The developer of Bound by Flame, Spiders Studios, is set to release The Technomancer by 2016 on Xbox One and PlayStation 4, and will also have a PC version.
As indicated by publisher Focus Home Interactive, the post-apocalyptic action RPG The Technomancer is situated in a cyberpunk variant of Mars amid the War of Water, and has the player occupy the robe and space wizard cap of a yearning Technomancer whose future is debilitated by the mysteries of his past.
The role-playing game recounts an interesting story of the player who is escaping from the Secret Police, defying the harsh realities of The Red Planet Mars. Players will embrace missions that will take them through tribal groups, tragic shanties, and urban cities lost under ice. Finishing the quests will have a tremendous influence on the story.
The Technomancer will offer "action-oriented combat gameplay," four diverse skill trees, and three distinctive battling styles. There will also be crafting systems, companion recruiting, relationship nurturing with dynamic conversations, and armor improvements for the destructive electric-focused player and his team. Evidently the RPG will have up to five possible endings, adding a feeling of replayability to the game.
Focus Home Interactive is promising that dialog will assume a profound part in missions and change the story, relying on the choices the player makes.
Spiders Studios have been known for creating decent games such as Of Orcs and Men, a game that follows a goblin and an orc as they attempt to take on those pesky humans and convince them that peace is in everyone's best interest; Mars: War Logs, an action RPG set on a post-apocalyptic Mars where the human settlers last heard from Earth a century ago; and the 2014 Bound by Flame, an RPG where each soldier has the power to change the tide of war in a manner of their own choosing.
However, the last title has underwhelmed reviewers. PC Gamer gave it only a 54 out of 100 rating.
"The combat is fun in parts and the characters grew on me, but so much more of Bound by Flame is tedious, frustrating, and unpolished," wrote Tyler Wilde on PC Gamer.
James Knack of n3rdabl3 didn't like it as much as well. He rated it 1.5 out 5 stars.
"An ambitious project which falls woefully short of its goal at every possible opportunity," Knack concluded.
Let's hope this isn't an indication of what's to come with The Technomancer.
