Bylina is an action RPG inspired by Slavic folklore, legends and myths. The game was developed by the Russian studio Far Far Games, while its release was handled by Fulqrum Publishing.
Plot
Bylina takes us to a fantasy world straight from Slavic folk tales. The main character of the game is Falconet (Little Falcon), the son of a famous hero. Despite being devoid of supernatural powers, the protagonist experiences rejection at every turn, but decides to follow in his father's footsteps. Unexpectedly, the expedition to the kingdom beyond seven mountains and seven forests ends in death for him.
However, Falconet is brought back to life by a ghost who "borrows" his body. Trying to regain control over his corporeal shell and discover the secret of his new companion, the protagonist becomes entangled in an intrigue of a much larger caliber, through which the fate of the entire known world hangs in the balance. As one can easily guess, it will be his job to save the land from destruction.
Gameplay
In Bylina we watch the action in an isometric view. Adventure leads us through the vast and diverse Land of Cities, where picturesque forests, towering castles, and dungeons shrouded in darkness await to be visited. During the game we travel through locations and get to know their inhabitants, as well as engage in dynamic battles with opponents – from bandits to legendary creatures.
On the battlefield, we make use of melee weapons (like swords and shields or even spears), ranged weapons (bows), as well as a wide range of combat spells. As we progress, we collect better equipment (not only weapons, but also armor), which we find or craft by making use of resources found along the way.
Over time we also develop the character, which allows him to face increasingly greater challenges. There are plenty of the latter here, for example in the form of powerful bosses, with whom we regularly have to clash.
