With its captivating blend of high fantasy magic and steampunk firearms, the upcoming tactical CRPG Dark Envoy has certainly piqued the interest of gamers. Set in the war-ravaged world of Jäan, players assume the role of a refugee adventurer who must navigate through a treacherous land filled with danger and intrigue. In addition to its immersive gameplay, Dark Envoy offers the option for cooperative play, allowing you to team up with a friend. Recently, the developers released a video providing a closer look at the game’s classes and specializations, offering a glimpse into the exciting possibilities that await players.
The Dynamic Duo and Their Choices
Dark Envoy centers around two protagonist siblings named Kaela and Malakai. In the game, players can choose between four classes for each character, resulting in a total of twelve specializations. For example, the duo can adopt the roles of a flashy adept elementalist or a gadget-throwing engineer, as showcased in the video. Interestingly, the game also includes six additional companions, each with their own unique classes. This means players can experiment with various movesets and skill trees, even if they have already made a choice for Kaela and Malakai.
Unleashing the Power: Real-Time and Tactical Modes
Dark Envoy offers players the freedom to engage in battles either in real-time or in tactical mode. The option to pause the action and strategize becomes especially useful when confronted with overwhelming flamethrowers or area-of-effect attacks. Conversely, the ability to fluidly dispatch weaker enemies in real-time adds a sense of excitement to the gameplay. This versatility ensures that players can approach combat in a way that suits their preferred playstyle.
From the Creators of Tower Of Time
Developed by Event Horizon, the team behind the critically acclaimed tactical CRPG Tower Of Time, Dark Envoy has generated high expectations. Tower Of Time received RPS’ Bestest Best stamp of approval, with its early access review describing it as a “huge, deeply developed, beautifully crafted RPG, novel in all the right ways.” Given the success and praise garnered by its predecessor, Dark Envoy is poised to offer players a similarly captivating and immersive experience.
Upcoming Release and Platforms
While a specific release date for Dark Envoy has yet to be announced, players can anticipate its arrival on the Steam and GOG platforms later this year. As fans eagerly await the game’s release, they can rest assured that a thrilling and enchanting adventure awaits in the war-torn world of Jäan. Perhaps by the time Dark Envoy hits the shelves, we will have explored all that Baldur’s Gate 3 has to offer, ready to embark on a new journey filled with magic, steampunk, and epic battles.
