Borealys Games announced Echoes of Mystralia, a new spellcrafting roguelite action RPG, for PC (Steam). The developers mentioned that it will release on "additional platforms" following its PC release, as well. The indie game studio from Montreal previously worked on 2017's Mages of Mystralia.

Become a protector of the Cycle of Memories through Mazarim. Traverse to Mystralia and fend off the Shadows of the Past that haunt its inhabitants. Master the art of concocting spells and discover your own playstyle.

Throughout each run, players make progress towards unlocking persistent permanent skills, earning spell recipes, and encountering different side quests.

Montreal-based independent game development studio Borealys Games has announced its next game, Echoes of Mystralia. The reveal trailer for the spellcrafting Action-RPG Roguelite was featured in the Future Games Show and the game will be on the show floor at this week’s Gamescom show in Cologne, Germany. 

This story-driven game with fast-paced action returns players to the magical world of Mystralia. But this time the player has all the power to shape their journey by creating their own spells, making choices, refining their tactics, and carving out their own path through a living world that changes with each encounter. Echoes of Mystralia features the award-winning custom spellcrafting system from the studio’s previous game, Mages of Mystralia, but has completely revamped it to make it less cumbersome yet yield infinite possibilities.

In Echoes of Mystralia, players take on the role of Mazarim, a protector of the Cycle of Memories who must return to the vanishing world of Mystralia to meet its inhabitants, hear their stories, and confront the Shadows of the Past that haunt it. Guided by The Memory of the World, players battle the Rift that threatens Mystralia’s very existence while perfecting the intricate art of weaving memory magic and spellcrafting to unlock the power to restore balance in this mystical journey of enlightenment.

“With this game, we wanted to move toward the quicker action play mechanic of popular roguelites, but retain the custom spellcrafting system the people loved from our first game,” said Louis-Félix Cauchon, founder and president of Borealys Games. “With Mages of Mysteria the spell system supported more contemplative puzzle-solving, so we have completely retooled it to gear towards the fast combat and focus more on mastery. All the custom crafting is still there and, in fact, is close to unlimited, but it’s more accessible.”

In addition to the fast-action spell-based combat, Echoes of Mystralia introduces rich lore and deep exploration with an interactive map that allows players to make more meaningful choices regarding where to explore or engage with side quests. Players will also develop relationships with characters they encounter, unlock permanent skills, learn new spell recipes, and make critical decisions about their approach each time they venture into the vast world of Mystralia.

Echoes of Mystralia is slated for release for PC on Steam with additional platforms to follow. For more information on Echoes of Mystralia, please visit echoesofmystralia.com or  BorealysGames.com and wishlist on Steam.
