A Best Looking Tactical RPG Just Came Out Of The Sand
I’d like to thank Rui Castro and his amazing facebook page for bringing this fascinating open world set on the desert planet of Eldo to my attention. Sand Nomads is an upcoming tactical RPG set on an expansive desert planet where high technology and ancient traditions intertwine. Developed and published by PlayPanic, the game invites players to lead a team of nomads in a quest for fame and fortune.
As the commander of these wanderers, players will navigate a harsh landscape filled with bandits, mysterious ruins, and alien artifacts. The game combines turn-based strategy with an open-world format, allowing for extensive exploration and diverse questing.
The gameplay of Sand Nomads centers around managing a mercenary team, with elements such as permadeath heightening the stakes. Players can recruit from a variety of classes like Hunters and Daredevils, each offering unique skills and equipment. The game’s world promises a mixture of tactical battles, resource gathering, and story-driven quests that influence the game’s narrative.
Strategic elements are further enriched with a crafting system, a knowledge tree, and a class system for deep character development.
Sand Nomads is a coming-soon game. For now, we can only wishlist it on Steam. Below an overview of the game, screens and trailer.
