update details
The Hand of Merlin is a turn-based role-playing game inspired by King Arthur's legend while adding science fiction elements. Gameplay revolves around gathering your squad and exploring medieval lands where fantasy meets high technology; you'll encounter enemy troops as you journey from Albion to Jerusalem with only four fighters as a part of their party of heroes defending it!
Exploring locations will reveal an incredible bounty of ancient artifacts and fragments of lost souls, necessary for saving many worlds. There are multiple paths available; you could take either the faster but harder option, or choose something safer but longer; death in The Hand of Merlin is permanent so plan your actions carefully! In The Hand of Merlin protagonists will travel between worlds so their environment changes accordingly.
As part of their journey, heroes must negotiate, barter and fight, incur financial losses but eventually gain fame and gold in exchange for finding camps to improve equipment or purchase new pieces. Each day the world becomes darker requiring you to face evil with appropriate weapons while Soul Stones allow for powerful spell learning that can prove invaluable in battle.
