Quorum Games announces Call of Elyndra, a "hybrid" action/RPG said to be coming later this year, though Steam shows a "to be announced" release window. This will bring another of those villages that cries out for someone like you to chop down trees, grow crops, and do battle with monsters. This will allow players the choice between cozy gameplay and a more action-oriented experience. This can be seen in this trailer which boasts a "brand new 2.5D look" with no context. A playable demo is available right now, allowing a sample for Windows and macOS. Here's the pitch:
Embark on a hero's journey in Call of Elyndra, a hybrid cozy RPG adventure featuring retro pixel art and an engaging cast of characters. A prophetic dream beckons you to the vast world of Elyndra, where a ruthless Empire threatens many communities you'll defend. Uncover the truth and unravel the fate of this fantasy world by connecting with companions, fostering the local agriculture, and completing quests. You decide how you experience the world of Elyndra and save it from its evil foes!
