The land of tycoons is described as an “epic adventure of love, betrayal and sacrifice” inspired by Middle Eastern myths and follows Prince Malik Shahbaz as he attempts to save his kingdom, which is “shrouded in darkness and darkness.” silence after the death of his queen.
A new trailer for Land of the Magnates, debuted at the PC Gaming Show today. The game is an action platformer in which the disgraced prince battles monsters, solves puzzles, and traverses “magical realms” in search of a cure for his father, who has been poisoned, and for his homeland without light. He's really having a bad day, isn't he? THE?
“From the cursed Black Forest to the Land of the Sun shrouded in darkness, from the domain of the Water Princess to the marble lands of the Monkey Kings, Shahbaz will have to lift ancient curses, defeat the vile servants of darkness with his trusty sitar. and solve complex puzzles requiring quick thinking and quick fingers,” explains the developer.
Some of the most striking artwork in the new trailer appears to come from a steampunk future where all the colors have been drained, giving it a black look reminiscent of Cairo train station.
The gameplay seems familiar: running, jumping, wall jumping. Watch development gameplay on the Steam Page, I noticed some really cool camera movements as they went through the levels, which gave the game a unique look and feel. Whether this will translate into something that will help keep us satisfied until Silksong comes out remains to be seen (give us a release date!), but it certainly seems worth the wait.
An interesting twist is that Prince Malik uses his trusty sitar as his only weapon and traveling companion. Music forms the backbone of the sequences we've seen as well as the gameplay mechanics, as you use the sitar as both a weapon and a tool to solve puzzles. The game features music from Turkish artists from Istabul.
Land of the Magnates should be released in 2024 and will be available on Steam.
