Deron Generally
Deron GenerallyA former Capcom production manager and Amazon bestselling author Moira Katson have teamed up to weave an ambitious tale of political turmoil in collaboration with their community.
Iskendrun’s collapse seems inevitable as the nobility continues to neglect the poorest citizens while pursuing an unsustainable conquest of neighboring countries, bringing the city to the brink of bloody civil war. Faceless evil looms, increasing tension among the people and widening the division between the city’s five political factions.
The fight for power won’t be easy, but it will be fun. City of the Shroud combines tactical RPG elements with classic fighting game inputs that result in intense, devastating combos that play out in real-time. Down, left, up, right – the game’s Combo Wheel draws inspiration from the traditional d-pad to promote think-on-your-feet strategy in new ways.
Players must choose their foes carefully, though. Future chapters of Iskendrun’s story will see political shifts based on allegiances sworn by members of the community, as well as their decisions within those factions. While it’s possible to revisit decisions and story branches by replaying the game, every decision has permanent consequence, as only the first play through of each player will contribute to the narrative direction of subsequent chapters
City of the Shroud will be available in English for $19.99 USD / €19.99 on Steam. Purchase includes the whole game, with each of the four chapters coming out every few months via free updates to allow time for the team and players to craft the story.
Chapter one of City of the Shroud, the real-time tactical RPG and social experiment from Abyssal Arts, will launch on PC and Mac via Steam on Aug. 9. A definitive edition containing all four chapters will come to Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in 2019.
