Description :
Arcadian Atlas is a 2D isometric tactical RPG about the choices people make in pursuit of the things they love, and the havoc it wreaks on a kingdom.
Watch
your footing and mind the strategic vantage points as you traverse the richly
detailed pixel art world of Arcadia -- A single misstep on the battlefield
could cost you a friend’s life. Let the moody jazz soundtrack carry you through
a thought provoking & ruthless story of love, deceit, murder, companionship
and war. Meant to be a fresh take on the classic strategy RPG style, Arcadian
Atlas was designed from the ground up to incorporate more challenging battle
strategies, new & balanced job classes, and more cutthroat plot twists
that'll leave these complex characters' lives hanging in the balance.
Featuring innovative job classes, a rich character driven narrative, strategic
grid-based battles and a jazz infused soundtrack, Arcadian Atlas is a lushly
handcrafted 2D isometric tactical RPG that takes the rich history of the genre
and makes it fresh.
History :
Twin Otter Studios is an independent game developer started in 2015 by siblings Taylor & Becca Bair. After ranking in various game jams, creating their 5 hour indie RPG "Genesis" together & working professionally in the gaming industry as a writer & freelance artist (respectively), the brother/sister duo decided to make their work official with an LLC & logo.
Our goal is to craft lovingly handmade games with a fusion of modern elements & classic aesthetics that we ourselves would want to play. We have brought together some of the freshest & most innovative talent in the industry to bring you unforgettable gaming experiences.
Features :
- Hand-painted character art & a pixel perfect world designed by artist Becca Bair (Vidar, Dreamblazers). A labor of love!
- Turn based battle system provides limitless strategy & challenges.
- Epic storyline and 3-dimensional characters fleshed out by writer Taylor Bair (Business of Indie, Planet Destiny) will leave you intrigued & attached.
- Grid-based tactics play style hits all the right nostalgia chords
- Retro-style sound effects & modern, chilled out jazz tunes by Moritz P.G. Katz (Fort Meow, German Wahnsinn) bridge the gap between yesterday & today.
- Never-before-seen job classes with zero filler skills will keep you chasing that AP.
- Marries tried & tested classic tactical RPG gameplay with new job class customizations & unique crafting mechanics that help evolve the genre.
(everything is early alpha content and is subject to change. Especially UI & battle elements.)
