What it is
Konung III: Ties of the Dynasty is a Windows role-playing game set in the Woodland, a fantasy land drawing on Scandinavian, Slavic and Byzantine mythology and history. As the era of the Titans ends and the Grand Principality's throne stands empty, warriors and adventurers contend for power; the Champion Sword is the artifact that can decide their struggle. The game is the third entry in the Konung series, following Konung: Legends of the North and Konung 2: Blood of Titans. Players can interact with objects, make distinctive weapons and armor using magic potions, and use a revised combat system with combat-item parameters and enhanced battle magic. The game also includes improved ways to control and protect settlements under the player's control. It is single-player, with Steam Cloud and Family Sharing. Developed by 1C Company, the Steam release is listed for Windows and was published by Fulqrum Publishing.
