The creators behind the quirky hits like *Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion* and *Turnip Boy Robs a Bank* are venturing into new territory with their upcoming release, *Foretales*. This narrative-focused card-based strategy RPG is set to launch soon on iOS and Android, offering a fresh take on the genre.
In *Foretales*, you assume the role of Volepain, a thief haunted by visions of the apocalypse. Your journey begins with this ominous foresight, and the path you take to either prevent or fulfill it rests entirely in your hands. The game masterfully blends deck-building strategy with impactful narrative choices, where each card you play influences the unfolding story.
Your approach can vary from diplomacy to stealth or direct combat, with each decision creating ripples across a web of branching storylines. This marks a significant departure from Plug in Digital's typical absurdist humor, embracing a more serious and atmospheric narrative, where a deck of cards serves as your sole defense against the world's end.
*Foretales* goes beyond mere battles and upgrades, delving deep into resource management, dialogue, and exploration. Every choice you make has tangible consequences, shaping your experience. The game boasts fully voiced characters, a vibrant hand-painted art style, and an evocative score by Christophe Héral (known for *Rayman Legends*), perfectly blending whimsy with a touch of melancholy.
While you await its release, you might want to explore some of the *best card battler games available on iOS* to keep you entertained.
Unlike many mobile RPGs, *Foretales* eschews grinding and randomness, offering a premium, uninterrupted experience free of ads and microtransactions. It's designed to be played offline, and its structure encourages multiple playthroughs, not only to discover different endings but also to experiment with a variety of choices and strategies.
