- A Tale of Two Bosses: the Ronin and the Kitsune - 18 December 2025
Talespinner is full of branching narratives, which mean you’ll encounter different biomes and bosses depending on which path you decide to take. In our demo, we’ve included 2 different mini-bosses and 2 bosses that you can encounter depending on the path you choose, so we thought we’d take a closer look at some of them in… A Tale of Two Bosses! The first mini-boss you could encounter on your hero’s journey as Gyokushin is the Ronin. Unlike many of the other enemies and bosses in Talespinner, the Ronin isn’t based on a yokai, but is instead a warrior with a deathly sharp blade that you’d do well to avoid. In Japanese culture, a ronin was once a samurai, a caste of powerful warriors who were highly trained in the use of many weapons but were arguably most well-known for their mastery of razor-sharp swords. Samurai who did not have a lord or a master were referred to as ronin. In some case…
- Choose Your Hero: Gyokushin - 27 November 2025
Before you embark on your hero’s journey, it’s important to know what your hero is capable of! That’s why we’re taking a deep dive into the first of the three playable heroes in Talespinner: Gyokushin, who is currently available to play in our demo. Each hero in Talespinner has unique cards and mechanics that lead to different playstyles, so it’s important to consider what strategy you want to follow when choosing your hero. Gyokushin is a seasoned warrior monk with a heart of pure jade, who is able to channel the power and fury of a dragon into his moves 🐉 Gyokushin is a slow and steady character, with plenty of defensive capability and hard-hitting attacks, but with some high cost cards that require careful planning to pull off. This makes him more suitable to those who prefer a calculated playstyle, where developing a strong defence and building up resources allows for big payoff at…
