Press release:
Los Angeles, USA – 20th February 2024.
The L.A.-based (the US) indie games developer Burst2Flame are today very excited and happy to announce that they are going to release the full version (v1.0) of their turn-based tactical RPG/dungeon crawler “Stolen Realm”, on March 8th (2024) for PC (via Steam) and consoles (Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch).

“Stolen Realm” takes the core of the RPG experience and distills it down into a fast-paced experience free of RPG-bloat so that you can focus on making important choices.

That includes strategic decisions in combat, how to take advantage of a highly flexible class system that lets you build everything from spell-slinging assassins to shadow-infused knights, and the opportunity to make dubious deals with demons in just one example of the attribute-altering events you might encounter on your journey.

Play Stolen Realm solo, or in co-op with up to six heroes, as you build a unique hero from a pool of over 300 skills in 10 distinct skill trees and arm yourself with over 700 unique lootable items, each fully customisable with modifiers. Frictionless drop-in/drop-out systems give players the flexibility to join or leave mid-quest, with the game automatically scaling difficulty based on the number of players currently active.

Praise for Stolen Realm

“What I like about this game is it’s straight to the point. There’s no bulls**t” – Shroud

“we’re losing our evenings to… Stolen Realm” – TheXboxHub

“You can be a fire warrior. You can be a healing necromancer. You can do all sorts of weird s**t.” – Sacriel

Garnering overwhelming positive user reviews during its time on early access on Steam, Stolen Realm takes the deep tactical systems of RPGs like Baldur’s Gate 3 and Divinity: Original Sin and gives it a unique twist. Simultaneous turns allows all members of the player and enemy team to take their actions at once, creating the kinds of fast-paced encounters you’d typically find in action RPGs, without sacrificing the strategic richness that turn-based RPG fans love.

As you explore procedurally generated dungeons that range from frosty peaks to overgrown jungles, picking your path between battles, story events, resource gathering, shops and treasure rooms on your way to the final boss, you can discover and customise awesome gear that can radically change the way you play.

Wield Abbadon the Soul Crusher, a mythic mace that raises slain enemies as skeletal warriors to fight for you, or unsheath the Bloodletter, a cursed sword that grants additional power at the cost of your lifeblood. D&D-like attribute based rolls that have permanent effects on your character in special events add further variety and intrigue to your adventure.

With the game launching out of Early Access on PC and hitting Xbox and Switch on March 8th, the game will be getting a complete story, as well as a brand new streamer mode. The streamer mode allows viewers of a stream to step onto the role of dungeon master, voting and deciding on the enemies and events the streamer will face. These updates add to a roguelike mode, hardcore more and 6 difficulty levels.

“After years of dedication and hard work, our small team is really excited to be launching Stolen Realm on PC, Xbox and Switch on March 8th,” said developer Jason Jolley.

“The success and praise we’ve had during Early Access has been wonderful and we’re looking forward to introducing the game to a bigger, wider audience on March 8th.”
