Trials of Fire burns fully this April, when the game leaves early access
After being in early access for a little over 18 months, Whatboy Games have announced that Trials of Fire, their combination card game and rogue-like, will release in full on April 9. Check out the release date trailer below, it is a good one.
This has been a game that I have been watching since I got the chance to check it out with the founders of Whatboy Games, back at E3 2019. The gameplay hook is simple, explore the world and try not to die, but how you advance is up to you.
Here are some of the key features the game is offering:
A new kind of deck-driven combat. Tactical, turn-based battles on hex-based maps combine party tactics, positional play and deck-building skill. Optimise each Hero’s capabilities by taking advantage of powerful card synergies and by combining Heroes’ individual skills and
Game-changing loot and limitless combinations. Players are able to build out their party with any combination of nine unique character classes. Equip their Heroes with over 200 unique items and over 320 upgradeable Skill Cards. Every run will be different.
A vast and varied wasteland. Players traverse an immense overworld filled with combat and narrative encounters, choosing their own path and defining their own adventure as they search and fight for resources critical to their survival.
Play your way. Six different game modes and customisable quests allow gamers to tailor their play session how they want. Blast through a quick-fire combat run, endure an endless survival mode or take on unique, daily challenges.
Whatboy Games co-Founder and Studio Director, Dax Ginn says:
“Throughout the almost two years of full-time development in Early Access on Steam we have been able to deliver on the complete content plan for Trials of Fire and also build a community around the game of insanely dedicated players and collaborators. Trials of Fire would not be the game that it is today without the incredible support we've received from gamers around the world. We'll be forever grateful for their feedback and help in shaping and improving the game to where it is now at full launch.”
The game officially releases on April 9, but if you want to get stuck into the game now, you can do so via the Early Access Version on Steam.
