7 aspects we improved to continue shattering RPG tropes

Tower of Time

A new kind of RPG awaits you. A story-rich dungeon crawler with innovative real-time combat that lets you pause or slow time. Tactical thinking is essential to succeed. Now with RPGlite and Permadeath for fast-paced game.

Tower of Time was a successful experiment for our team, so we want to continue challenging RPG tropes in search of a new, modern identity for the genre. [b]We gathered a lot of feedback from ToT players and we are going forward with the knowledge that you gave us. Naturally, our next game is based on this feedback showing the impact of our community. We feel that Dark Envoy will be as much yours, as ours.[/b] We want to keep pushing the boundaries of the classic RPG experience, but without abandoning what we love in it. Here are 7 examples of what we are working on to develop memorable and unique RPGs [img]https://scontent-waw1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.6435-9/185405674_4055992704465786_5363460716492696198_n.png?_nc_cat=111&ccb=1-3&_nc_sid=e3f864&_nc_ohc=tXZt5bxsdxYAX9xRADv&_nc_ht=scontent-waw1-1.xx&oh=397d8fe1944d2418c41d7f185267047a&oe=60CA9517[/img] [olist] [h3][*]Co-op Campaign Experience[/h3] The main component of Dark Envoy is a story campaign and we wanted to make it possible to complete it alone or in online co-op mode with another player. Games are so much better when you grab a friend to travel the world, seeking out whatever dungeons, challenges, and riches may come your way. Enjoy the story, search for ancient relics and forgotten places together. [h3][*]Non-Linear RPG Narrative[/h3] In RPG your choices should be [b]the backbone of the entire game[/b]. So in Dark Envoy, they reshape the conflict that has gripped the world of Jäan. Total war exploded as humans challenge the old balance and traditions of magic with their mana-based technology. As two sibling relic hunters, your actions may change the entire course of this world-splitting conflict.

These are challenging areas where the layouts and enemy patrol routes shift each time you enter. These dungeons yield powerful rewards and players will have to think on their feet if they want to attain what these unique spaces offer. [h3][*]Dynamic Gameplay Flow[/h3] Real-time combat with the ability to slow time or pause as you make important tactical choices where every moment can make the difference between triumph or failure. With a rich collection of companions — from assassins to engineers — and robust RPG systems, players will mold the crew and its two lead characters into something that fits their preferred playstyle.

You can expect well-known structures that we all love, but refined and more dynamic. We want the players to experiment and adapt to various situations: mix skill trees, boost individual abilities, and select classes and specializations that compliment each other.
