Eldrum: Black Dust, a new choose-your-own-adventure (CYOA) RPG, is now available on iOS and Android. This text-based game immerses players in a dark fantasy world inspired by the Middle East.
Recall the classic Fighting Fantasy books? Eldrum: Black Dust captures that spirit, letting you shape the narrative through crucial decisions. But this isn't just about choosing your path; it features engaging D&D-style turn-based combat, diverse character classes, and a richly detailed world to explore.
Priced at just $8.99, Eldrum: Black Dust offers stunning original art, captivating audio, and multiple endings to uncover. The combination of branching storylines and varied classes ensures high replayability.
Beyond Simple Choices
A common limitation of CYOA games is their lack of interactivity beyond simple choices. However, Eldrum: Black Dust stands out by incorporating light TTRPG mechanics, including combat, a feature that enhances the overall experience and adds depth rarely seen in the genre.
With its original art and music, branching narrative, and strategic combat, Eldrum: Black Dust offers a fresh take on the CYOA format. While it might not appeal to genre skeptics, fans of CYOA games and those seeking a unique gaming experience will likely find it a rewarding adventure. Consider it an early Christmas gift to yourself!
