Earthlock: Festival of Magic Being Released As Games With Gold Title!

A Kickstarter funded RPG is heading to a launch via Xbox’s Games With Gold lineup, which means you can get it for free if you have Xbox Live Gold Membership in September. On the Major Nelson blog, they talked about the title:

“Snowcastle Games has been in full production for the past four years on their first major title, Earthlock: Festival of Magic, and it’s coming onto Xbox One on September 1st. Not only that, but the title will also be the first of four titles to be part of Games with Gold’s September lineup, with the remaining titles to be announced next week.

This westernized turn-based RPG, which in subtle ways reveals its Scandinavian origin, starts as a simple quest, but develops into an involved journey. Play as Amon and join several unlikely heroes to save Umbra, a beautiful but harsh world that mysteriously stopped spinning thousands of cycles ago. Mix up your strategy to beat your enemies by crafting ammo and materials, harvesting elemental plants, and customizing your characters’ talent tree.”
