The developers behind the quirky hits Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion, Turnip Boy Robs a Bank, and Feed the Pup are taking a thrilling new direction with their latest project, Foretales. This narrative-focused card-based strategy RPG is set to launch soon on iOS and Android, promising a deep and engaging experience.
In Foretales, you embody Volepain, a thief who has witnessed a vision of the apocalypse. Your journey begins with this ominous foresight, and it's up to you to navigate through a web of choices that could lead to or avert this catastrophic future. The game masterfully blends deck-building strategy with impactful narrative choices, where every card you play can shift the story's direction.
You'll have the freedom to choose between diplomacy, stealth, or combat, with each decision sending ripples through a complex network of branching storylines. This marks a significant departure from Plug in Digital's typical absurdist style, embracing a more serious and atmospheric narrative, where a deck of cards becomes your lifeline against the looming end of the world.
Foretales isn't just about battling and upgrading; it deeply integrates resource management, dialogue, and exploration. Your choices carry weight, shaping the world around you. The game features fully voiced characters, a stunning hand-painted art style, and an evocative score by Christophe Héral, known for his work on Rayman Legends, which perfectly captures the blend of whimsy and melancholy.
While you eagerly await its release, consider diving into the best card battler games to play on iOS to keep your strategic skills sharp.
Unlike many mobile RPGs, Foretales eliminates grinding and randomness, offering a premium experience free of ads and microtransactions. It's designed for offline play and structured to encourage multiple playthroughs. Each run allows you to experiment with different combinations of choices and strategies, ensuring that every journey through Foretales is unique.
