New RPG Forge of the Fae has smahed its crowdfunding goal and is shaping up to be a huge success for developer Datadyne LLC. The new trailer shows off the incredible pixel art visuals and the traditional turn-based combat as well as the exploration world. It is similar in look to the recent Sea of Stars which was a big hit with fans of 16-bit RPG titles from the 90s.

Set in a world inspired by 1800s Ireland, Forge of the Fae plunges players into a beautifully crafted narrative where humans and fae conflict. As an ancient power awakens and tensions rise, players will follow the journey of Fiora, a young inventor, as she uncovers the secrets of her world while navigating a complex mystery and discovering who she can become. Decisions made will influence the outcome, giving players control over the story’s direction and creating a more personal experience.

Forge of the Fae is currently in development for PC, with the Steam page now live, but there are plans for it to be ported to consoles in the future. The only bad news is that the game is still some way from being finsinhed with a scheduled release date for 2026. Those wanting to get an early taste can try a demo now before supporting the project. There are several tiers to support with those getting in on the action early with the chance to appear as one of the NPC or design an enemy.
