Polish developer False Prophet has announced BEAST, a new tactical role-playing game set in a dark world of Carpathian legends.

BEAST is in development for Windows PC (via Steam) and has a release window set for sometime next year, in 2024.

Here’s a rundown on the game, plus its debut trailer via IGN:

Long presumed dead, a veteran returns from a 10-year-long Ottoman slavery.

His Carpathian homeland is feebly reigned by the demented prophet-king, its lands ruined by raiders and cursed with a hellish plague.

Everything he loved and cherished is either gone or has changed beyond recognition. All he has left is his soldiers’ loyalty – and a holy quest to end the plague.

Facing hordes of enemies as well as his inner demons, you must help him see it through no matter the cost!

Features

• UNIQUE BEAST SYSTEM – Exercise or exorcise your inner Beast – you decide. The Insanity system pushes players to make difficult moral decisions during combat.
• INSANITY OF THE DARK AGES – Atmospheric, story-rich grimdark world inspired by Carpathian legends. There is only evil – greater or lesser.
• BRUTAL AND DYNAMIC MELEE-FOCUSED COMBAT – Command your squad in fast paced, gridless, turn-based tactical battles. Advance and survive intense and visceral encounters.
