The folks at Chucklefish have sent us word of a new turn-based RPG called Halfway from an independent gaming studio named Robotality. It’s a turn-baseds strategy RPG that takes place a few hundred years into the future.
According to the game’s story, you take control of a small team of survivors faced with a violent invasion onboard the colonial vessel Goliath. As their leader, you must guide them through the dark and cramped corridors of the ship in an effort to reclaim control over the vessel.
Halfway will be released on Steam and the Humble Store next Tuesday, 22 July 2014 for Windows, Mac and Linux at $12.99/£9.99 with a -10% launch discount. Modding support will follow soon after release in the form of a campaign editor.
Here are the game’s key features:
• Tactical turn-based battles are at the core of Halfway. Use cover, position, equipment and skills to your advantage in your battles.
• Unique characters: Your team is formed of unique characters you pick up along the way. Each one of them brings their own story, skills and experiences to the journey.
• Find yourself in the middle of an engrossing story-line. Step by step you’ll uncover the mysterious events that took place and what it means for you and all of humanity.
• Mod support coming soon! Map and campaign editor soon to be released.
