Dark Envoy is a classic isometric RPG that draws inspirations from games such as Mass Effect or Dragon Age. Kaela and Kiros are siblings that travel by an unusual aircraft in a world where magic intersects with modern technology. The biggest advantage of the game is the influence of our choices on both the world we explore and the story we tell. We will shape not only the conclusion of the story, but also who we will become in the end: the tyrant or the savior.
In addition, we will find many battles in turn-based mode, fifteen character classes with different development trees, and an extremely original PvP module, in which one player takes on the role of the boss and makes life miserable for the other. Gameplay will also be diversified with procedurally generated dungeons. Dark Envoy promises to be a true RPG that has everything a true RPG should have. Who knows, maybe this production will be a revelation to match Disco Elysium? Dark Envoy is created by the same people who made the successful Tower of Time. Yes, it's a recommendation.
It's for you if:
- you're a fan of good RPGs;
- you like productions where your choices matter.
