On Steam, you can currently play the demo of a new dungeon crawler. It brings fresh air to the genre with its mix of RPG action and tactical gameplay.
Which game is this about? Escape The Mad Empire is a new group-based rogue-like dungeon crawler on Steam. You can currently play the demo there. However, a release date is not yet known.
The game is published by Paradox, which has released games like Stellaris, Crusader Kings, and Cities Skylines 2 in recent years.
The trailer already shows you plenty of gameplay, impressing with charming pixel graphics and good effects:
What to expect: As seen in the trailer, you will face challenges in Escape The Mad Empire with a group made up of several heroes. The game promises a variety of them with different classes and talents.
Your goal is to keep your heroes alive, carve a path through monsters and enemies, and keep an eye on your resources to continuously expand your base.
To achieve these goals, the developers promise some interesting features that will make Escape The Mad Empire an exciting dungeon crawler:
- A real-time pause system allows you – even in the middle of combat – to utilize the potential of your individual heroes and develop and implement complex strategies.
- In combat, you will use your environment. Hazards like oil, fire, and poison can be used to your advantage, for example, by using explosive barrels as a weapon or, as seen in the trailer, pushing your enemies into the abyss.
- Large hordes of enemies or boss foes await you in the dungeons, as well as rewards.
- Various artifacts strengthen your group but can also lead to the death of heroes if used recklessly.
Your decisions play a significant role. How you explore the areas, how you set up your group, and how you use them in battle can already determine victory or defeat. However, Escape The Mad Empire promises that you can learn from every mistake, and with new tactics, you can eventually master every challenge.
Escape The Mad Empire is particularly interesting due to its mix of fast RPG gameplay and the option to approach things more tactically. This gives the game a fresh change in the dungeon crawler genre. For fans of this genre, it might be worth keeping an eye on Escape The Mad Empire.
