Realms of Arkania II: Star Trail Remake Released

We nearly overlooked the pre-weekend announcement that Crafty Studios and UIG Entertainment's Realms of Arkania II: Star Trail remake has left Steam Early Access and is now officially available in full high resolution glory. These are the same teams that brought us the Realms of Arkania: Blade of Destiny remake, so if that struck a positive chord with you or you're a fan of Attic Entertainment's originals, you'll probably want to skip these gameplay videos and launch trailer to jump straight to its purchase:









Still here? Perhaps the game's premise will be more convincing:
The united orc tribes attempted to invade the region of Thorwal, but a group of valiant adventurers thwarted their plans during their previous quest. Now the orcs have regrouped and attacked other, more vulnerable areas – Lowangen is occupied and half the Svellt Valley lies in ashes. An elf ambassador summons the party to the city of Kvirasim. To unite the races of the elves and the dwarves in the struggle against a common enemy, they must recover an artifact known as the Salamander Stone.

Yet not all is as simple as it seems: As the party approaches an abandoned dwarven mine that may hold the answers to their questions, someone else makes it clear that not everyone in the country favors a cooperation between the two races.

Star Trail is a faithful remake of Realms of Arkania’s classic sequel. This hardcore RPG features dozens of talents and spells, distinct races and character classes as well as a challenging isometric turn-based combat system. Obey your orders and succeed in your quest to retrieve the Salamander stone – the peace between elves and dwarves depends on it!
