Northgard devs are back with a cartoony high-fantasy action-RPG, set to launch in beta later this year
The PC Gaming Show is all about showcasing upcoming games, with Shiro Games, the team behind Evoland, Northgard, and Wartales, making a grand return by announcing their latest title, Farever. Farever, originally unveiled during the June 8 PC Gaming Show, is an "online cooperative action RPG set in a high-fantasy open world" set to launch in beta access later this year. It'll first release in beta access before transitioning to Early Access and, eventually, a full 1.0 release. Right away, Shiro Games sets the stage for what to expect with Farever's character class options, revealing that you can "select from one of 10 character classes (with four planned in Early Access), specializing in tanking, support, and DPS roles while experimenting with over 100 weapons and their accompanying skills available at 1.0 launch." Shiro also reveals activities you can partake in outside of combat, highlighting the addition of crafting and gathering jobs like blacksmithing and cooking to try out outside of battle. Image via Shiro Games I'll admit it: I'm a sucker for these types of games. The only thing I like more than cutesy cartoony graphics is action mixed with casual, chill profession grinding when I need a few minutes to relax. Its combat looks smooth enough to draw me in, making me interested to see what its beta and beyond will look like. Shiro Games also mentions that "Every weapon in Farever has unique skills associated with it, allowing players to create a customized arsenal for nearly unlimited build variety," setting up the potential for full-on, in-depth class build customization, depending on how they implement this mechanic. My first impression of Farever is its similarities to Evoland, another of Shiro Games' titles. Although Evoland focused more on video game evolution with its transition from 2D pixellated graphics to 3D models, Farever still seems to draw some inspiration from it. I quite like Evoland, despite not yet finishing my playthrough, leaving me optimistic to see if Shiro Games has built upon their preexisting experience to create an evolved RPG with some unique twists or if it'll stay safe and remain similar to titles within the action RPG genre. Farever's beta version will be released on PC through Steam later this year. There is currently no information available on when it'll launch in Early Access or how long it'll take to transition to a full 1.0 release.
