A new text-based RPG, Eldrum: Black Dust – Text RPG, has arrived on Android. This latest installment in Act None's Eldrum series (following Eldrum: Untold and Eldrum: Red Tide) offers a compelling narrative filled with difficult choices.
A Fresh Tale in Familiar Territory
Eldrum: Black Dust transports players to the harsh desert wastelands, a treacherous landscape teeming with moral dilemmas and unforgiving creditors. While some familiar factions appear, the story and setting are entirely new. Unlike its predecessors, this game introduces a class system, adding a strategic layer to the intense turn-based combat. It masterfully combines the immersive storytelling of Choose Your Own Adventure books with the tactical depth of a D&D campaign.
The game casts you as a drifter burdened by a troubled past. After a series of missteps, you seek refuge in a desert city, only to discover it's a cleverly laid trap orchestrated by those you desperately tried to escape. Survival becomes paramount; repay your debts with gold or face the consequences through bloodshed. The branching narrative allows for diverse choices, leading to multiple, distinct endings.
