Poland-based developer Covenant.dev's debut title, the dark fantasy strategy game Gord, has received a new gameplay trailer today. It provides a glimpse of the game's universe as well as its mechanics:

​

Created by a team that includes former Frostpunk and The Witcher 3 developers, Gord will see players command the Tribe of the Dawn and embrace the ethical complexity of leadership as they shepherd their community and protect them from invaders and monstrous beasts. They will need to oversee their citizens’ hunger, disease, and trauma, nurture their faith and train them for battle, while also expanding their settlements – the titular ‘gords’ – and embarking on a variety of life-threatening quests.

Key features of Gord include:

• Mature Dark Fantasy Adventure: Lead the people of the Tribe of the Dawn and venture deep into forbidden lands in a lore-rich, dark fantasy strategy campaign
• Build to Survive, Conquer to Prevail: Grow your gord from humble settlement to formidable fortress while protecting your citizens from invading tribes, gruesome monsters, and mysterious powers that lurk within the surrounding woods
• Unique Sanity System: Keep a close eye on your townsfolk as everything from illness to hunger and the death of kin can have devastating impact on their lives and well-being
• Hand-Crafted Quests: Take on a wide variety of quests and random encounters that will lead you deep into the wilderness to hunt legendary creatures, uncover ancient secrets, and vanquish deadly scourges
• Powerful Incantations: Unlock a variety of offensive and defensive spells to tip combat in your favour, each with custom animations and potentially gruesome results
• Custom Scenarios mode with Procedurally Generated Levels: Take on an endless variety of challenges by creating your own scenarios. Customize your playthrough by picking a main objective, choosing your starting party, level size, number of resources, enemy types, raid intensities, and even the severity of the weather!

Gord will launch this summer on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam).

Looks kind of nice... but I always tend to look at anything with Team17's name on it through nostalgia goggles earned 30 years ago on the Amiga.

Sounds like my cup of tea, but I'll wait for Steam community feedback before I decide I wanna try it.

It seems cool, but the graphics aren't pleasing at all, I'm going to wait on this one.

I hope it will be something really worthwhile. So far, all I can say is that it looks impressive.
