Hello there! I’m Tomas Sala – solo developer of Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles.

Back in 2020, I released The Falconeer, an Xbox Series S|X launch title set in a hostile, flooded open world full of political intrigue, supernatural overtones, and skilled riders of giant warbirds. Now, four years later, I invite you to return to the Great Ursee with Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles – set 40 years after the events of The Falconeer within the same flooded open world.

However, whereas The Falconeer was focused on aerial combat, Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles is an open world builder that emphasizes freedom and expression. You can build towns, spires, and fortresses as hubs for trade or rallying grounds for conquests.

Demo Tips

Experiment in Freebuild Mode

The opening tutorial teaches you how to grow from simple wooden outposts to sprawling cityscapes in The Great Ursee. You can also use the freebuild mode, allowing you to build without the need to locate resources or upgrade any of your towers at will. This mode is perfect for experiencing different building techniques or simply embracing your creativity!

Keep an Eye on Your Resources

Bulwark handles resources differently than other builders – you must locate each resource type and link its extractors to the buildings you want to upgrade. Optimizing the routes your resources take to your towers is crucial for creating sprawling citadels.

Use the Right Captains

Scattered resources across the Ursee will require you to set up harbors for pick up and delivery. You will also need to hire captains to transport these goods for you. Make sure to bring workers out to the resources to upgrade the extractors and increase their efficiency!

Keep an Eye on Your Trade Routes

Defend your supply lines and pay attention to updates from your advisor, as there are opportunists who would rather raid your supply lines than scavenge for their own.

Unlock and Use Commanders

Commanders are powerful units that live within fully upgraded towers, providing useful boosts to your economy, defenses, and trade routes. You can recruit more commanders through random events or by expanding your settlement.

Use the Photo Mode

With Bulwark’s super flexible photo mode, you can control the time of day, apply depth of field and camera positioning, and even allow events and time to play out.

Finally, Bulwark stores every single brick you build and commits the action to memory – just click the stick while in photo mode and watch your creation build itself brick by brick.

I hope you enjoy the Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles demo, whether you’re a fan of The Falconeer returning to try your hand at creation rather than destruction, or this is your first adventure in the Great Ursee – there’s a restless world out there waiting to be tamed and built upon – and I can’t wait to see what you create.

Thank you!
