King's Guard

Greetings 貴族 , 暗殺者 and 왕실 근위대,Fresh off our last localization update, we're back already - because apparently we hate sleep. King's Guard now also speaks Japanese, Korean, and Chinese (Simplified).Now, we won't pretend this one was easy. There were fonts. There were more fonts. There were nights spent staring at a single character wondering why it rendered as a tasteful gray rectangle. So if these localizations land well, we'll be over the moon. And if a stray glyph slips through looking slightly haunted - please tell us, before the goblins do.To celebrate, we wanted to greet all our new players properly. So, from the bottom of our hearts:吹迎 !…which we are reliably told means "welcome."谢谢 / ありがとうございます / 감사합니다Tales Game Studio

The wait is finally over! (Somewhat)We're thrilled to introduce the long-awaited phased mechanics system — a full reimagining of how you first set foot inside King's Guard. Think of it as a replacement for the old tutorial, except one that doesn't make you feel like you failed the Royal Academy entrance exam on your very first day. If the game's mechanical depth previously felt like a wall rather than a door, this update is here to change that. Oh, and we also snuck in some roguelike elements. You know the ones. You love them. We know.On a completely unrelated note, we have been extremely busy this past sprint carefully crafting, coloring, and animating a gorgeous illustrated sprite for Arianna specifically for this post. (She is still a gorgeous 16×16 monoblack sprite in the actual game. We think she looks very fancy either way. We're proud of her.)Anyway — welcome to the new demo. Go explore, break things, and let us know what you think.

We’re thrilled to announce that the demo launches August 7th!And just in time, a new face has joined the ranks of His Majesty’s loyal staff:The Royal Life CoachThis invaluable (and questionably qualified) advisor can now be consulted by your guards to learn active skills - essential tools for survival, deception, and dramatic exits. These include:Spontaneous Combustion – go out with a bang (literally)Trap Setting – because subtlety is an artKing’s Double Disguise – fool enemies, confuse alliesVoluntary Departure from the Mortal Realm – to free up pension spaceand many more ...Your guards might not live long... but at least now they can die with flair.Save the date and play our Demo!

We’re deep in the trenches, finalizing the content for our upcoming demo - and we’re stoked to introduce three new characters we’ve just added! Here’s a quick peek for you: Ogra"Ogra's morning routine includes sword drills, intimidation practice and screaming into a well." Arianna"The simple folk call Arianna a role model. That’s only because they haven’t heard her, three ales in, ranting about landlords and property taxes." Rupert"Rupert has been in the guard for 45 years. The only thing he fears more than death is retirement."
