Rangedrifter

"Beyond the great plains and mountains, deep inside the forbidden lands, lies a dormant kingdom, untouched in centuries. Those who enter the vast ranges of its terrible curse, will forever drift along its unknowable, shifting paths. Running from horrible creatures, hiding in crumbling ruins, watching for lights on the mountain during starry nights. A long, solemn journey nears its end as you row the small boat across the clear lake, towards the barrier."

Introduction

Step into a cursed land haunted by the past and reach its ancient center to complete your journey through the forbidden lands. Immerse yourself in this atmospheric, turn-based roguelike and become the first to ever return from the barrier.

Features

• Turn-Based Heart Beat: This is a tense, turn-based experience where one rash step can invite disaster. Survey each situation, and carefully think about your next step. When you die, the game is over.

• A New Adventure: Each run starts at one of over 500 locations in the world from where you have to make your way along a winding, unpredictable path that leads you through forests, ruins, and dungeons.

• The Forbidden Land: Explore dark forests, sunken temples, and spider-infested crypts in a world created entirely by hand using the engine's built-in editor.

• Ebbs and Flows: Resources are vital to your survival. Venture into zombie-filled villages, flooded sewers and haunting temple-ruins for precious gear, supplies and food to survive.

• Fight To Survive: Wild animals and evil monsters would like you as their next meal. To overcome the dangers of this world in turn-based combat, you have to weigh all options and tools at your disposal.

• A Moody Place: Get transported into the game's world by its soundscapes and unique graphics, brought to life by the game's custom 3D engine.

"That narrow, broken path through the trees there. Snakes all the way deep into the kingdom." The old man looks at you. "Rubble and curses are all that's left there. Some other went there long ago. Looked just like you. Best you find something else." He grows silent, his eyes fixed beyond the trees.
