Kyn

Kyn for PC and PS4 is a tactical action RPG taking place in a light-hearted fantasy universe. It’s the debut commercial project of Tangrin Entertainment, a Danish development studio.

Plot

The action takes place in a universe where any mention of magic meets with fear and dread – only the most respected and talented warriors receive permission to use it. The story begins with rumors that a group of villains received access to powerful spells, and are using them to further their wicked cause. Kyn is a singleplayer-only title, with no multiplayer module present.

Mechanics

During the game, we lead a party composed of up to six heroes. The mainstay of the gameplay is combat, so the developers spend a lot of time to add a lot of tactical depth to each encounter. Our warriors are equipped with a number of unique abilities and talents, while the key role is played by environment, as the maps are full of obstacles and traps. Additionally, the heroes’ abilities had been designed so that elements present in each location can be used to make the chosen skill more powerful. The authors have prepared a wide range of interesting enemies with different abilities and AI modules, so that players have to make certain adjustments to their tactics with each encounter.

The heroes are built on three attributes. Body is responsible for melee combat, Control for mobility and the ability to make various traps, while the third attribute – Mind – influences magic abilities and enables learning new spells, including abilities allowing summoning allies, such as zombies or valkyries. A crafting system was also introduced, in which we use hundreds of resources to build new items. Additionally, the campaign is complemented by logical riddles.
