If you answer "yes), join the developers in BeerDeer, as their game, Nyrthos, might just be the right stuff for you, and watch on your own as the game uncovers itself.
The Game and its Features
Besides the typical RPG routine that orders players to "travel, fight, loot, upgrade, craft, and consume story", every hero will be also given the opportunity to buy himself a house, found his own village, manage it, gain more income resources and honor and in the end, be able to progress even further in the game.
The will to survive will be greatly rewarded, as the strong players will usually be the ones to uncover previously undiscovered locations. Still, all the players together will have the power to decide the flow of important events in Nyrthos.

Background Story
"Land of Nyrthos is being slowly consumed by an unknown darknes s. The council of elder mages embarked to investigate the eastern border, but has not been heared from ever since. 23 days ago, the pillars of fire have been ignited. The whole continent prepares for a war.. a war that was fortold by the ancestors, yet noone knows the reason of it or the enemy they will stand against.."
A word from Martin, the graphics and animation artist:
"We always loved the feel of 2D games and though it takes a lot of work, we are convinced that the result is worth it. In the flood of 3D and/or cartoonish games of today that often look cool but somehow generic, I believe Nyrthos will be a great refreshment for many eyes.)
About the Developers
BeerDeer Games is a small independent development studio located in Prague, Czech Republic. It was founded by two web and flash "natives", Martin Jelinek and Martin Pivko. As of today, BeerDeer is working on its first own original release, an RPG game called "Nyrthos) for PC, Android and iOS.
Our goal is not to chase AAA game quality or to be original at all costs; we always strived to create games that are accesible, beaufitul and fun to play, where we connect known principles we value and enjoy with some of our own ideas - or the things that we were always missing in other games.
