Those looking to go medieval on mystical forces will now get a chance to do so, thanks to Double Fine. The Kickstarter-backed Massive Chalice hit Steam Early Access today, giving non-Kickstarter contributors a chance to try out the game for the first time.

Massive Chalice sees players controlling the Immortal Ruler of the Nation and the various heroes that serve underneath. These heroes take on a powerful foe called the Cadence, whose powers are strong enough to send heroes into permadeath. Massive Chalice features a Bloodline system, which allows players to marry heroes and produce offspring that will carry the fight to future generations. The war will last 300 years, so plan accordingly.

Massive Chalice is currently available at a 25 percent off promotional rate. Check it out on Steam Early Access and watch the trailer below.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
