This is the first entry of a four-part series I'm doing this month where I try out the demos of four very recent or upcoming turn-based tactics titles.
Alder's Blood is yet another upcoming turn-based tactics game set in a grim Lovecraftian world. Lately, following the popularity of Darkest Dungeon, we've been seeing a surge turn-based games adopting similarly dark, hand-drawn artstyles. Alders Blood is no exception, and that's not a bad thing if you're into it.
The prologue doesn't tell a lot about the story of the game, or even the game's setting. You are simply thrown right into it but it's not hard to get the picture. The game is set in a dark grim world, where lands have become barren and infested by an evil presence. Monsters lurk the land, and the inhabitants, the protagonist being one, presumably still try to get by.
Despite the word "prologue" in the title, it's basically just a very, very short demo that's just enough to showcase the very basics of the game. Other than the unclear stealth mechanics and bare-boned combat, the demo tells very little about the what's the full game is going to be like. Alder's Blood will be released on the 11th of April, which is about a month from now. For the time being, I think I'm going to give it a pass.
