Wardens of Chaos is on Steam and you can WISHLIST IT HERE!
Wardens of Chaos is a new free roam blobber game being developed by Tape Drive Games. I found this game on Discord originally from videos the developer was posting in many different Might and Magic Discords. Originally it was grid based so I didn’t pay it too much attention, but then the developer announced they were changing it to free movement so now it has to be added to the list!
I reached out to the main developer who is working on the game and he graciously answered a few questions about the game.
Q: General overview of your game?
A: Wardens of Chaos, first person party based (action) RPG , inspired by old school games released in late 90s. Will have 12 outdoors, most with cities, quests, NPC’s, 2-3 dungeons in most locations. 9 Magic schools and martial disciplines (weapons, armor, skills).
Q: Any big inspirations for the game?
Might and Magic 6,7,8, some Wizardry 8
Q: Type of combat? turn based, realtime, strategy?
A: Wardens of Chaos is realtime game, but when you open spell/skill book, or inventory, game is paused, you can drink potions, and “activate” spell from book, it becomes active and discharged when you click. There is also quick panel , where you can drag/drop spells/skills (abilities) from spell book.
in areas without monster you can sleep, there are HP/MP restoration objects, like wells, statues…

A: Not very unique , but experience generates skill points which you assigning to various “schools” , there are maximum 5 tiers for magic schools .
