Runelords

About

Runelords is a cancelled role-playing game built for the Game Boy Color back in 1999. Saffire developed the title under Kemco publishing while adapting David Farland's fantasy book series. Players would have controlled characters exploring a dark world filled with magic and danger. The gameplay focused on classic RPG elements like leveling up characters, managing an inventory, and battling enemies through turn-based combat. Fans of the books hoped to see their favorite storylines come to life on the handheld device before development stopped. No community ratings or player reviews exist because the project never reached stores. This makes it a rare piece of gaming history rather than a title you can actually play today. The cancellation means we only know about its existence through old announcements and industry reports. Some collectors still hunt for prototype cartridges to see what might have been. It remains one of those intriguing what-if scenarios in the RPG genre. You will not find it on any standard game list or emulator library.
