The Waylanders out now, ready to take on Dragon Age

The Waylanders has finally launch on PC, breaking its early access bonds. You can find it on GOG as well as Steam where it’s 20% off for a limited time.

Developed by Gato Studio, the hotly anticipated roleplaying game has been in development since 2016, having found success on crowdfunding platform Kickstarter.

Inspired by Celtic mythology, The Waylanders adds an interesting twist with its time-bending narrative. In both its presentation and gameplay, it has been likened to genre stalwarts including Dragon Age, Neverwinter Nights, and Baldur’s Gate.

We went hands-on with an earlier build and came away intrigued, Gato having spent months adding new content, features, and a ton of polish.
