Check Out a Fantastic Trailer for the Non-Linear Sci-Fantasy RPG DARK ENVOY
Event Horizon recently released a new trailer for their upcoming non-linear sci-fantasy RPG, Dark Envoy. The game sees you take on the role of siblings Malakai and Kaela as their world, Jäan, crumbles. The game looks really cool and I love the combination of magic and technology. It’s a really cool aesthetic to me. I also am really excited that Dark Envoy’s campaign can be played solo or in co-op mode with one friend.
Jäan. A rich and vibrant world being ripped apart by racial tensions as magic and technology fuel the opposing factions that wield them.
Magic is the foundation of this world but humans, with their mana-based technology, are upsetting the balance cherished by the Old Races. Orcs and Elves once looked down on Humans, flaunting their superior knowledge of the arcana, but a self-proclaimed emperor threatens all they know.
Siblings Malakai and Kaela were raised in lands far outside the reach of this growing conflict but the strife has spilled into their lands, depriving them of their home and family.
In Dark Envoy, the world will change as time passes in-game meaning that events can unfold very differently based on the order of where you go. The combat is in real-time, but players will be able to slow time and even pause as you make tactical decisions. You’ll also have a collection of companions to help serve as the crew of your Skyship.
