Hey folks! On Monday we released our long awaited Content Update 7! Along with a bunch of fixes, changes and improvements, it also marks the release of our Editor to the general public. Thats right, you can now play the game in a modded environment and create your own mods or install mods others make! We have prepared several modding guides to help anyone wanting to try making their own. These span making new abilities, relics, encounters, maps, units, etc. If youre seeing this sentence here, it means the guides are not up as of writing this blog post. We expect to post them today (Wednesday), so when theyre up, there will be links here instead, so if you're interested in them, check back here later! Due to how the game is set up, some things are simpler to mod than others. Relics, skills and (by extension) status effects are for the most part a drop in and it works resource. They automatically integrate with their respective systems. Encounters, zones and skirmish maps are, to some degree, mutually dependent on each other. Zones require some number of encounters to work, and encounters that have a fight need to specify the skirmish map where the fight is, and each fight needs input from the encounter (if set up for it) on where to spawn enemies. The guides will go into more detail on each aspect of modding if youre interested. Other than this, we have a patch for later today that will fix some issues found at the last minute before the update went live and a few extra ones reported after, plus some additional VFX. This is about the time we like to either mention or write a whole blog post about the what next? question, the roadmap, the future, 1.0 release and adjacent topics. Good news! Theres one more feature weve got in the oven, the dreaded Endless Mode (name pending?). We have it playable internally, but we still need to playtest it and tweak it and see what the difficulty progression needs to be and all that stuff. Once were happy with that, well slap the big ol 1.0 sticker on the game and release it out of Early Access! Its really not that far off. After that, we plan on supporting the game with any updates the game can benefit from. Well be listening to every piece of feedback we receive and see which ones we can do to further improve the game! Just like, keep in mind were a small team and dont have the manpower to turn the ship (or the camera) in a whole different direction. Thanks! If you have any questions about either modding, our release date, or just want to yell at us for making a (great) game, join our Discord server and lets engage in some constructive discussions! Steam forums are fine too! MarkoP

The Hand of Merlin is a turn-based rogue-lite RPG in which Arthurian legend clashes with cosmic horror. Recruit a company of up to three mortal heroes and guide them in spirit on a desperate journey from Albion to Jerusalem. Explore a richly-imagined medieval setting on the brink of apocalypse. Trade with merchants, improve your heroes and unearth ancient relics. Search for the lost fragments of your soul, scattered across the multiverse - and save as many worlds as you can.
Enjoy a compelling story inspired by Arthurian legend, the Matter of France, and the history of Al-Andalus - with an unusual twist. Make choices in interactive encounters that change every time you play. Written by Jonas Kyratzes (The Talos Principle, Serious Sam 4) and Verena Kyratzes (The Lands of Dream, Serious Sam 4).
Master the tactics of squad-based and turn-based combat to conquer both human and demonic foes. Your enemies will be tough and ruthless; make use of cover, set up ambushes and coordinated attacks, harness synergies between different Hero classes and skills.
Carve a path across the lands of Albion, Marca Hispanica and Al-Andalus. Will you take a dangerous route, risking life and limb in pursuit of a legendary relic? Or will you choose a safer path? Plan and prepare. Negotiate, barter, fight. Tackle challenges. Suffer losses. Recruit new Heroes. Earn Gold, Supplies and Renown. Be careful: your choices are permanent, as is death. But don't tarry - evil never rests.
Use Renown to level up your Heroes, and choose between a randomized set of new skills or improved attributes. But choose wisely! Select skills with great synergy and balance your party for the road ahead.
As you jump from one parallel dimension to the next, history is reshaped. Different kings rule the land, changing the encounters, characters, and events. No two worlds are ever quite the same, and each journey will be unique. And should your heroes fall, remember: defeat is not the end, only a new beginning.
Seek out towns to improve your arms and armor, or stumble upon hermit artisans in the wild. With every day that passes, the world plunges deeper into darkness, and you will need all the equipment gold can buy.
From a peasant's humble luck charm to the legendary sword wielded by Arthur himself, items imbued with magical power are scattered about the world. Some you will be able to purchase from merchants and collectors, but others will have to be earned through acts of heroism - or displays of wit.
Rain thunder and brimstone upon your foes! Seek out and gather Soulstones to restore your power and unlock new Spells. Even if defeated, your spirit will retain all of your collected arcane knowledge as you jump into the next dimension.
There are as many worlds as there are stars in the sky. In each stands Camelot; in each there is a Grail. But there is only one Merlin, and his eternal burden is to stand against the horror from beyond. Each world that is saved is saved forever; each world that is lost is lost for good.
