This is a sentence I’m very glad to write down: the primary Citizen Sleeper-like is right here! Or at the least the primary one I am conscious of (and the precise style is dice-driven RPG, no extra something-likes, okay?). It is known as Nightfall Punk, which mixes the narrative and mechanical framework established by Citizen Sleeper with the aesthetics and world of video games like Dishonored, and it is out right now.
The setting of the sport is a steampunk metropolis known as Dredgeport, a singular location extra like the primary Citizen Sleeper versus the second. It’s essential to discover this metropolis, coming head to head with gangs and corrupt legislation enforcement, as an ex-soldier, by accident marked as lifeless and shipped again to the town. It is usually an explicitly political recreation, a voice over within the recreation’s trailer noting “unions rising up” and that “revolution is within the air.”
Equally to Citizen Sleeper, it’s a must to stability your well being, vitality, and stress ranges, lots of which comes right down to how fortunate you get with the position of the cube. Such a mechanic is so clearly embedded in tabletop RPGs, and was so effectively translated into Citizen Sleeper. There’s a unusual feeling in having to wish for digital cube rolling in your favour, one I am pleased to see transplanted into a brand new world from a recent perspective. To not point out having to stability relationships with the sport’s varied characters, a few of whom might have questionable targets in thoughts.
I am significantly gained over by the ultimate little bit of voice over within the trailer: “break their legal guidelines, break the town, break away.” Duskpunk is clearly not a recreation that options a simple or welcoming world, once more very similar to Citizen Sleeper, however on the floor it looks as if one that desires to push its viewers to make a change. That is a fair funnier factor to push somebody to do when your capacity to take action could also be impeded by the luck of some cube. I suppose that is life! And that is attention-grabbing, so, Duskpunk has piqued my curiosity.
You possibly can decide it up on Steam now with a 25% off launch low cost, and there is a demo for you to check out too.
