1428: Shadows over Silesia - Release Day

by Hiddenx, Tuesday - October 04, 2022 15:11

The Medieval RPG 1428: Shadows over Silesia will be released today:

1428: SHADOWS OVER SILESIA - Release trailer

Shadows over Silesia is a dark action adventure game with fantasy elements set in real medieval Europe. With true historical events in the background, you'll be facing intricate puzzles, challenging battles and cunning stealth. You will come across possessed devil worshipers, sexual demons, and beasts from hell, as well as creatures well-known from European mythology.

Dark fantasy story
Europe is in the middle of religious upheaval and many preachers predict that the end of the world is near. The year is 1428 and the Hussites have just set out on their Silesian campaign. These heretics appear to be the biggest threat in the kingless country. But true evil of a completely different kind is lurking nearby and it does not intend to engage in religious disputes.

You will experience everything from the point of view of the two main characters. Hynek, a grumpy Hussite hetman who doesn't hesitate to swear or mess around with anything, and Lothar, a Hospitaller knight, a man of good education and manners who stands alongside his brethren in the front line of the Silesian defense. Each has their own motivations and views of the world around them, and different equipment and abilities. Their fates will soon become intertwined. Will they face one another, weapon in hand, or forge a fragile alliance to stand shoulder to shoulder against a far worse enemy?

Challenging puzzles
The original puzzles you will come across on your dangerous journey will most definitely be tough. Classic adventure games of the 1990s were a big inspiration. You will have to take advantage of your surroundings, look for objects, obtain information, and solve puzzles or encoded messages. Some problems can be solved in multiple ways, or they can be cleverly worked around.

Sneaking in the shadows
Sometimes you'll have to blend into the shadows and sneak past enemies to avoid being detected. Following their patrol routes and habits will help you find the best path.

Tough combat
The combat system is easy to understand but it takes practice to fully master it. Remember one thing: being outnumbered is a problem! If three or more opponents attack you at the same time, you will die! The key is to take advantage of their mistakes, wait for the right moment, and then attack. You will face not just knights, villagers, and robbers, but also various supernatural beings who are not to be underestimated.

THE GAME IS FULLY BLIND ACCESSIBLE. More information on the game's website.

1428: Shadows over Silesia - Playable Characters

by Hiddenx, Saturday - September 17, 2022 05:47

KUBI Games introduced the playable characters of 1428: Shadow over Silesia:

Introduction of playable characters

The main characters Hynek and Lothar are being introduced

You will experience the story of the game from the point of view of the two main characters, Hynek, a grumpy Hussite hetman who doesn't hesitate to swear or mess around with anything, and Lothar, a Hospitaller knight, a man of good education and manners who stands alongside his brethren in the front line of the Silesian defense. Each has their own motivations and views of the world around them, and different equipment and abilities. The time has come to introduce them a little more closely.

Hynek 'The Fox'
An orphan raised by his grandmother at the court of Jobst of Luxemburg in Brno. Hynek embraced Hussite ideals, which gave him the support he thought he had long lost. In the spring of 1428, in Silesia, he commanded his troop as one of the many hetmans of the Hussite field army.

Lothar von Reichenstein
A young Silesian nobleman from a castle at the foot of the Golden Mountains. In defiance of his father, he joined the Order and renounced all his inheritance in favour of his younger sister Anna. Lothar joined the commandery of Knights Hospitaller in Small Oels and soon gained the trust of both his superiors and his brothers. His calm nature, sharp mind and excellent swordsmanship made him an indispensable member of the Order who could always be relied upon and whose judgement must be taken into account.

1428: Shadows over Silesia - Release postponed to October 4

KUBI Games postponed the release of 1428: Shadows over Silesia to October 4:

Announcement of new release date

1428: Shadows over Silesia will be released on 4th October

Hear ye, hear ye, brave adventurers! I bring important news from the battlefield.

This year has been a very busy one for me, but since January, thanks to the money from the crowdfunding campaign, I've been able to not only finish most of what I had planned, but also add a number of new ideas to the game. I'm well on my way. There are just a few small steps left to take to make it happen.

Unfortunately, due to extra content (such as the Farkle mini-game), blind accessibility, and the preparation of the physical edition, I've been delayed and need more time. I might have made the original release date of September 6, but I'm sure the game would have contained many bugs, imperfections and you simply wouldn't have enjoyed it as much as I would have liked. So I have a tough decision to make.

Release date postponed to October 4, 2022.

Some things are best not rushed. I want the game to come out in the best possible quality, and the extra few weeks will allow me to polish and fine-tune it. I believe you'll understand. As a small consolation I'm attaching some new screenshots. 

Thanks Redglyph!
