Explore the Hexagonal World of FolkOrigin

In FolkOrigin, players dive into a strategy game uniquely crafted with hand-drawn art and set on a hexagonal 2D map. With over 2000 players already adding it to their wishlists, it’s clear there’s excitement building around this title. The core challenge lies in developing a settlement by harnessing the local resources, setting the stage for trade and prosperity against a backdrop filled with Slavic monsters.

Settle, Gather, and Prosper

Resource management is key in FolkOrigin. Each hexagonal space on the map represents potential opportunities for gathering 24 different resources, between which players must strategically allocate labor. The more efficiently the players plan, the better their settlement can thrive. Furthermore, units can level up and enhance their stats, ensuring that players have a steady stream of upgraded capabilities to manage unforeseen challenges.

Recruitment and Defense Mechanics

As you build your settlement, FolkOrigin introduces a variety of units to recruit—over 40 different options. This recruitment mechanic emphasizes the importance of well-trained and equipped units, which are crucial for defending your territory and expanding your reach. Players can also recruit more exotic units for a fee, adding diverse tactical options during combat with over 60 enemy types lurking in the shadows.

Modes to Enhance Strategy Play

Three distinct game modes provide varied experiences in FolkOrigin. The Tutorial mode eases newcomers into mechanics, offering a step-by-step introduction to the game’s systems. Free Play allows players to develop their settlement at their own pace, without strict time limits or objectives, nurturing creativity and exploration. On the other hand, the Campaign - Hunting mode challenges experienced players to confront ten of the strongest Slavic demons, blending intense combat with strategic planning.

From Brothers’ Dream to Reality

The heart of FolkOrigin shines through its development history, crafted by two brothers passionate about gaming. One handles all coding and testing, while the other produces the game's intricate 2D assets.
