But the guild council, expanding the economy and logistics with sea travel, and allowing for a second base on a ship show that you know what makes the game tick. It's more important that the base game gets done right. Stretch goals like violent deaths or additional classes don't matter to me. My initial impression was that the trailer ended a bit abruptly, but this invites the visitors to read your campaign description.Īnd what you created there truly rocks! It's an equally concise and comprehensive (I know these attributes are normally exclusive) tour of features, that one by one, build a vision of a game that goes from strength to strength. Gameplay rules! Unless you have a PR genius like Swen Vincke, of course. Here is a breakdown of what convinced me to back the game:įirst, good that you had the guts to go against common Kickstarter wisdom and created a trailer that foregoes the hello and welcome monologue. Curious Panda may have found their niche with this one.Congrats for running a successful campaign! A combination which has proved popular in previous campaigns. The Iron Oath seems to appeal to fans of traditional tactical gameplay as well as more character driven narrative. The campaign is off to a good start with the team reporting that the core of the game and many of its planned features are already in place. Striking a critical blow on an enemy can increase a character’s spirit, while watching an alley fall in battle diminishes it. Characters require ‘Spirit’ to fuel their unique abilities, an attribute that fluctuates depending on their encounters. This provides a dynamic storyline each time you play.ĭuring the Mission Phase, players will explore different locations and engage in combat with the enemies lurking within. Powerful factions can rise or fall, triggering wars and unrest throughout the lands. The map features over 50 cities and towns with a variety of economical and political makeups that develop and change over time. In the overworld, players manage their guilds and travel across the 9 unique regions that make up the world. Gameplay is divided between The Mission Phase and The Overworld Phase. Forming the most effective party isn’t just about matching damage types. Even growing tensions between characters who dislike each other can lead to the team’s demise. Illness or injury could prevent them from performing at their best. Characters may be morally or psychologically opposed to the tasks at hand. This adds complexity when determining which class composition will have the best chance of surviving the missions ahead. Players can recruit warriors from 12 distinct classes, each with their own backstory and personality. The Iron Oath features tactical, hex-grid based combat. After releasing the finished game on Steam in 2014, the team began looking for their next challenge. This is substantially more than their previous crowdfunded project, Rhythm Destruction raised back in 2012. The developers are seeking $45,000 on Kickstarter to see the project completed for a 2019 release date.
Think of it like a gorgeously pixelated Darkest Dungeon where your choices have lasting consequences on the hearts and minds of your team.
The Iron Oath from Curious Panda promises a gritty and dynamic world for players to traverse with a diverse party of recruitable characters. Gamers who want a more animated turn-based tactical RPG may find just what they’re looking for with this week’s pick.
