Press release:
Firenze, Italy –October 4, 2023.
The Firenze-based (Italy) indie games developer Insane Dreamers today announced with great thrill and joy that their party-based rogue-lite RPG “Mercenaries of the Kingdom: First Blood“, is now available for PC via Steam Early Access.

In Mercenaries of the Kingdom: First Blood, you take on the role of a mercenary facing a formidable, unknown enemy force. To survive, you must recruit, feed, equip, and train mercenaries using coins and loot from enemies.

The game offers two modes, Quick Run for a simpler experience and Story mode with more complexity, including base management and crafting. There are six races, 12 magical knowledge types, over 210 weapons, 650 armor components, and various magical items.

In Story mode, you can personalize your mercenary group, devise battle strategies, confront a diverse array of over 140 foes, and partake in base building, crafting, and soldier instruction, while grappling with the possibility of permanent character loss.

The developer intends to enhance the Early Access version by further developing the Story Mode and improving the quality of the Quick Run Mode. Currently, the Quick Run mode is fully playable, challenging players to survive against waves of enemies using loot-acquired equipment.

Features:

6 races: Humans, Orcs, Light Elves, Dark Elves, Dwarves, Goblins.

12 magical knowledge: Fire, Water, Earth, Ice, Electricity, Poison, Light, Darkness, Cosmos, Vampire, Demon, Hellfire!
