The developers behind Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion, Turnip Boy Robs a Bank, and Feed the Pup are taking a bold new direction with their upcoming release, Foretales. This narrative-focused, card-based strategy RPG is set to launch soon on iOS and Android, promising a rich and engaging experience.
In Foretales, you play as Volepain, a thief who has been haunted by a vision of the apocalypse. This vision sets the stage for your journey, where your choices and the cards you play will shape the story's outcome. The game masterfully blends deck-building strategy with narrative choices, allowing each card you draw to influence the unfolding tale.
You'll navigate a world filled with diplomacy, stealth, and combat, where every decision you make can ripple through multiple branching storylines. This marks a significant departure from Plug in Digital's usual absurdist tone, offering instead a more serious and atmospheric experience, with a deck of cards as your sole defense against impending doom.
Foretales isn't just about battles and upgrades. It delves deep into resource management, dialogue, and exploration, ensuring that every choice you make has significant consequences. The game boasts fully voiced characters, a stunning hand-painted art style, and an evocative score by Christophe Héral, known for his work on Rayman Legends. The music combines whimsy and melancholy to perfectly complement the game's tone.
While you eagerly await Foretales, you might want to explore some of the best card battler games available on iOS to keep you entertained in the meantime.
Unlike many mobile RPGs, Foretales offers a premium experience free from grinding, randomness, ads, or microtransactions, and it can be enjoyed offline. The game's structure encourages multiple playthroughs, not only to discover different story outcomes but also to experiment with various strategies and choices.
