What is Bylina?
Bylina is a semi-isometric action RPG developed by Far Far Games and published by Digital Vortex Entertainment, released on April 20, 2026 for PC (Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG). It is rooted in Eastern European folklore and Slavic mythology, and drops you into the Thrice-Nine Kingdom โ a realm of enchanted forests, shadowy dungeons, and castles that feel lifted from ancient byliny epics.
You play as Falconet, a young bogatyr (Slavic warrior-hero) who longs to live up to his legendary father. A mission that looks simple at first turns dark: Falconet dies and is brought back by a mysterious soul that shares his resurrected body. Together they must unravel an ancient plot and stand against Koschei the Deathless before the kingdom is lost.
Bylina is not a mindless hack-and-slash game โ it expects timing, positioning, and mastery. Combat rewards careful study more than button spam. This Bylina wiki exists to give you full combat breakdowns, build ideas, boss strategies, and a roadmap for secrets and achievements.
