Hibera, Requiem for the Forgotten is a new strategy title inspired by the GBA classic Fire Emblem. It’s being developed by Bad Juice Games, which previously showed a demo at A Maze in Berlin. The same demo has now been released on Steam with some additional bug fixes. Hibera, Requiem for the Forgotten has also been inspired by medieval Irish culture and features “classic rock-paper-scissors” mechanics, according to Bad Juice Games.
The game uses turn-based grid combat with weapon triangle mechanics. Players will build their warband from scratch, recruit allies, manage limited equipment, and adapt to enemy strategies. Permadeath means every move matters. Hibera is set in a fantasy world undergoing a renaissance, so military technology is shifting to be similar to the 15th century in Europe. It is a particularly exciting period of history because a lot of different military technologies are all viable at the same time, and Hibera embraces them all. The classic swords and spears are joined by poleaxes, crossbows, and even arquebuses and grenades.
Hibera, Requiem for the Forgotten demo highlights:
3 Mission story: Following Maebh, who is setting out on a secretive mission to acquire an ancient artifact
Weapon Triangle: The classic Rock-Paper-Scissors mechanic, fully realized with modern additions
Unique playable characters each have their own story, strengths, and weaknesses
Armory: An eclectic collection of weapons, spells, abilities, and consumables allows for deep customization
Fog of War & Terrain: Strategic depth through vision and environmental bonuses set in a gorgeous 2.5D landscape
Inspired by: Irish culture and the Italian Renaissance
