About Bloodstone: An Epic Dwarven Tale

Bloodstone: An Epic Dwarven Tale shares its technical foundation and core mechanics with the third Magic Candle title, serving as a narrative prequel to that series. The player controls a protagonist whose clan has been assaulted by the Taldor, a malevolent goblin-like force.

Key objectives involve gathering a party, reconciling the divided Northern and Southern tribes, and securing the legendary axe Khamalkhad, all while opposing forces actively work against these goals. Exploration and turn-based combat occur within the same environment, eliminating the need for separate battle screens.

Some adjustments were made from its predecessor's systems, such as removing character fatigue from overworld travel.
