Primal Game Studio, in partnership with publisher Knights Peak, is excited to unveil the third installment in its "Spotlight" video series for the highly anticipated action RPG, Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree. This dark fantasy Metroidvania-inspired title combines deep RPG mechanics with challenging combat and a rich, atmospheric world. 

The latest Spotlight video offers players an in-depth look at the game’s class system, focusing on two of the primary playstyles: Vanguard and Spellbinder. With each class offering distinct combat approaches, players will have the freedom to shape their journey through the cursed world of Mandragora.

Vanguard – The Stalwart Warrior

A melee-focused class excelling in direct combat. Players can choose from three loadouts:

• One-handed weapon + light shield – Balanced offense and defense with quick counterattacks.
• One-handed weapon + heavy shield – Strong defense at the cost of mobility.
• Two-handed weapon – High damage output, sacrificing defense.

Each loadout includes unique abilities like "Enrage" for increased attack power or "Whirlwind" for area-of-effect damage.

Spellbinder – The Arcane Master

A magic-focused class specializing in ranged attacks and powerful spells. Players can adopt one of two styles:

• Mage Assassin – Mid-range burst damage with spells like "Shadow Shards."
• Full Caster – Long-range attacks with unpredictable effects like "Chaos Dice."

Day-One DRM-Free Release on GOG

Primal Game Studio confirms that Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree will be available DRM-free on GOG from day one. Players will have full ownership, with no online checks or restrictions—ensuring offline play anytime, anywhere.

Set in the dark and immersive world of Faelduum, Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree blends Soulslike combat with non-linear exploration, offering challenging battles, deep character customization, and a narrative shaped by player choices. The game features six distinct character classes, each with unique talent trees and over 200 active skill upgrades. The story is crafted by Brian Mitsoda (Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines), with a haunting soundtrack composed by Christos Antoniou and performed by the FILMharmonic Orchestra of Prague.
