The Waylanders (v1.10)

The Waylanders is a fantasy RPG set in a richly detailed world inspired by Celtic mythology and the history of Galicia, Spain. The story revolves around a disastrous first encounter between the Celts and their gods, the Tuatha de Danaan, which sends the protagonist hurtling through time and into a land fractured by magical corruption and political strife. Players navigate a kingdom divided by competing factions, including humans, immortals, and mythical creatures like Werewolves and Goblins, each vying for control of the throne. The narrative explores themes of loyalty, power, and identity as you decide whether to back the rightful but inexperienced heir or a pragmatic military leader, forging alliances and relationships that shape the unfolding saga. Time travel plays a key role, allowing players to experience the same regions in both their ancient Celtic and later medieval Christian forms, revealing how culture, magic, and peoples have transformed over centuries. Gameplay combines real-time combat with tactical pause, emphasizing strategic use of party formations and abilities. You build a team from a diverse roster of companions, each with unique backgrounds and skills, and customize your character from several races rooted in Celtic legend, including rare options like Mourians and Semi-Fomorians. Progression unlocks new classes and powerful formation tactics that provide a variety of offensive and defensive options in battle. Exploration spans over 50 regions filled with quests, secrets, and challenges, while player choices carry weight across timelines, leading to multiple endings. The immersive experience is enhanced by a soundtrack from Emmy-winning composer Inon Zur and a photo mode that lets players capture the world’s haunting beauty. The Waylanders blends classic RPG influences with Celtic lore to deliver a deep, narrative-driven adventure across two eras.
