Depending on them there are events, battles, decisions and other things. Gameplay: You travel on routes you can chose to your destination. My only critique here is the translation (German version) which is not good. At the end you will have answers but also other questions (Set up for a sequel and other motives existing as well). I must remark that you will not get all answers immediately as the characters themselves do not know the reasons behind the events. I was invested into the characters, lore and world. The story is well written and interesting. The story has branches and it is not granted that all characters will reach the final. Those 3 and their allies will be deciding the fates of the world if they survive. There is the retired guard captain Thorn Brenin and his daughter who are forced into a journey, then there is the healer / scholar Hopper Rouley who is more than it seems and finally the assassin Lo Pheng who is a member of an ancient order. It focus on the travel of three groups as a new apocalyptic event seems to start (I am vague to avoid spoilers). After a flashback several hundreds years ago where a group of immortal warriors stopped an apocalyptic event called “The Reaping” by sacrificing themselves the story starts. It is set in a world named Terminus which has medieval technology and magic exist but not in large amounts. It is presented like a visual story and you have to make decisions that can have anything from minor to critical results. I did not know him before but this awakened my interest for his works. The story of the game is written by Russian author Sergey Malitsky. I must admit that many say and criticize that it is nearly a 1 on 1 copy of Banner Saga or even outright plagiarism but I say this is a good thing as the Banner Saga is truly excellent and the game has its merits. Also the art style, soundtrack and graphics are excellent and enhance the immersion. The mixture of this made a challenging gameplay with lot of hard decision. However it improved the gameplay formula with some great additions. It is like Banner Saga a mixture of a strategic RPG and survival management.
