SplattercatGaming dives into a new renaissance with a hands on preview of Valorborn, the expansively systemic medieval fantasy sandbox RPG developed by Laps Games.
Valorborn gameplay with splattercat! Let’s Play Valorborn and check out a game where you’ll wash up on shores unknown and be forced to make your own way in a sprawling rpg sandbox!
Live the scrappy life of a street urchin, making the best of it with hard-earned survival skills, or commune with nature as a forest hermit. Choose a utilitarian path as a wandering merchant or blacksmith’s apprentice. Master the dark arts of violence as the assassin’s disciple, with more backstories to emerge throughout development.
Recruit companions to conquer dangerously well-paying contracts or negotiate with opposing factions to progress more diplomatically. Villagers may find peace in serving the lord of their town behind the safety of well-equipped guards, but can they stop a stealthy bandit from picking their locks and looting their materials and treasure? Whether you play the role of lord or thief, beware, for permadeath lurks around every corner.
Quest through ruined castles and thriving cities, hunt for food in the western hills, trade with and/or steal from others, build up new camp sites, fight aggressive enemies (or don’t!), and discover the myriad wonders of a vast world. Square off with territorial trolls, fend off predatory animals, and beware The Dead City and its skeleton warriors…
“Valorborn is an ambitious project for us made possible by our fans who supported Land of the Vikings,” said Onurhan Akçay, founder of Laps Games. “You will die at some point, but we made a game that’s rewarding for those who are willing to experiment and explore, especially as we make our way through Early Access.”
The expansive world of Valorborn opens up in Steam Early Access for PC, coming soon. For more information on Valorborn, follow Laps Games’ official pages on X and Instagram, check out their official YouTube, and join the ranks of their official Discord community.
