Release Date: September 9, 2019
Explore a fresh new world as you set foot - alongside many other settlers, mercenaries and treasure hunters - on a remote island seeping with magic, rumored to be filled with riches and lost secrets. GreedFall aims for a very unique visual identity, inspired by Baroque art from 17th Century Europe, depicting grandiose sceneries in muted warm colors and dark undertones. A grand journey filled with mystery follows, as you find yourself in the middle of ever-increasing tensions between the invading settlers and the locals, protected by supernatural beings, manifestation of the island's earthly magic. With a strong focus on its core RPG identity, GreedFall follows Spiders’ experience in building intricate worlds filled with mysteries to discover, weaving deep character interactions, and offering players great freedom to achieve quests and objectives in a multitude of different ways – through combat of course, but also through diplomacy, deception or stealth.

I’ve never played a Spiders game before. People always say they’re “rough around the edges” or use the term “Euro-jank” to describe them. These games tend to fulfill that B-level game that seems to be so elusive these days (outside of Japan that is, thanks CJ!). Ideally, though, every project by a team gets better, right? Learning from what has and hasn’t worked and improving skill sets across the board are natural occurrences over time.

GreedFall’s epic, morally complex tale of exploration and swashbuckling is enjoyable just about every step of the way.

Greedfall borrows core mechanics and features from some of gamings legendary RPGs and blends them across the backdrop of fantasy colonialism to craft an experience unlike any other so far, but is that a good thing?
