Coming from developer Another Angle Games and publisher Owlcat Games, Shadow of the Road is a story-driven, turn-based RPG currently in development. Having shared the alpha survey results, the developers are back to introduce one of the protagonists, Satoru.
In the game, you get to step into alternate reality 1868 Japan, a land fiercely divided by a brutal civil war, featuring a clash of magic and technology. Assemble your team from a diverse set of characters and test your skills against yōkai and steampunk contraptions. Check out our first impressions to find out more!
“We’re kicking off a new series spotlighting the characters you will be playing as. That’s right, they’re not mere companions to your avatar – they’re companions to each other, on a journey that has you, the player, as both guide and witness. Shadow of the Road is about your party, their pasts, convictions, and secrets, shaped by the politics of the era as much as the supernatural forces creeping in at its edges.
While the story and atmosphere are key to the journey, the tactical combat plays a role just as central, and the shadow of the first to come under the spotlight is already cast onto the stage. In this first entry, we introduce Satoru, whose quiet and steady presence carries real weight on and off the battlefield.”
