Indie developer travels 40 years back in time, creating a classic action RPG based on Middle Eastern folklore

News

Translated with AI from the Russian original.

Classic role-playing games are still remembered to this day. Some bring them back in an updated format, while others try to create something new, yet in the spirit of those very titles

Islands of the Caliph has been released on Steam. The game is made in the spirit of classic 1980s RPGs and is based on Middle Eastern folklore.

During the development of Islands of the Caliph, Schmidt Workshops decided to abandon mouse controls: only the keyboard is used. This is intentional; this and other limitations create that very 1980s atmosphere.

Classics such as Might & Magic, Questron, Alternate Reality, and more were cited as sources of inspiration. Combat in Islands of the Caliph takes place in real time.

Islands of the Caliph has a free demo on Steam; you can find the game on Steam here (after launching, you need to press Enter several times to open the main menu).
