Hardland is an arcade RPG produced by Mountain Sheep team, in which the action is observed from a camera placed behind the back of the character. The game is about exploring a randomly generated world, waging battles and developing the hero. The gameplay is enhanced by a powerful physical engine, which allows you to destroy virtually every element of the environment.

Hardland is an arcade RPG with a procedurally generated fantasy world. The game was developed by Mountain Sheep studio, which previously produced such mobile titles as Kinghunt, Death Rally, Ice Rage or Minigore series.

Hardland's action was set in a magical land of fantasy, ruled by an unusual and very old ruler. The authors have not prepared a linear campaign with a traditional plot - players are given full freedom of shaping their own stories in a procedurally generated world, filled with interesting locations and missions. It also allows us to go through the campaign many times, each time experiencing new adventures. At the same time, the creators developed a rich plot background describing the visited places and their past.

In Hardland we observe the events from a camera behind the back of a character, and during the game we mainly explore the world, perform tasks and fight with enemies. The combat system is largely arcade and the outcome of the clashes depends more on our own reflex than on hero statistics. The skirmishes offer many interesting and playful options. Among other things, we can wear masks to confuse enemies and cast spells on enemies and animals that transform them into our allies.

The mechanisms of character development, which allow to learn new skills and attacks, have not been forgotten either. Collection of better and better equipment also plays a key role. The attractiveness of the game is increased by its engine, because it makes it possible to destroy practically every element of the environment and this fact strongly influences the course of skirmishes and the nature of exploration.
