Larian’s “Divinity: Original Sin” Sparks Inspiration in “Stolen Realm” Developers

Stolen Realm, a game that draws inspiration from the acclaimed Divinity: Original Sin series by Larian Studios, has been stirring up the gaming community. As we put the finishing touches on Stolen Realm, we couldn’t help but be thrilled by the explosive success of Baldur’s Gate 3, which showcased the tremendous demand for games of this nature. If you’re an XBOX enthusiast yearning for a new experience akin to Baldur’s Gate 3, Stolen Realm might just be the game to scratch that itch. But what sets our game apart are the unique elements that enhance combat speed, offer engaging choices, and make it perfect for cooperative play.

One of the standout features of Stolen Realm is its synchronous turn system. This means that all players, as well as enemies, can take their turns simultaneously. This results in tactical combat akin to Baldur’s Gate 3 and Divinity: Original Sin, but with a significantly faster pace. In cooperative play, this means no more waiting idly for your turn while your friend ponders their next move. You’ll swiftly progress through your adventure, spending less time waiting and more time engaging in friendly debates about whether to tackle another combat encounter, explore a special event, or hunt for treasure in our diverse fantasy environments.

Speaking of cooperative play, we’ve developed a highly flexible six-player drop-in/drop-out system that seamlessly integrates with Xbox Live. It’s incredibly easy to join your friends for a few rounds and then leave again. The game automatically adjusts its difficulty based on the number of players, ensuring that you face an appropriate challenge at any given moment. Xbox has always excelled at providing friction-free multiplayer experiences, and Stolen Realm fits in perfectly in that regard!

Our approach to combat extends beyond just speed. Stolen Realm is designed to emphasize the core aspect of RPGs: making choices. Whether it’s deciding your next move in combat, choosing new skills, navigating attribute-altering D&D-style special events, or swapping out armor and weapons based on your latest loot, the game presents you with a plethora of choices. The highly flexible class system allows you to mix and match abilities from any class-tree, resulting in truly creative character builds. With over 300 skills and 700 unique items, such as the formidable Abbadon the Soul Crusher and the cursed sword known as The Bloodletter, the possibilities for customization are endless. Your choices have a tangible impact on your character and adventure, ensuring that you’re constantly engaged in making meaningful decisions.

When it comes to choice, we’ve gone above and beyond to provide various modes to suit different playstyles. Stolen Realm offers a full campaign with six difficulty levels, a hardcore mode for those seeking a challenge with permanent death consequences, and even a roguelike mode. In roguelike mode, each battle grants you a level up and presents a set of random skills and items, ensuring that every run is unique. Even if you fail, each attempt contributes towards unlocking new characters and passive skills for future runs.

On behalf of the team, I want to express our gratitude to you for taking the time to learn about our game. We also extend our appreciation to our incredible community for their invaluable feedback, which has helped shape Stolen Realm into a better game. And let’s not forget the streamers like Sacriel, Shroud, Anthony_Kongphan, Strippin, Sequisha, Fairlight_Excalibur, and countless others who have championed our debut game created by a small team. We hope that our words have ignited your excitement to immerse yourself in Stolen Realm with your friends. Embark on your adventure now, available on PC and Xbox!
