Hello mural masters of political dissent, an interesting title has surfaced from deveopers of Bastion and Transistor, called Pyre. Haven't found any mention of it on this site so far, hence my duty to fix this gaping void of information. The art style and music are beautiful, as is expected from the developer. Here is a gamplay video from the PS4 (?) version;
Short developer summary: "Pyre is a party-based RPG in which you lead a band of exiles to freedom through an ancient competition spread across a vast, mystical purgatory."
More detailed: "At the beginning of the game, your luck has almost run out when several masked wanderers find you and revive you from the brink. With your help, they seek to learn the truth about the Rites, a secretive competition through which the worthiest exiles can return home, absolved of their transgressions. As you journey across the Downside in the wanderers' custom blackwagon, you'll meet a variety of characters of all shapes and sizes, and learn what's in store for each of them should they prevail in the Rites. Your actions will determine who returns to glory, and who remains in exile to the end of their days."
Also out on Steam, will update once on to a more capable device.
Anybody here played their previous titles? Positive and/or negative opinions on them so far? I am mildly intrigued more than usual for this game. Love the exaggerated voice acting of the tournament commentator as he mocks you in a Hand of Fate fashion. Something tells me you may have to reach and fight him to break the cycle later on, or not. Just speculation so far.
