A Day's Journey Part 1
...Who am I talking to? You three, obviously. Youve got an important mission today, so lets get on with it. Time for another day in the Wasteland. Lets see if it proves fruitful, shall we?
Nobody in their right mind would set out for adventure without assembling a party first. The world of Outcast Tales might seem brimming with total loons, and yet you dont see any of them traveling alone, do you? Your team members personality type will determine their base stats, as well as perks and disadvantages they might receive during dialogue and other specific situations. Do take a look at the attacks available to your character: one of them is a special and somehow it recharges other moves upon use. Do some attacks give respite to our heroes, somehow? Perhaps its just like when you take a break from your office job by moonlighting as a nighttime security guard or something.
You can also set up custom names for your heroes, which is a great way to make some of your friends real mad! Make sure you screen every party member before you set out. So what if all of half of them are good-for-nothing outlaws? You really dont want a person with a record in your crew in this day and age, trust me.
An eye-catcher, a brave if unhinged daredevil, and a hermit pacifist walk into a bar... As you examine the map, you realize you can choose your next destination after most encounters. Maps truly are the greatest invention of man. And yet, the first choice is made for you, so you venture forth.
You can also use this screen to set up camp and heal your party with rations
Alas, you are quickly thrust into battle. But dont worry just yet: all the moves the enemy is planning are displayed in the upper part of the battle screen. Thats right: you can see the enemys turn order, who theyre planning to strike and the type of attack they will use. Lets see how you fare with this information in mind. Many of your attacks are also tailored to these strategies.
You use your foreknowledge of the enemys next move and execute an attack that deals extra damage to any enemy focused on that character. After you exchange regular blows and set up a protection barrier, you use your foreknowledge to quickly deal with the foes planning to gang up on your pet. In the end, you emerge victorious, but one of your teammates receives some battle scars, while another receives enough experience for a new perk. Makes you wonder whose experience proved to be more valuable in the end
Choose carefully! Enough action for one day, eh? However, your encounter is far from over
You combine your personal skills with a pinch of luck and trip up the fleeing enemy. As your sarcastic back-and-forth escalates, the outlaw gives you a vial of his own blood as a parting gift? Wait, what? Apparently, vast riches await you in his village if you bring this token to the outlaws kin. Wouldnt the villagers beat you up if you come bearing blood of one of their own? Wait, thats the plan, isnt it? Nah, couldnt be it. A new destination is suddenly marked on your map, so you decide to make your way there.
However, you first make your way to a nearby settlement
Which apparently is hosting a tournament. Feeling exhausted, yet hungry for a distraction, you decide not to take part, but still watch the event. This boosts your morale, making you not only a better warrior, but a better comrade to your teammates, which will prove useful really soon.
Short on money, you buy some rations and continue your journey. The next destination might prove dangerous, so you decide to set up camp for the night.
Apparently our unhinged daredevil has a softer side?.. And what sort of campfire would it be without a heart-to-heart? Grown adults still do that, right? Apparently, the charming big guy really wants you to add something to your wishlist. You wouldnt say no to a guy named Big Buddy, would you? We've got to stop there, but this was only half of that crew's adventure. What will await them on Day 2? Fast friends, deadly enemies, or new philosophical quandries? Tune in for the second part of this entry in just a bit! And while you wait, join our Discord and Twitter and gather round your own campfire with fellow adventurers! See you soon! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2551970/Outcast_Tales/

Greetings, misfits!

You will lead a squad of scavengers on a venture across the wasteland in pursuit of profit, food and all sorts of cool stuff! Each character has a unique combination of class and personality, which will provide an unrepeatable (literally!) adventure.
Combat action breaks by short ironic events, during which the traits of the heroes are revealed, and your choices determine your own history of the squad. The pool of events is large, and personalities and classes can drastically change the outcomes.
Your enemies will be strong but predictable. You need to explore their flaws and quickly adapt to different enemy compositions.
- Each run, choose 3 characters out of 8 classes (some unlockable). Experiment with synergies and party compositions to slay everyone in your way!
- Every character can choose a personality from the 7 available (some unlockable). These influence their dialogue, battle capabilities, relationships, morale, stats, and overall style — but most importantly, they can drastically change the course of events.
- The heart of the game lies in the tough tactical fights. The enemies are strong, but often have flaws to exploit. Adapt, improve, overcome!
- Slay bosses… or sneak past. These large and unique enemies come with their own mechanics and storylines. The rewards may be game-changing — but are you in a good enough condition to take them on? Sometimes it’s smarter to walk past a fight.
- As you progress through the game, more options become available.
- Every node on the map offers a text event. A smart choice can grant you loot, help two characters form a bond, or hint at the deeper truth behind the events. An unsuccessful one might end in a disaster.
- Over the course of an adventure the party members will grow to become friends… or bitter enemies. Nudge their stories to receive unique events and outcomes!
- From cute baby lizards to passionate fighter-pilgrims, all kinds of characters may aid you on your journey.
- A mixture of post-apoc, Westerns, and sci-fi creates a relatable yet original world. "Firefly meets Douglas Adams."
- Try again. Most bands of misfits fail — this is a roguelite, after all. But even failed runs bring progress in the form of unlockable classes, personalities, and items. You’ll be better equipped next time — and the game’s high variance offers high replayability.
