Eldrum: Black Dust, a captivating choose-your-own-adventure text-based RPG, is now available on iOS and Android. Journey through a dark fantasy world inspired by the Middle East, encountering multiple endings, diverse character classes, and engaging D&D-style turn-based combat.
Fans of the classic Fighting Fantasy books will find familiar territory in Eldrum's branching narrative, where player choices directly shape the story's outcome. However, Eldrum goes beyond simple text choices, incorporating rich gameplay elements. Explore a detailed dark fantasy setting, engage in strategic combat, and select from various character classes, offering a significantly more interactive experience than traditional CYOA stories.
Priced at just $8.99, Eldrum: Black Dust features stunning original artwork, immersive audio, and multiple endings to discover, ensuring high replayability. Experiment with different choices and classes to uncover all the game has to offer.
Beyond Simple Choices
A common limitation of CYOA experiences is their lack of interactivity beyond simple choices. Eldrum: Black Dust overcomes this by incorporating light TTRPG-style combat and other mechanics, a feature reminiscent of enhanced Fighting Fantasy books and a modern approach to introducing players to game systems.
With its original art, music, branching narrative, and engaging combat, Eldrum: Black Dust offers a compelling experience. While it might not appeal to genre skeptics, fans of CYOA stories and those seeking a fresh adventure will find it a rewarding experience – perhaps even an early Christmas gift to themselves.
