A new text-based RPG, Eldrum: Black Dust – Text RPG, has arrived on Android. This latest installment 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 game introduces a class system, adding depth to the intense turn-based combat. It masterfully blends the immersive storytelling of Choose Your Own Adventure books with the strategic elements of Dungeons & Dragons.
The narrative centers on a drifter haunted by their past. After a misstep, they seek refuge in a desert city, only to find themselves ensnared by those they tried to escape. Survival becomes paramount, forcing players to choose between paying debts in gold or resorting to violence. The branching narrative allows for diverse choices, leading to multiple endings.
