Or a short range AOE weapon, like a blunderbuss. You could research for a weapon with a longer reach like a spear that is able to reach more than one grid and gives an advantage in combat. You can research weapons, but also skills and items. Next to finding items, you can also perform research in your sky ship. The legendary sets will give quite some bonus to whomever wears it. Although it wasn't really shown in the demo, certain elements of the environment that play a tactical role during combat are destructible.ĭark Envoy has item sets, including legendary sets that you can try to find during your exploration of the world. There is quite some information that can be shown about each of the characters during combat, but if you don't like that, you can turn it off to reduce the amount of information shown. The damage done is relative to the level of the character that initiated the status. Participants in combat also have statuses, like burning, poisoned, stunned, etc. Using such an ability comes at the cost of one action point. A melee ability for a fighter usually has a short range, whereas the dash ability has a medium range and an ability involving a gun usually has a longer range. The abilities are depending on the class and they have a range. Each party member has combat abilities and 2 action points. As damage that is dealt reduces when a character is behind a cover or far away you could decide to place your weaker characters, like the mage, behind a cover and the engineer, who is shooting guns, further away. During combat, moving will require 1 action point, regardless of how much the character moves. However, you do need to fight in order to gain experience and level up your party, so you do have to fight at some point.Ĭombat is turn-based and if you are smart you will make sure to position your party before the combat starts, so that the combat can start on your terms. So the best approach is to not take too much time exploring a location, but also not to stay in a location that is not that interesting and where the rewards are low. Time in the game is a precious resource, while you are exploring a location, time elapses and if you take too much time exploring, the next location you visit might become more difficult as the level of all the enemies in that location have increased too much. Once you do that you start the exploration of the location and try not to be detected, so that you can find out what type of enemies you encounter, in order to optimize your party for that encounter and lay some traps for those enemies. The sky ship your team is in, moves over a world where you can decide to inspect a location on the map more closely. You can recruit more than 4 characters, but at any given time you can only play with 4. You can specialize in one of them and become very good in that or you can mix specializations and have a more diverse character, but a bit weaker in each of the specializations.ĭark Envoy can be played with a party of 4 characters. Each of these will have five specializations to choose from. ![]() For that you get to choose from the four basic classes: a warrior, a ranger, an engineer and a magic user. Next to the NPCs, mercenaries can be recruited, who have no story and will fight for a share of the loot.Īt the start you get to create the two starting characters. Some of them are very rare special NPCs that are hard to find, but that players probably will want to have in their team. At the moment there are 15 NPCs designed using different classes. As they go along, they will meet other NPCs that they can recruit, each of which has their own side story. But unwillingly they are pulled into something that is much bigger than they are. They want to fix a sky ship and travel the world. You start the game with two characters, a brother and a sister. The setting of the game is a combination of magic and technology, which the developers have labeled as Technomancy and to help with the story they work together with Michael Chatfield, an American author of Sci-fi, fantasy and LitRPG books. ![]() By itself that is nothing special, but they have added some extras to this mix. Dark Envoy is a game that mixes real-time exploration with turn-based tactical combat.
