Polish game developers Event Horizon (no relation to you-know-what, but still cool) have announced ahead of Gamescom their newest game that combines the likes of the Divinity series, X-COM, FTL, Mass Effect, and Dragon Age in Dark Envoy. Dark Envoy is a non-linear RPG that offers open-world exploration, with “an emphasis on tactical turn-based combat layered with lore and strategy”.
The sci-fi story involves the Human Empire fighting for dominance against the remnants of the Old Races. Amidst this clash of technology and magic, Kaela and Kiros aspire to repair their parents’ broken airship in order to travel the world, seeking whatever dungeons, challenges, and riches may come their way.
The title focuses on player choices that affect the world around you, 15 unique character classes, as well as solo and two player co-op. On top of that, Dark Envoy features a mode called Player vs World, where Player 2 acts as the final boss seeking to destroy Player 1 before they become too powerful.
Dark Envoy is coming to PC via Steam, PS4, and Xbox One late 2020, but you can check out a hands-on demo at Gamescom if you’re so lucky to attend.
