However, what sets this game apart is everything that happens before a combat encounter pops off. You can shoot the occasional hazard for bonus damage, use items, and that's about it. Your characters have guns, some active and passive abilities, and in some cases, special moves (glove powers). The moment-to-moment gameplay in Miasma Chronicles is pretty straightforward. Of course, things get way out of hand as this journey intersects with layers of everything horrible that led to this wasteland in the first place. He's accompanied by his "brother" a robot named Diggs, and the two set out to master the glove, find "mama" and hopefully find a way to thrive instead of survive. Humans often lose body parts after coming into contact with Miasma, but creatures (such as frogs) can be mutated into intelligent, yet hateful monsters.Įlvis has a glove that can interact with Miasma, as well as a mission from his missing mother to breach a massive wall of Miasma and learn about his past. The world has been torn asunder by a substance called Miasma, a swirling metallic material that either kills or rewrites the environment in a way that almost suggests sentience. The story follows Elvis, a mechanic surviving in a barely held-together town in post-apocalyptic Kentucky. While Mutant Year Zero was based on an existing IP, Miasma Chronicles is an original work, held up by a cool premise, endearing characters, and a unique approach to the usual grid-based combat. This is a turn-based, tactical RPG that takes cues from the modern XCOM series with a heavy emphasis on careful play and strategic use of cover. Miasma Chronicles is the latest from Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden developer The Bearded Ladies, and it’s another step forward in the same genre. Thank goodness for video games! Let’s play Miasma Chronicles, a game about a world that was slowly suffocated by mega-powerful corporations run by grotesque, sociopathic geeks.Īw, damn it. It can be exhausting, living in a world slowly being suffocated by mega-powerful corporations run by grotesque, sociopathic geeks.
