Forsaken Realms: Vahrin’s Call
Plenty of bigger titles are heavily promoted at all kinds of showcases. However, plenty of lesser-known releases are often stumbled upon when you least expect it. Forsaken Realms: Vahrin’s Call is one of those titles. So just what exactly is Forsaken Realms: Vahrin’s Call? Read on below to find out.

Forsaken Realms: Vahrin’s Call is a brand-new action-RPG from up-and-coming indie studio, Titan Roc. Based in the South-west of England, United Kingdom, the team over at Titan Roc is already hard at work on Vahrin’s Call, bringing their own passion for gaming to this original franchise. Though the team is small, numbering only in the single digits, this streamlined approach makes it easier to build a more cohesive experience for players.
Set within the high-fantasy world of Leyda, Vahrin’s Call sets players on a quest to reach Vahrin, a city ravaged by war. Stepping into the worn leather boots of a seemingly conventional mercenary, it’s not long before they’re thrust into an unfamiliar location and help those remaining to reclaim the city of Vahrin from a threat great enough to wipe it and every other human city from existence.

Citing inspiration from other RPG heavy-hitters such as the Fable and The Elder Scrolls franchises, Titan Roc is focusing on making a story-driven RPG with an overarching story that will span through subsequent games in the Forsaken Realms series, with narrative cohesion and choices that make you think, infused with just the right amount of humour from what I’ve seen so far.
Though the world is vibrant and full of mysterious oddities to marvel at, it’s not without its share of challenging enemies and head-scratching puzzles to keep players on their toes as they explore the handcrafted world within Forsaken Realms: Vahrin’s Call on their quest to save it from certain destruction.

Gameplay-wise, Vahrin’s Call features the kind of gameplay mechanics you’ve come to expect from a fantasy RPG, letting players choose their own combat styles in which to take on the wide variety of enemies throughout the game. Magic, melee, and ranged combat are all present, but Titan Roc are giving players freedom with how they wield their chosen method of killing, letting players mix and match weapons, clothing, spells, skills, and more to suit their own personal preferences.
Players can plunder treasures lost to time to further bolster their own gear or currency reserves and uncover forgotten secrets that will help bring the world and the story of Vahrin’s Call into sharper focus. Puzzles will be uncovered through exploration, which players will need to solve to progress in the game or hopefully find a shiny new weapon to play around with.

I stumbled across this game while browsing social media, and it piqued my interest. Looking into the game some more, it definitely seems like my kind of game to sink some time into when it launches. I reached out to the development team to ask if I could feature Vahrin’s Call here and they were only too happy to oblige. I’ll be picking up a copy when it launches and, time permitting, planning a review once I get through a good chunk of the story.
Forsaken Realms: Vahrin’s Call is set for a 2025 release, but no specific date is set in stone just yet. It will be arriving on PC when it launches, though no word yet if it’ll come to other platforms. Until then, Have You Heard Of This?
I created this website as I feel the state of the games industry and games reporting as a whole has gotten overly negative and full of clickbait. While I understand both of these are a great way to generate engagement, it’s a detriment to those gamers (like myself) that are just trying to enjoy games and not have to worry about the negativity of the current state of the gaming industry. I want a space where gamers can come for unbiased news that doesn’t rely on clickbait or rumours with a dash of humour and have the opportunity to share their passion for games.
