‘Frontier Paladin’ Combines Souls-Like And Base Building

At this point, Souls-like games have become kind of old hat. Developer Singular Scheme seeks to get around the malaise surrounding the genre by combining it with something new: tower defense. Frontier Paladin sees the player take on the role of a Paladin who goes on quests to gain the favor of the gods. On those quests, players can recover artifacts, recruit allies, and even gain special Blessings to help them in battle.

However, the work of a paladin creates enemies the player will have to battle against, which is where the tower defense part comes in. Players will have to protect their fort against local warlords, relying on the power of traps and turrets to beat back their enemies.

Frontier Paladin is scheduled to release on Steam in Q1 2025.
