Swordhaven: Iron Conspiracy is a new upcoming RPG that takes heavy inspiration from the first (and best) Baldur’s Gate. It’s made by the developers AtomTeam, which in the past has created such titles as ATOM RPG: Post-apocalyptic indie game and ATOM RPG: Trudograd. So, it’s not some random dudes trying to break in with the fancy idea of RPG throwback – it’s a genuine thing that gives me confidence that it will be a fine product. They recently released a gameplay trailer that you can watch below.
To be fair, it’s not the most intriguing trailer, but it shows proof of concept at least. I think it looks pretty good, and the turn-based combat will surely be fun. Also, fighting rats as a level one must be one of the most classic RPG tropes. They are planning to run a Kickstarter for Swordhaven. Make sure to bookmark it, so you can back it when it launches (late Marsh). I’m looking forward to this, as a low-key RPG is just what we need after the more bombastic Baldur’s Gate 3. Let’s hope it all goes well, and we get a nice game at the end. I also want to wish the team good luck since running a Kickstarter can be stressful!

I want to be excited about Swordhaven but Atom RPG is in my steam library but I just can’t get into it, the combat especially, and well the whole thing kind of dull.
Any chance you can review it or Trudograd in next few weeks while waiting for this EA?
Thanks,
Steve

Trudograd is better 🙂 Maybe I will review it someday, but I have many games on my plate atm. Will add it to the list, however.
