Our hero can: Sprint: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40733687/ec69d406fb75f14d0460f0bcf87b193f3700b8ad.gif Roll under obstacles: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40733687/6e05c44bf6dd468a535912a7a0c3b76f4d1f0a2e.gif Roll during combat to evade: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40733687/70107cb4898b1c5a7f0f613f6a674ed21bc0b51e.gif Walk over the ledges: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40733687/83425a7a5b20cab244db283265f27b47b139c237.gif Slide on some special surfaces: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40733687/bd8c24ad3a52a28c08de7b25a2fca6c2ea520fc5.gif Farhad can use three types of weapons, all inspired by tools that stone carvers utilize to form their crafts. Lets take a look at it: Hatchets: Farhad’s signature weapon, dual-wield, medium attack speed and damage. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40733687/477b33da6cac7e48b8b8f094ab2e264f64f72663.gif Pickaxe: a gift from the temple of a goddess.

It has slow attack speed, but deals devastating damage. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40733687/adf34dabebc893b0038a480c6c1f975c3d50d4a4.gif Each weapon brings one special active ability with itself: The Hatchets can be thrown in the mid-range distance and return back to Farhad, damaging all the enemies in a specified cone. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40733687/6ae3d9b8d197f40d3b829bed124c873a549e319a.gif The Pickaxe is not an ordinary weapon, but a holy one that summons the spirit of a goddess to attack enemies in a circle around Farhad. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40733687/c73d4e6488262eea35ae95a0adbd851c0366bc1e.gif Sledgehammer allows the player to hit the ground so hard, that several peaks come out of it in a line ahead and damage all enemies in its path. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40733687/20d3d6da1574f77734f1b5b9a4ee3e4c2894b2e3.gif You can try it by yourself right now!

Best regards BCG Team {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40733687/65667c04cb3d63408fadb5a33c0081a00487bde5.jpgWelcome The World of Bistun!Feb 1, 2022 - Community AnnouncementsWelcome to The World of Bistun – a short presentation of main pillars of our game. It will focus on three main groups: art, story and music. Let's start with the art, and its first topic: enemies. Taking into consideration that The Tale of Bistun is an action-adventure game, you can expect to face many diverse opponents on your way. To make your task a bit easier, we have decided to introduce different kinds of enemies that you may fight. There are 6 types of enemies: Ghoulche, Parry, Deevche, Gariban Var, Velgard, and Guardian Deev Ghoulches mostly attack in numbers, they try to surround the player and then perform an attack. They are inspired by Jinns and are in a way equivalent of Goblins in the western culture. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40733687/de012d45d83cc415e2c9a04f217660f71cbef63f.jpg Deevches are tough melee enemies. They assault with their sticks and follow the character faster than other enemies. In Persian mythology and folklore, there are a lot of Deevs. Almost all of them are demonic, they resemble different kinds of wrongdoings. They have hooves, horns, and rock-tough bodies. They are kind of Demons equivalent in the western mythology. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40733687/7376b4ecce3f1147f9914311d29949972360e43d.jpg Parries float over the ground. They try to avoid direct contact and cast magical homing orbs from the distance. Just like Deevs, Parries are another sort of mythical creatures. They are mostly described as female spirits, that seduce men and kill or harm them. There are also beliefs that watching or listening to Parries will cause insanity and losing mind control. You can compare them to Witches in western mythology. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40733687/bdc478b45a0a522acf70d7dab97e5408758bddd6.jpg Gariban Vars are soldiers that carry a shield and a spear. They’re invincible, as long as their shield is not broken. They have two assault variations, point attack and spear swing. Garibanvar is the name of a special unit in the Sassanid army. They have real historical references. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40733687/a08387cf5b8984d3cdc07993130b1a15114d6ee9.jpg Velgards are another ranged enemy, that chuck rocks at the player. However, once our character reaches them, they will resort to melee attacks with use of a dagger. They are resembling people that mocked and laughed at Farhad in Persian stories. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40733687/4ec053c635f3ee4b97421b15aabed784816bdc2b.jpg Guardian Deevs are rare variants of deevs that are huge, slow, and extremely powerful. They attack with their mighty club. They can also slam the character with their feet. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40733687/2d438c304db4229afde1719bc8cbbe6f380b39ad.jpg Thank you for your attention!

BCG Team {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40733687/ea6f35134caa82a8e7c523beef2f60a40c5cec9b.pngLove letter to Persian culture in our new trailer!Nov 30, 2021 - Community AnnouncementsHello Guys! We would like to share a brand new gameplay trailer for The Tale of Bistun, a story-driven action-adventure game inspired by Persian culture in which players take control of the mysterious stone carver, with no memory of who he is, and traverse blighted lands to discover his identity and the source of a pleading, strangely familiar whisper. This new action-packed trailer shows some of the amazing, magical locations players will be visiting in the game. Besides the passages hidden on the mountain slope, or temple ruins full of dangerous creatures, you can also see The Revelations Realm, a mystical place that allows you to discover, piece by piece, the story of The Tale of Bistun hero, and at the same time be a part of epic events in which light will face the darkness. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJUqusYgC9Q The game plot is based on one of the most popular Persian poems, a tragic love story between Sasanian king Khosrow II and the Armenian princess Shirin. In some aspects, it could be compared to Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. We are also very proud to announce that Marc Thompson, known from cartoons such as Pokemons, Yu-Gi-Oh, or audiobooks from the Star Wars series is voicing a narrator of The Tale of Bistun and preview of his work can be seen in the trailer. His voice will accompany players throughout the entire journey, allowing them to delve into the amazing story presented in the game. The PC version of the game will be published by IMGN.PRO - with release date and other platforms yet to be announced! That’s all for now guys, thank you for your support :) Check out the new gameplay trailer and remember to wishlist The Tale of Bistun on Steam! You can also visit our Discord server: https://discord.gg/TMckWHFcvh Cheers!
