Critical Reflex has launched Outcast Tales: The First Journey, a free playable prologue to the upcoming rogue-like Outcast Tales by developer Hardlane Studio.
Players will journey into a wasteland full of dangers, beasts, scavengers, hunger and even stubborn personalities (the worst!) Players will choose three misfits with various roles, personalities and abilities to guide them through the apocalyptic deserts. Outcast Tales is a game in which your choices matter and will impact your misfits throughout your gameplay.
Key Features:
- Lead a Band of Misfits: Outcast Tales: The First Journey features four characters and five unique personalities to construct your party. Different crew combinations will affect how your team behaves, so experiment on each run for new narrative events and strategic synergies.
- Try Not to Die: Use turn-based abilities in combat to exploit your foes’ weaknesses, and keep your crew’s morale high out of battle to improve their odds of survival. If tragedy does befall your team, don’t worry: you can always start over with a new one!
- Fight Better Together: Outside of combat, narrative events and dialogue choices can change your party’s morale and feelings toward one another, shaping the story as you go. Build their relationships so they help each other out in battle, free of charge! Or let them go at it and see if your band of bickering bandits makes it out alive – some outcasts are outcasts for a reason!
- Precious Pet Companions: Travel with Chomp, an adorable lizard companion, or Awoo, a rescue dograt – just make sure to keep them alive!
- Twitch Integration: Connect the game with Twitch to auto-generate community polls, allowing viewers to influence event options, travel locations, and level-up rewards.
