Overview

SHADOW OF THE KINGDOM drops you into Elysia, a continent the gods have abandoned. Monsters spill through weakening seals, and adventurers are sent to face the Trials.

But this isn't a tale of saving the world—it's about being chosen by it. Developed by OCG K studio and published by 株式会社ワンコネクト, this indie RPG launched on October 12, 2026, and it's already making waves with its unique take on party-based combat.

Highlights

  • Real-Time Combat, No Turns: The clock never stops. Auto-attacks keep landing, TP builds continuously, and every strike shifts the enemy's hatred. It's like controlling an MMORPG party solo, but with the precision of a single-player action game.
  • Timing-Based Skill Chains: When one character fires a weapon skill, you have a 4-second window to land another on top of it. This creates a rhythm-based combo system that rewards careful sequencing and split-second decisions.
  • Dark Fantasy Dungeon Crawling: With roguelite elements and a top-down 2D perspective, each run through the Trials feels fresh. The game supports full controller input, making it perfect for couch sessions.

Who It's For

If you've ever wished you could pause an MMO raid to micromanage every ability, this is for you. Fans of action RPGs, dungeon crawlers, and party-based strategy will find a lot to love.

The lack of turn-based combat means you need to stay on your toes, but the auto-attack system keeps the pace manageable. It's also great for players who enjoy dark fantasy settings and don't mind a challenge.
