The Hand of Merlin
The Hand of Merlin is a turn-based rogue-lite RPG that blends Arthurian legend with cosmic horror. Players assemble up to three mortal heroes and guide them on a perilous quest from Albion to Jerusalem. The game features a rich medieval world on the edge of apocalypse, where exploration, trading with merchants, and uncovering ancient relics are key. Players search for lost soul fragments scattered across the multiverse, aiming to save as many worlds as possible. The story draws from Arthurian myths, the Matter of France, and Al-Andalus history, with a unique twist. Every playthrough offers branching choices in dynamic encounters. Written by Jonas and Verena Kyratzes, known for their work on acclaimed titles like The Talos Principle and Serious Sam 4, the game emphasizes squad-based and turn-based combat, challenging players to outmaneuver tough enemies using cover, ambushes, and class synergies. As you traverse Albion, Marca Hispanica, and Al-Andalus, your decisions shape history. Choose wisely—every.
