📜️ "blabla" 📜️

You are a wandering adventurer, looking for your kidnapped sister. But to find her, you'll have to fight mask-wearing heads, ill-tempered beetles that spin and toss you, catapult-riding felines that lob items at you, plus more crazy monsters with crazier powers in this hardcore, permadeath adventure. No two attempts are ever the same. Replay value levelup! Are you up to the task?

Voyage to Farland is a “console” roguelike game in the lineage of Japanese Mystery Dungeon video games. This means it takes the replayability of the classic ASCII game, Rogue, but adds animated graphics, a soundtrack, and a set of controls pared down to be easily remembered.

It’s also a very hard video game, and that’s where this guide comes in. If you play Voyage to Farland like you’d play a beat-em-up or hack-n-slash game, you will fail often and ignominiously. However, if you read through this guide, you’ll gradually become more skillful at the game and eventually clear all the dungeons and collect all of the achievements.

Basic Intro to the Game World

In Voyage to Farland, you’re a lone wanderer fighting your way through randomized dungeon floors with turn-based gameplay. You’ll encounter monsters who will do their best to end your adventure quickly. You’ll find magical items including pouches, scrolls and beads. There’ll be food to gather along the way and medicinal herbs to collect. You’ll also find shields and weapons left behind that you can equip to better fight off the hordes of monsters.

The monsters don’t just punch you either - some have very dangerous special attacks or abilities. The first Viperbeetle you encounter will likely teach you that, but when you find your first Vial you can get your revenge.

There will also be friendly people and creatures you’ll meet on your adventure. Some will want to trade with you or just have a chat, perhaps offering a few words of advice. You may even meet some characters that will join you on the adventure and fight alongside you!

What NOT to do!

One mistake that players often make is to dive headfirst into every battle the game presents you. Sometimes you’ll succeed, but more often than not, you’ll be quickly vanquished.

Instead of this, keep strategy in mind. Why fight those three monsters at once, when you can lure them into a hallway and fight them one at a time? Why run immediately up to that new creature that entered the room, when your HP is very low and you have a bit of Wormwood on hand to heal with?

Voyage to Farland is a tough-as-nails turn-based graphical dungeon crawler inspired by the cult-classic Japanese Mystery Dungeon games.

A homeless wanderer enters the forested valley called Iya Gorge - a strange land filled with mystery, danger and frightful creatures possessing fell powers. In search of a lost sister, the wanderer takes on challenges in forests, dungeons, and caverns to defeat an evil witch who has kidnapped the local children.

But completing that quest is just the start, for beyond it lies the more daunting task, embarking on The Path of No Return, a brutal trail through catacombs and treacherous lands to reach the mythical place known to locals simply as "Farland".

There, a fascinating surprise awaits our undaunted adventurer...

Highlights include procedural generation, emergent puzzles and a unique "kimokawa" (cute but creepy) art style to offer indie fans a game inspired by the hardcore 16-bit golden age of gaming.

📕 Description [fr]

Un roguelike graphique de type médiéval fantastique au style "Donjon mystère", par le studio Peculiar Games (Patrick Casey).
Il utilise la bibliothèque Slick 2D (permettant d'accélérer le développement de jeux 2D en Java). En Java.

Voyage to Farland est un roguelike médiéval fantastique de type dungeon crawler et au style "Donjon mystère" - amusant mais difficile, dans lequel le joueur incarne un vagabond entrant dans la vallée boisée de Lya Gorge - une terre étrange remplie de mystère, de danger et de créatures effroyables possédant des pouvoirs maléfiques. A la recherche de sa sœur disparue, il s'aventure dans les forêts, les sous-terrains et les cavernes pour vaincre la sorcière maléfique qui a enlevé les enfants de la région.

Le jeu avait initialement été développé pour Nintendo DS et Android, puis adapté pour PC et Linux (via la bibliothèque Slick 2D).

Un vagabond sans-abri entre dans la vallée boisée dénommée Lya Gorge - une terre étrange remplie de mystère, de danger et de créatures effroyables possédant des pouvoirs maléfiques. A la recherche d'une sœur disparue, le vagabond s'aventure dans les forêts, les sous-terrains et les cavernes pour vaincre la sorcière maléfique qui a enlevé les enfants de la région.

Mais l'achèvement de cette quête n'est que le début, car au-delà, la tâche qui l'attend est plus ardue, s'engageant sur le "The Path of No Return" (NdT : le chemin de non-retour), une piste brutale à travers les catacombes et les terres perfides pour atteindre le lieu mythique connu par les habitants simplement comme "Farland".

Là, une surprise fascinante attend notre intrépide aventurier ...

Quelques points caractéristiques : une génération procédurale, des puzzles émergents et un style graphique "kimokawa" unique (mignon mais effrayant) pour offrir aux fans indie un jeu inspiré par l'âge d'or du jeu vidéo 16-bit.
