‘Deathless. Tales of Old Rus’ – Roguelike Deck-Builder Available Now in Early Access

Developer 1C Game Studios’ Deathless. Tales of Old Rus is now available through Early Access. Deathless. Tales of Old Rus is the first video game adaptation of acclaimed artist Roman Papsuev’s modern fantasy world and features unique heroes, striking visuals, and over 350 cards to collect! 

In the complete version of Deathless. Tales of Old Rus four heroes will be available. While starting the EA you play Varvara The Fair, crafty and cunning in equal measure, the treasure hunter wields her trusty pickaxe and enchanted braid in battle. Two additional heroes will be introduced during the EA period.

No two journeys in Deathless. Tales of Old Rus are the same, as the game features deep strategic variety, combat modifiers, and exciting secrets to uncover. 

Deathless. Tales of Old Rus inspired by games like Slay the Spire  is set in Belosvet, a fantasy world home to bogatyrs, wizards, and sorcerers, amusing little spirits known as nechistiks, and myriad creatures most foul. The world of Belosvet is inspired by Slavic folklore and has been carefully and lovingly redesigned by artist and author Roman Papsuev, the best artist of Europe in 2008 according to the Eurocon convention.

The game also features music from leading composer Dmitri Silantyev, who is known for his work on Pathfinder: Kingmaker, Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader, Armored Warfare, and Skyforge
