Beneath The Tyrant
A downloadable game for Windows
Out 28/4/2025!!!
Step into the brutal and unforgiving realms south of Oakenshade. Ruined strongholds are scattered about these far flung regions. Danger is around every corner. A king will rise from nothing and claim what is rightfully his.
Hours of content with rewarding progression. New storytelling methods not seen before in Kings Field games. An atmospheric soundtrack reflecting each environment. From Dark Valleys to ancient ruins. From bleak plains to haunted crypts. I've used everything I could muster to make this into and immersive RPG that stands strong on it's own.
Storyboards using artwork by one of my favourite artists the legendary Gustave Doré (Public domain)
The cover art/title image is entitled 'The Goethe Monument' by Carl Gustav Carus (1832)
Some new textures and assets thanks to Verdite cat, StolenBattenberg and the members of the Sword of Moonlight discord
Also try my previous SoM games 'Bane of Oakenshade' and the short sequel 'Below the Oak'

BTW, love the story. So classic! I will definitely be playing this soon!
Looks like Kings Field. I am hyped!
It is the Kings Field engine!
Realy nice. I wish to be able to learn use this engine too one day. Or do u need any help from a little dev? I only know about GB Studio lol. Cant wait i can play this game!
I'm all good thanks. It's an easy engine to use it's just buggy and hard to get working on modern hardware.
Download the engine and have a mess around it's great. If. I need a hand I'll let you know. Likewise for you I will check your stuff
Nice Trailer, i want to play
Thanks. I look forward to it.
Very nice!
Cheers
There's lots of new assets going into this. It's not breaking new ground by any means but it's definitely got a breath of fresh air about it. There are some really cool SoM projects on the go at the moment.
Interesting. Always cool to see what happens next from game to game within SoM community. Despite how simplistic/outdated (compared to modern engines) tools are, creators often manage to come up with very cool creative tricks, or perhaps simply charming moments and memorable atmosphere. Best wishes!
Thank you I've added and continue to add some different elements day by day.
Thank you for your support over multiple years. I have included you in the 'special thanks' section of the credits. If you wish to be removed I will do so
You're kind for doing that. Thanks.
