Independent developer Skyshine Games has announced a partnership with indie game publisher Versus Evil to bring post-apocalyptic roguelike RPG Bedlam to PC this summer.
The game was funded by Kickstarter back in October, raising $166,540.
One of the key attractions of the game is its utilisation of Stoic’s Banner Saga engine.
“Since going through a pretty amazing Kickstarter experience we’ve been hard at work bringing Bedlam to life and finding the right partner to take the game to all of the players that have supported us along the way,” said John Mueller, art director, Skyshine games. “The Banner Saga team at Stoic have given us some great support and advice and having seen the great partnership they enjoyed with Versus Evil it seems the natural choice to work with them on Bedlam.”
The game’s blurb reads: “Centuries in the future, mankind’s quantum advancements have been inevitably overcome by consumerism, greed and war. The resulting catastrophic clash of beliefs and scientific fusions have ravaged the planet, leaving most of the planet a toxic snarl of scorched earth called Bedlam.
“The colossal megatropolis of Byzantine is one of the few remaining bastions of civilization and it is here where the game BEDLAM begins. As the last remaining Mechanic and pilot of Boneshaker, the colossal Dozer with its ten-thousand ton engines, players are responsible for transporting passengers through the vast expanse of desolation that surrounds Byzantine, to Aztec City, the supposed utopia beyond the barren divide.”
Players will need to form a crew of humans, mutants, robots, and cyborgs if they want to survive.
