Dark Envoy News

Welcome to the realm of Jäan, a world that shares familiar threads with our own, yet is woven with the touch of arcane wonders and the marvels of advancement.

Within the heart of Jäan resides a delicate equilibrium between two contrasting powers: magic and technology. In the backdrop of medieval fantasy, the League's territories find themselves entangled in the evolving currents of technology. Picture a world where technology stands tall as a contender against the dominion of magic. The Empire, driven by the desire to match the League's mystical might, embarked on a technological journey, sparking a rivalry that fueled the flames of war. Beneath this intricate tale lies the lurking influence of an ominous force, casting shadows over all.



Jäan reveals two distinct magical facets: innate magic interwoven into the very fabric of the planet, and enigmatic chaos magic, whose origins remain a mystery for now. This chaos magic, deceptively unassuming, nurtures an insatiable hunger for dominance, and succumbing to its charms can lead to destruction. This subtle divergence weaves the destiny of Jäan.

As we traverse Jäan's diverse landscapes, stark contrasts emerge. Vast deserts sprawl, bearing the whispers of civilizations long-lost to the annals of time. Amidst this harsh expanse, pockets of life thrive in settlements dedicated to trade and exploration.



Brace yourself for encounters with scorpions, marauding bandits, and the enigmatic riddles hidden beneath the shifting desert dunes. Venture into the grandeur of majestic temples and awe-inspiring laboratories. These sites are a dance of enlightenment and peril, where scavenger tales mingle with whispers of dormant creations, waiting to challenge the mettle of those who tread upon their sacred soil.



Discover the mysteries unfurled by Jäan's lush forests and enigmatic swamps. Here, native magic courses through every leaf and branch, weaving a captivating tapestry that masks the lurking presence of predators. Amidst the beauty lies caution, reminding us to tread carefully and remain vigilant, as danger often accompanies enchantment.



Intrigued? Ready to set forth on a journey through Jäan's realms, where both spells and steel forge a path of adventure that you won't soon forget.

Upcoming tactical CRPG Dark Envoy caught my attention when it was announced last year, mainly because it has the undeniably cool combo of high fantasy magic and steampunk firearms. Casting you as a refugee adventurer, you’ll be shooting and/or spell-flinging across the war-ravaged world of Jäan, and you can even bring a friend along for the ride in co-op. We already knew all that good stuff, but the developers have now released a new video that delves deeper into the game’s classes and specialisations. Take a look below.

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!
