The Ballad Singer · published
Dear Strategy and History Enthusiasts,
I am beyond thrilled to announce that The Ballad Singer: Knights Templar is OFFICIALLY RELEASED on Steam today!
After years of relentless passion, hard work, and endless nights, our vision of a historical strategy RPG set in the Holy Land is finally in your hands.
A Message from a 2-Person Studio
Curtel Games is a tiny indie micro-team consisting of just two developers. Creating a game with this level of depth—blending Chapter Management, branching narrative choices, and an innovative tactical combat system—has been the challenge of a lifetime.
Every choice you make in the game matters: from assigning your Brethren to daily labor and managing European holdings, to enforcing the historical Templar Rule and leading your Order in tactical duels on the battlefield. All of this is brought to life by over a hundred hand-drawn illustrations by artist Federico Musetti and a score performed with authentic era instruments by composer Michael Firmont.
How You Can Support Us on Launch Day
As an independent 2-person studio, we don't have massive marketing budgets. You are our most important allies:
Grab your copy today and take command of your Templar Chapter.
Leave a Steam Review: Reviews are the absolute lifeblood of an indie game on Steam. Even a short review helps the Steam algorithm show our game to other strategy and RPG fans.
Spread the Word: Tell your friends, share the link on social media, and drop a message in your favorite strategy or gaming Discord servers.
Looking Ahead: Post-Launch Support
We want to be completely open with you: as a 2-person studio, the degree of ongoing support, balancing, updates, and future content we can bring to the game in the coming months will be directly tied to how well this launch performs. Initial sales are crucial for us to cover the extensive costs incurred throughout development. The better the launch, the more resources we will have to continue refining, expanding, and supporting the experience well into the future!
Thank you all for believing in our dream and accompanying us on this journey.
Pick up your sword, command your Chapter, and forge your legacy!
Deus Vult! Riccardo Curtel Games
