WRATH: Aeon of Ruin News

Greetings, everyone!

Steam Next Fest is upon us! With so many titles to choose from this week, it’s easy to get lost. And that’s why Fulqrum Publishing is on hand, with a diverse selection of three demos among which we are certain you can find a new favourite! Will you to take a stand in the eternal conflict between Arcane Magic and Steampunk Revolution in New Arc Line, prove your political brilliance in a grand strategy that will take your legacy to the stars in Realpolitiks 3: Earth and Beyond, or become a master of sword and magic in VED?

[h3]New Arc Line[/h3]

Take a stand in the eternal conflict between Arcane Magic and Steampunk Revolution and tip the uneasy balance between sorcery, elves, dwarves and mysterious monsters on one side and steampunk gadgets, zeppelins, and tesla guns on the other in this single-player, party-based, story-rich RPG.

In the demo, you will be thrown right into the middle of a deadly epidemic of the Iron Plague - select from 2 classes and play as either a Voodoo Shaman or a Diesel Engineer of either the Human or Elven race, and investigate what's going on in the Leprosarium; a hospital specializing in treating patients in the Slums district suffering from the horrific disease. With several ways of completing the quest and moral decisions to make along the way, will you rise to the occasion?

[h3]Realpolitiks 3: Earth and Beyond[/h3]
Prove your political brilliance in a grand strategy like no other: pick any contemporary country, set up your government and navigate the pitfalls of domestic and international politics. A glorious destiny awaits - the domination of not just the Earth, but the whole Solar system!

The demo will allow you to govern either Germany or Mexico, and you will have 5 in-game years to show off your cunning leadership skills in the new, extreme Overdrive mode. At launch, any contemporary nation will be available for your ambitions, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe and everything in between, and you will be able to enjoy different campaign modes to boot!

[h3]VED[/h3]
VED is a story-driven, hand-drawn RPG with a unique turn-based combat system and roguelite elements. Set in two different worlds, VED tells the story of Cyrus, a young hero who sets out on a quest to become a master of sword and magic, and save everything he knows from destruction.

The demo will let you sneak a peek at a very early part of the game's story - just enough to whet your appetite, but with no significant spoilers!

Greetings Outlander,

The time has come for you to finally complete your journey - heed the call of the Shepherd of Wayward Souls and defeat the Guardians of the Old World! Your quest will take you on a sprawling adventure through the many corrupted temples, mystic forests, and decaying ruins linked by each of the three hub worlds in WRATH: Aeon of Ruin.

In short: the game is now out of Early Access and its full content is available to you. To celebrate this joyous occasion, let's watch the new trailer we've prepared, featuring music by the legendary Sakis Tolis (of Rotting Christ).

We went into detail of what the full release brings in a previous announcement, so we will just sum it up here:

• Fully-Implemented Story
  
• 3 New Weapons - meaning 9 in total
  
• 4 New Enemies - 15 in total
  
• 2 New Sigils - 3 in total
  
• 5 New Artifacts - 10 in total
  

We have also changed the previously released beginning of the game, which means you will need to begin your journey anew, the old save games will no longer work. However, the changes and additions are so significant that we hope you will enjoy re-visiting your old stomping grounds.

Besides adding a new introduction and tutorial segment, which also serves as the anchor for the narrative and worldbuilding, we have added many general improvements over the initial early-access release:

• Improved Enemy Encounters
  
• Improved Enemy AI
  
• Improved Map Layouts
  
• Improvements to Overall Balance
  
• Improvements to Overall Performance
  

WRATH: Aeon of Ruin is now available with a 15% discount for the first week after launch. And if you want to get yourselves a really sweet deal, check out these bundles where an additional 10% discount applies - this is especially handy if you already own some of the games, since you will only pay for those you don't have yet!

Therefore please, if you run into any problems, report them either here in Steam discussions, or on our Discord server.
