Bellwright PC

Bellwright is a cross between a survival game and an action RPG with strategy elements. It was developed by Donkey Crew, an indie studio also known for Last Oasis.

Plot

Bellwright is set in a world inspired by medieval Europe. Our playable character must hide from the law after being framed for the prince's murder. After miraculously surviving an assassination, they get a hold of the assassin's contract, learning new facts about their situation. They must return to their homeland and lead the rebellion against the new tyrannical ruler to learn did the prince fall to an accident or a conspiracy. Along the way, they discover the secrets of their family.

Mechanics

Bellwright is a third-person game. We'll spend most of the early game gathering resources, used both for survival (such as food, acquired by hunting or farming) and expansion. We start off being able to only build simple huts, eventually progressing to more advanced facilities. This lets us gradually turn our base into a formidable camp.

The player is not alone on their quest. As we traverse the world, we visit other settlements, meeting other characters and solving their problems. Many of them will join us out of gratitude, helping us gather resources and letting us use their unique skills, tied to crafting, construction or combat.

Our army grows as we play, letting the resistance liberate villages and cities from the new ruler. Our troops include melee fighters, archers and many other units. Combat is fast-paced, our characters must be properly geared out, equipped with good weapons and armor, using appropriate tactics and formations. The number of our troops grows as we progress through the game and our characters become stronger, letting us attack more critical targets.

Game modes

Bellwright supports singleplayer and online co-op.

Technical aspects

Bellwright features high-quality visuals. The dense vegetation covering visited locations is especially appealing.
