Roguelike title 'Outcast Tales' gets free playable prologue
Indie developer CRITICAL REFLEX's upcoming title is the roguelike Outcast Tales and is set to launch later this year. To give players a taste of what to expect, they have launched the free playable prologue titled Outcast Tales: The First Journey via Steam.
Key features of the prologue include:
- 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.
