Question: How often do Team17 miss a beat? Answer: Not very often at all. They may just have struck gold with Batora: Lost Haven too. 

Batora: Lost Haven is the lates to come from the Team17 stable, as the indie champions team up with Stormind Games to send players off on an intergalactic, planetary action RPG. And we don’t think there’s a huge city crushing robot from another dimension in sight. 

Batora: Lost Haven is a game that will take Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5 and PC players off on an adventure as they get the chance to take in and explore a range of alien planets, each one unique from the next, as they look to try and understand the complexities of morals and how lines are blurred between the right and the wrong. 

Restoring the Lost Haven is the goal and you’ll do this by helping Batora’s hero – Avril – work through a whole series of missions, challenges, quests and more. Combat will come to the fore here, but Batora: Lost Haven is well set in the puzzle department too, with each and every decision you make forging out the path to your final mission. 

There’s seemingly loads to love with this one.
