Two-person independent developer Tangrin, along with indie publisher Versus Evil, today announced the release of #Tangrin’s debut action RPG  KYN for PC. In this fast-paced #tactical #strategy game players control up to a six member party while they fight through a mythical Viking world. KYN is now available on Steam, GoG.com and GreenMan Gaming  among others, for $19.99.

With fast action combat that requires strategic thought, a detailed storyline and deep crafting systems, gamers can expect to be immersed in this Viking world and challenged to the fullest.

Kyn has been a long time coming. We thought we’d be able to complete it in a year – it has taken four and half!” quoted Victor Legerstee from Tangrin Entertainment. “It was a labor of love spent painstakingly crafting a grand tactical RPG. And it was well worth it. Kyn has turned into a rich RPG we are truly proud of and it will be a great escape for gamers who love to tinker with their heroes, fight tactical battles and solve the occasional brainteasing puzzles.”

KYN brings a beautiful, mythical environment to life through its rich story and beautiful landscapes,” said Versus Evil General Manager Steve Escalante. “The depth in this game is truly amazing, from the hundreds of items that can be crafted, to the highly customizable six-player party and the 20-plus hour story – all created by a two-man dev team. This title truly embodies the indie spirit of Versus Evil and we are happy to be able support Tangrin on their debut video game release.”
