Ballads of Hongye is a unique city builder with survival and roguelike elements. You must face the challenges to expand the land, secure economic prosperity through excellent planning and mitigate disasters with your advisers, build your city from randomly generated plans and unlock new talents. But as you play, you will meet characters with a dark past that will allow you to peek through the secret history of Hongye, and discover a web of lies and schemes that forced these lands to suffer. Can you be victorious against all odds, or will you perish just like others that came before you? Hongye is calling to you, Magistrate, will you answer?
Developing Ballads of Hongye for a year and a half so far and after several alpha tests in April and June as well as a playable demo during the Steam Next-fest, Ballads of Hongye team thrilled to invite you all to the last playtest before their release.
