Rake in Grass teased an upcoming game on Vortex.cz in April 2024. Developers have shared initial information about their forthcoming historical strategy PC game, Bellfortis. According to the creators, the game is set in the tumultuous early medieval era, where the first European kingdoms strive to strengthen their power and withstand pressure from raiders coming from the east and north.
Bellfortis promises to combine tactical turn-based maps with real-time action combat. Players choose a faction, stabilize their land, subdue other rulers, and build a prosperous empire. The game offers multiple approaches: brute force or political maneuvering to secure powerful alliances.”Pavel Tovaryš from Rake in Grass describes Bellfortis as heavily inspired by games like Total War: Medieval II, alongside titles such as Crusader Kings III and the classic Centurion,” said Pavel Tovaryš from Rake in Grass. However, the game aims for a faster pace, arcade-style combat, and overall intense gameplay tailored for those with limited gaming hours.
Despite its historical inspiration, developers approach the subject with creative freedom, focusing primarily on enjoyable, entertaining, and slightly offbeat gameplay characteristic of Rake in Grass titles.The project is currently halfway through development, with current materials still needing to be representative of the final product. Bellfortis is set to launch in Early Access on Steam later this year, with a full release expected in the first quarter of the following year.
