A new text-based RPG, Eldrum: Black Dust – Text RPG, has arrived on Android. This latest entry in Act None's Eldrum series (following Eldrum: Untold and Eldrum: Red Tide) offers a compelling narrative and challenging choices.
A Fresh Story in Familiar Territory?
Eldrum: Black Dust plunges players into the treacherous desert wastelands. This arid landscape is rife with betrayal, moral quandaries, and unforgiving debt collectors. While some familiar factions appear, the setting and storyline are entirely new.
Unlike its predecessors, this installment introduces a class system, adding depth to the intense turn-based combat. The gameplay cleverly combines the immersive storytelling of Choose Your Own Adventure books with the strategic elements of D&D.
The narrative follows a drifter haunted by their past. After a misstep, they seek refuge in a desert city, only to discover it's a carefully laid trap. Survival becomes paramount; players must choose between paying debts in gold or resorting to violence. The game's branching narrative allows for diverse choices, leading to multiple endings.
Here's a preview of Eldrum: Black Dust:
