Nyrthos is an action RPG developed by BeerDeer Games, a Czech independent game development studio. The target platforms are Microsoft Windows, Macintosh, Android and iOS. [1]
The game takes place in a fictional world, "Nyrthos", a continent surrounded by sea. Little is known about the actual storyline.
Nyrthos draws influence from the Diablo and Gothic series. The game's core mechanics will be similar to other RPGs (e.g. killing monsters, leveling, learning new skills, looting), however, Nyrthos will also borrow mechanics from other genres, such as giving the players the option to build structures and manage resources like a simulation video game.
The game takes place in an expanding world, in which players can influence the story development with their votes and actions. Nyrthos also features a day/night/weather cycle that strongly impacts the world. The night is dark and more dangerous, so many actions have to be performed during the day. The cycle influences many things, such as enemies, spawnable items, and events.
