Kynseed will be leaving early access this December, finally fully launching on Steam. Developed by ex-Fable series devs, the slice-of-life title includes everything you could want from a life sim including farming, running a business, raising your own pixel family and exploring a world. There’s also crafting and engaging in real-time combat with the strange creatures of the world of Quill.
What’s also interesting about Kynseed is when a player’s character eventually dies, the control is then passed down to their children. This includes your skills and powers, a passing of the torch. This multi-generational story continues on through the offspring of your characters. Combat combines turn-based RPG with strategy as well as reactions of an action title, using up stamina for blocks and movement. You can use special charms and wards to help buff your character as well as debuff your enemies.
Kynseed was in early access for the past few years, with the developer gaining feedback from players and improving the title. The game has seen over 100,000 players in early access. If you like the idea of aFable-fueled,Stardew Valleyadventure then Kynseed might be worth checking out this December.
