Developer False Prophet announces a grimdark medieval-based tactical RPG called Beast coming in 2024.
Beast a Brutal Tactical Turn-based RPG Announced for 2024
Taking on a medieval setting, Beast, a tactical RPG that is war-torn by conflict and plague will be winging its way to PC via Steam in 2024. The newly announced “grimdark” title will let players unleash their inner darkness to take on foes.
Set in the Ottoman empire, a veteran returns after a decade spent as a slave only to find the homeland of Carpathian unrecognisable. Ravaged by a hellish plague and is also dealing with the reign of king driven mad. The trailer hints at possible love also now taken by the death and all is left is his band of loyal soldiers.
The Beast Within
The footage shown features in-game scenes developed in Unreal Engine 5. The setting is what you’d expect from a plague-ridden world that’s only making things much tougher to survive. But the game wouldn’t be called Beast without something more sinister lurking inside the main protagonist. Filled with moral decisions that will shape combat as well as an insanity system.
Combat is described as fast-paced and gridless. Shown at the end of the announcement trailer are a few encounters which end in some intense scenes. It looks to be a mix of Darkest Dungeon 2 and tactical games such as Mutant Year Zero. The blend of dark, medieval struggle and more gory fantasy horror elements makes it an intriguing concept. The cutscenes will surely up the impact of difficult decisions made in battle as well as outline the grim nature of this game.
Beast will unleash sometime in 2024 for PC via Steam.
