1C Company, a global PC and console games publisher, today announced it has launched the turn-based tactical RPG, Fell Seal: Arbiter’s Mark, for PC via Steam Early Access. The isometric, story-driven RPG, which is scheduled for a full launch on PC, PlayStation®4, and Xbox One in Spring 2019, blends influences from strategy RPG classics with a modern eye for ways to enhance the experience. The game will be presented at Gamescom 2018 in the 1C booth following its Early Access release. The goal of the Early Access campaign is to gather player feedback while further honing the gameplay toward the game’s full, multi-platform launch.
“Fell Seal: Arbiter’s Mark invites players to experience the classic era of tactical RPGs, but with new twists that update the gameplay for the modern age,” said Nikolay Baryshnikov, VP of 1C Company. “The team at 6 Eyes Studio has a strong vision fueled by a love of the genre, and the game unveils an epic story with challenging tactical combat and lovely visuals for RPG fans to enjoy.”
Fell Seal: Arbiter’s Mark is a story-driven, turn-based tactical RPG set in a fantasy world with a touch of steampunk. Players will control the Arbiter Kyrie, an agent of the Immortal Council, tasked with preserving stability and order throughout the land, as well as a squad of companions. Paying homage to tactical RPG classics, the game stands on its own as a worthy successor, bringing a slew of improvements and additions to the tactics genre.
The game focuses on storytelling and strategic battles, with a mature storyline. After an ancient evil rent the world asunder, the Immortals formed a council to prevent such destruction from ever occurring again. But, the Immortals are few and it falls to their mortal agents, the Arbiters, to guard the land. But as one Arbiter uncovers deepening corruption pervading her own order, it falls to her to halt the spread of a new and dire threat. Throughout this storyline, players will progress through hand-crafted scenarios, controlling their own group of Arbiters, with each character customizable from a wide selection of 20 classes and over 200 abilities.
