Meet the Ravenswatch
In Ravenswatch, players are cast as fallen heroes from classic tales and legends, yet with a dark, unique twist. Take Scarlet, our eerie take on Red Riding Hood, who morphs into a big bad wolf by night to hunt the Nightmares. Or meet the Pied Piper, a maestro of rats in combat. You’ll also find Beowulf swinging his massive sword alongside a baby wyrm and Mélusine wielding magical water wisps. Each hero brings a distinctive strategy to battle the threats in Reverie!
When you start, you’ll choose from characters like Scarlet, The Pied Piper, Beowulf, and the Snow Queen. But that’s just the beginning—a total of nine heroes are waiting to be unlocked during your journey. As you battle, you’ll uncover the secrets of the rest of the team.
Who Fits the Ravenswatch Roster?
Selecting new heroes is a thoughtful process. These characters form the heart of the game, shaping how it plays and feels. For each hero we add, they must meet certain criteria:
-
Gameplay Innovation: Each hero should offer a unique experience, be it through ranged attacks, melee skills, or completely unconventional gameplay styles. New characters must bring fresh dynamics to the mix.
-
Global Recognition: We lean toward heroes inspired by world-renowned tales and legends. Familiar characters resonate more with players and must fit seamlessly into the comic book style of our universe, avoiding those from stories that are either too ancient or too futuristic.
-
Compelling Backstory: The original tales are a treasure trove of inspiration for both character and gameplay design. We like to put a new spin on these stories, using iconic moments or objects to create exciting twists on familiar characters.
- Visual Diversity: Seeing our heroes together, like a "family photo," should be visually fascinating, diverse, and eclectic.
More Awaits!
We’re planning exciting updates for Ravenswatch, which you can follow on Twitter and Discord. And here’s a little extra teaser—our first DLC is on the horizon, free for everyone, and introduces a duo that must be played together to harness their full potential. Their abilities are tightly interwoven, requiring teamwork to prevail, but that’s a story for another time…
So, it’s time to gather your friends and dive into the world of Ravenswatch today!
