With Peasant, Harakka Studio has set itself the task of creating a fantasy adventure in which, for once, you don’t play a hero. As the studio writes on its Kickstarter page, there are no prophecies, no venerable lineage, and no fate in the role-playing game. Instead, you slip into the role of a simple small farmer who is traveling in an epic and vibrant medieval fantasy world and is fed up with the arrogant and ruthless heroes. In Peasant, almost every action is supposed to have an impact on you and your environment. For example, cutting down too many trees can mean that you can no longer become a druid. There is also an extensive reputation system. If you stand up against the supposed heroes, for example, the public will perceive you as a villain. In the open world, you will meet numerous factions, creatures, mounts, pets, enemies, and allies. You forge relationships and pursue different paths that give you different skills. On top of that, you can craft powerful weapons and equipment to defeat or even tame epic monsters. Peasant is currently only available for PC and will soon enter Early Access.
