Stand by your kin.

<span class="bold">Kyn</span> an unforgiving Viking action-RPG, is available now for Windows, DRM-free on GOG.com!



1. Be a viking. 2. Be buried alive. 3. ??? 4. Profit. That's the short version of an ancient Viking ritual designed to grant might and magical powers to the bravest Nordic warriors. Meet the Kyn, six rowdy vikings on a quest to fight off every single monster-like thing that infests their icy world. The thing about Kyn is that it's tough, real tough. It's a tactical RPG that's all about combat like you know it from Baldur's Gate or Icewind Dale, no frills attached. Enemies are quick and brutal, and though you have your magic - health is always in short supply, one wrong turn and you're down for the count. Active-pause? Please. While you can slow down the game briefly to catch your bearings, in this world, even time is a limited resource.

Get the game alongside it's spectacularly brutal soundtrack with the <span class="bold">Kyn: Deluxe Edition</span>, and bring on the awesomeness of Viking instrumentals.



In battle, death and glory - join your <span class="bold">Kyn</span> today, DRM-free on GOG.com!

When I read "unforgiving" applied to games (especially platformers), I read it as "this will irritate you". I don't want to be irritated.

Still, I see it quite often. Does the term actually appeal to a lot of people, or do blurb-writers just assume it does because it is quite common?

Great I have to regionally pay for a game that was developed in my own country.
Never mind, I'll check it out when it's on sale for 75% off.

Looks interesting! Does it work with DirectX 9.0c or DX10 by any chance?

B-Mehkind: I am first.
This isn't youtube so... eh?

Besides, what's the whole point of calling first? I mean, if there was something bad happening and you were the first to get to a safe place and say "FIRST!!!", well, yeah, that's something to celebrate but here?

Anyway... With all due respect for these developers i kind of got a bit of disapointment, i was thinking this was Icy being released here (you can see why i made the mistake, both with 3 letters). Uhm, kind of looks interesting but not what i'm looking for right now, maybe another time.

Yeah, it makes me wary as well. I find it tends to mean either "Your character is constantly much weaker than everything. Always", or "You must memorize the enemy patterns in order to defeat them, using their one weakness". Or both.

The game looks very nice. Will the Pre-Order bonus be available later as paid DLC, or is it like PoE where it is now gone for good?

Ha so now pre-order bonus in game content work against sales. For the rest of the game sales lifespan. I wonder if the devs will think if it is worth it for the increase in pre-order

What were the preoder bonuses again, some cheat items or?

Off-putting to me as well. Though this sausage-fest with pre-order exclusives had already put me off pretty solidly before it came out, so one less reason.

If I want Viking-theme frustration, I'll just reinstall Volgarr.

Bingo. Though they could always restore it for the Ultimate Edition, thereby encouraging fans to buy the whole damn game again.

Or they could have just released it complete. But who does that? I mean, apart from people with a solid game that sells on its own merits?

Looks like fun and really good for just a two dev team! Looking forward to trying it out.
