SKALD: Against the Black Priory Free Download (v1.0.3)

You drag yourself from the black tides, across the corpses of drowned men, and onto the unwelcoming, craggy shoreline. Gulls cry overhead and the stink of seaweed fills your nose. By some miracle, you have made it to Idra. It will take all your skill to survive and unravel the eldritch mysteries of the Black Priory.

SKALD: Against the Black Priory is inspired by classic roleplaying games, blending modern design and engaging storytelling with authentic 8-bit aesthetics and charm.

Explore a dark fantasy world filled with deadly creatures, tragic heroes, and Lovecraftian horror in an epic retro-style adventure rich in exploration and tactical, turn-based combat.

Do you have what it takes to lead a company of broken heroes from the tainted shores of Idra to the gates of the Black Priory – and beyond?

Gather Your Party

Lead a band of broken heroes through challenging turn-based combat scenarios as you cleave, blast, or stealth your way through deadly enemies. Equip your heroes using a modern inventory system, fulfill objectives through quest logs, and read journals to uncover hidden secrets. If the action gets too intense, use auto-resolve to bypass conflicts entirely.

Prepare Thyself

Prepare for your journey by crafting and cooking from a variety of recipes. Choose your character, select their stats, and build a party from a diverse set of allies, each with unique skills, agendas, and personalities. Decide between a dozen classes and varied backgrounds, leveling up to 20 while customizing your spells and equipment to fit your playstyle.

Venture Forth

In an unforgiving world with Lovecraftian horrors and choice-based dialogue, your story will take many unexpected twists and turns. Living as a mercenary, you’ll need to roll the dice to determine whether you fall prey to peril or escape grave danger.

Celebrate Yesteryear

Uncover the grand schemes of the Gallian Empire and explore the vast expanse of Freymark and the Outer Isles. In SKALD: Against the Black Priory, experience a richly illustrated world of authentic pixel art, created from thousands of hand-drawn tiles and images using a palette inspired by the legendary Commodore 64 computer. For true retro enthusiasts, an optional CRT filter is included.
