We Love It's Guide to…

Balrum

You play as a young man whose sheltered life in Darkwood is disrupted by strange events and the woods’ hidden history. As the village’s troubles deepen, you venture into a larger, lawless fantasy world and take on quests tied to its people and past. Explore large regions, villages, dungeons, and hidden locations in a real-time world that switches to turn-based combat during fights. You can pursue the main quest or side quests, gather resources, and face encounters with a controllable animal companion. Spend learning points on attributes and skills to shape a focused or hybrid character. Craft custom equipment and other items, farm crops, build a home, and manage survival needs as you explore; your choices also lead along one of three paths to the ending.

A young villager leaves Darkwood to uncover its secrets in an open-world RPG of tactical turn-based combat, crafting, and farming.
