Meet the Ravenswatch Cast
Ravenswatch thrusts players into the roles of fallen heroes, each reimagined with a delightfully twisted take on their original tales. Ever wondered what a cursed Red Riding Hood morphing into a wolf at dusk might be like? Meet Scarlet. Then there’s the Pied Piper, leading an army of rats in battle. Beowulf fights fearlessly with a mighty sword alongside his wyrm companion, while Mélusine wields water magic to devastating effect. Each hero brings a distinct strategy to the fight against the Nightmares bent on destroying Reverie.
Right from the get-go, you’ll have access to Scarlet, The Pied Piper, Beowulf, and the Snow Queen. But that’s just scratching the surface—discover a total of nine characters as you progress, with hidden secrets best revealed amidst the chaos of battle.
Selecting Heroes for Ravenswatch
Choosing new heroes to join the Ravenswatch is no small task. Each candidate must blend seamlessly with the existing team, given that they’re pivotal to the game’s design and mechanics. To maintain their spot in the spotlight, each hero needs to stand out through playstyle, appearance, and personality. Let’s break down what we consider:
-
Gameplay-Oriented: Every hero must deliver a fresh and distinct experience. Whether wielding long-range attacks, engaging in close combat, or sporting an unconventional playstyle, they must offer unique and engaging mechanics.
-
Global Notoriety: We inspire our heroes from tales known worldwide, ensuring they resonate with players globally. They must fit into the fantastical universe of Ravenswatch, steering clear of figures too anchored in ancient or overly modern tech-driven stories.
-
Captivating Backstory: The narratives these heroes hail from are integral, providing deep wells of inspiration for both character and gameplay design. Whether it’s iconic moments or memorable objects from their tales, we love reimagining them with a darker twist.
- Diverse Ensemble: A varied lineup of characters not only looks visually striking but also enriches the story and player experience. Seeing all these quirky heroes together creates a fulfilling "family photo" moment.
Anticipate More Adventures
Ravenswatch plans ongoing updates, so keep an eye on our future announcements via Twitter and Discord. And here’s an exciting tidbit: our first DLC, arriving free, introduces a dynamic duo of heroes—a pair needing each other for maximum impact in coop gameplay. We’ll keep the rest under wraps for now!
