Unveiling the Hand-Drawn Skills in Dark Envoy

Today we wanted to show you a sneak peek into the realm of hand-drawn skills that are about to spice up your tactical gameplay!

In Dark Envoy, hand-drawn skills introduce a unique and captivating mechanic that empowers players to unleash their creativity and tactical prowess. Unlike traditional preset skills, hand-drawn skills allow you to literally draw the path and shape of your abilities, providing a level of control and flexibility that is both engaging and innovative.

Here's how it works: Select the skill and sketch the trajectory or area of effect using your mouse. That’s all. Your drawn path determines how the skill behaves and interacts with the environment and enemies.



For instance, the "High Wall" skill for the Warrior class lets you create a formidable barrier anywhere you desire, effectively blocking enemy movement and line of sight. On the other hand, the 'Firewall' skill, which belongs to the Adept class, empowers you to unleash a torrent of flames along a drawn shape. This fiery barrier inflicts damage to any foes caught in its path.



🧱 High Wall 🧱
Class: Warrior
Create a formidable High Wall along a 10/12/14m path, obstructing movement and line of sight.
Duration: 10 seconds

🔥 Fire Wall🔥
Class: Adept
Summon the inferno and unleash the mighty Fire Wall—a blazing barrier that spans up to 12 meters.
Duration: 12 seconds

Different classes and specializations offer various hand-drawn skills, each with its own strategic advantages and tactical applications. As you progress and hone your abilities, you'll discover creative ways to outmaneuver your enemies and approach encounters with cunning precision.

With hand-drawn skills, Dark Envoy breaks traditional boundaries, empowering you to shape your destiny and tailor your combat approach in a new way. So, ready your drawing hand, and let your tactics come to life!

Dark Envoy universe

To all adventurers!

Today we're thrilled to share with you some insight into the universe of Dark Envoy. Our game tells the story of two siblings, Malakai and Kaela, born and raised in Jäan, an alternative dimension to the world from Tower of Time. Their world is inhabited by a variety of races, of which the youngest one, humans, appeared here quite recently…

Because of their abrupt arrival, humans were always considered different from the other inhabitants. Humans weren't ostracized per se, but the "younger siblings" treatment everyone gave them shaped their worldview and their desire for independence. This divide was the catalyst for the conflict between the League, which represents the allied forces of old, and the human Empire.



What also contributed to the rift between the factions was their attitude towards magic. The magical abilities of humans were inferior to those of the old inhabitants of Jäan. This became a principle by which the newcomers were judged. To make up for that lack of potential, humans turned to technology. Their inventions quickly started to rival magic, which greatly worried the former hegemons. Their magic now had competition.

We've been hard at work developing a story that will draw you into this world, and we're excited to share it with you. Stay tuned for more updates on the game, and we look forward to seeing you in Dark Envoy.

🔥Meteor Blast and❄️ Frost Breath skill showcase

Get ready for some action! Today we'd like to bring you a video that showcases the devastating power of the Adept/Elementalist specialization in Dark Envoy!

Elementalist manages a perfect balance between all four elements. Using their combined power, they can devastate enemy formations with plenty of area effects.

The video features two signature skills that will make your enemies freeze in fear or burn them away from the battlefield. Meteor Blast lets you summon a fiery explosion, while Frost Breath allows you to channel a stream of cold that freezes your foes in place, dealing heavy damage over time.
