Companions cheaper and have impact on the game's final state.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“The community's feedback will be invaluable to us during the development process. Glorious Companions features a lot of different combat mechanics, items, abilities and units and by rolling out all the features gradually we'll be able to fine tune it using community discussions. We'll keep you in the loop by posting frequent devlogs where you might find a poll or two to directly help us if needed.”

About This Game

Get a taste of the upcoming 1.0 re-launch of Glorious Companions by playing our newly released New Era Demo and wishlist the game now!

Glorious Companions is a turn-based tactical RPG set in the rich, open world of Navaroth. Lead a group of battle-proven companions through an epic quest to collect all the vault crystals and end Xandar’s Wrath. Play either of the two campaigns or venture into point-limited, wargaming inspired PvP battles in both Online and Local Multiplayer. Command the disciplined and versatile Steam-wielding Valrenay or unleash the fury of the Scarres, a vengeful race of fierce red lizardfolk.

The land of Terscara has fallen into a peaceful coexistence as the 300 year old war between Scarres and Valrenay has ceased to an end. The Scarres seemingly accepted their role as second rate inhabitants of Terscara. Or at least that’s what they want the humans to think. In truth they trust in a prophecy, which promises a coming of a powerful Blood Chieftain, who will help them triumph against the humans.

However, recently a new threat emerged on the horizon. The giant statues called Naalans started rumbling as if they were awakening. More and more folk started reporting weird events happening around the giants. Some even say that they’ve seen the Naalans tilting their heads slightly. In the face of the unveiling crisis, the King of Valrenay decided to call in all brave enough to discover the underlying root of the issue and solve it once and for all.

Recruit new troops to your battlecrew, train and equip them to prepare for the varied encounters awaiting you in Terscara. Choose from different mercenary classes from the two available factions and explore their potentials and unique battle abilities that they possess.

Buy brand new weapons and armor from city-dwelling merchants or hunt specific enemies to loot equipment from their dead bodies. Find perfect combinations for each of your trusty warriors by exploring different skill branches and level up choices. Every companion will bring different strengths outside battle too, be it when setting up camps or dealing with different Points of Interest.

As your companions get better, you’ll be facing a plethora of different threats across the island of Terscara. Starting from the regular bandits and animal enemies, soon you’ll end up diving into the ancient vaults that serve to protect the Crystals of Creation. The time has come to use the Crystals to repair what they’ve caused.

Inside each vault you’ll find a series of rooms populated with unique and challenging enemies, ending up with the legendary boss encounters. Not only will the vault guardians introduce unique battle tactics for you to overcome, they will also provide unique loot opportunities. Use their mythical artifacts to increase your group’s power.

The search for vaults will take you across the vast open world of Terscara, where you’ll encounter all kinds of Points of Interests, valuable resources and settlements. Journey across nine varied regions including icy tundras, misty swamps, scorching deserts, lush forests and The Fiery Volcano.

Visit the beautiful cities scattered across the Kingdom of Valrenay before venturing South to the lively yet dangerous towns of the Scarres Arcanate. On your way, you’ll encounter outposts, camps and mines featuring both opportunities and dangers for brave adventurers.

Forge your legacy in a world on the brink of chaos, where every decision, battle, and companion shapes the fate of Terscara.
