Betrayed by the Queen in order to hide her regicide, you must now take on the role of the Sandfox and begin your journey back up to the palace.” Metroidvania meets parkour The current holder of this mantle has been left for dead at the base of ‘Traitor’s Fall’ - a deep pit leading to the depths of the underground prisons. “The Sandfox - known as the Kasha’i - is famed across the land as the legendary line of faithful protectors and servants to the crown. If you’re curious about the game’s name, here’s the deal: a desert kingdom is under siege, and you’ll sneak around as a legendary figure, the Sandfox, to save the kingdom. Along with a new trailer this week (which helps reintroduce the “stealthvania” concept), they’ve set their sights on a 2023 release on PC. The developers at Cardboard Sword have teamed up with publisher Koch Media to launch their debut game. This is my first time seeing The Siege and the Sandfox, but as a stealth-based metroidvania with detailed pixel art, it quickly left a good impression. con bonuses don't stack so it would probably not be worth double promoting your skeleton archer ephraim.It’s nice to see a cool off-the-radar indie game resurface with a release window after years of wondering. My ephraim went cav>great knight>great lord and so got two lots of promotion bonuses. They will gain c swords/lances and keep existing weapon ranks and can also promote from a promoted class. In my case paladin duessel and berserker Joshua were the only ones who could do it.Īlso Aias' knight crest got randomized to a beserk staff presumably because he became a sage, so be careful on planning on boss drops.Īlso the twins promotion is dodgy and the plot promotion will always promote them to great lord but the promotion item itself will not work.


The desert chapter all but requires a unit to lure over both a paladin and bow knight at the same time, so a lot of bulk and/or speed is needed to not get killed. Knight Joshua could be alright at least.įor further tips on Eirika's route, the ghost mansion's deathgoyle is very nasty, so a slayer or bow user would be useful. Could probably do with hearing what more of your units are too, apart from Ephraim none of those units are especially essential, so it would be more useful to hear about units like Seth and Eirika. The loss of one of the energy rings hurts but generally unless you got a really bad set of classes it should still be possible to win.Ĭhest keys are definitely available from the shop in the port chapter. You miss out on quite a lot of stat boosters and a few promotion items especially early on. Started the same run myself recently and also didn't get any thieves.
