The last few years have been an uncommonly good time to be a CPRG fan, with the likes of Larian, Obsidian, and others giving us some of the best entries this classic genre has seen in years. One you may have missed was last year's well-received (87% positive on Steam) Tower of Time, and developer Event Horizon has just announced its sophomore effort. Dark Envoy bills itself as "a non-linear RPG" with the Divinity series, XCOM, and Dragon Age among its inspirations. To judge from early screenshots, we can expect team-based tactical combat, a CRPG-style party system and camera perspective, and a dark, gritty aesthetic. But as with Tower of Time, Event Horizon is looking to "shatter long-standing RPG tropes and create something unique in the process." Dark Envoy will be "non-linear" in the sense that you will explore its world freely using your Skyship. You'll need to choose your destination carefully, as the world will change with the passing of in-game time - certain locations may respawn in a more challenging form once cleared, for example.
