The Lonesome Guild From DON’T NOD And Tiny Bull Gets World-Premier Reveal Trailer
Save The World With The Power Of Friendship
The little floating spirit Ghost acts as the protagonist inThe Lonesome Guildbut the spirit isn’t alone on the adventure. As players progress through the story, they’ll meet and recruit a group of six unique characters, each with their own strengths and areas of expertise. Players will be able to"switch seamlessly” between the six charactersto solve puzzles and overcome tricky challenges.
The Best Order For Playing The Life Is Strange Games
Life is Strange has some games that are directly connected and others that can stand alone. So, what’s the best order to play the series in?
Led by Ghost, the group of misfits will work together to unravel the mysteries of Etere, a world that’sshrouded in a mist that’s causing its residents to forget their memories. Players will get to know each of their animal-like companions, learning their unique features and motivations through tough battles and peaceful fireside chats.
Our Take: The Lonesome Guild Looks Like It Will Be Cute But Tough
It’s Like A Cute Version Of Hades
The Lonesome Guildlooks adorable with its charmingcutesy style and whimsical animal companions. However, the cute exterior may be hiding a more challenging gameplay than players might expect. From the little I can see in the reveal trailer, the gamelooks like it combines elements of other aRPGs likeHadesfor a dynamic and versatile battle system.
The game will utilize all six characters in battle and puzzle solving, soswitching on the fly will likely be essential to competent combat. It seems that it will also give you a chance to set up combos for some devastating and fun attacks. So despite thecozy aesthetics and wholesome storytelling, I’m hoping the game also delivers a punch in terms of gameplay.
Looking cute doesn’t necessarily meanThe Lonesome Guildwon’t be a challenging ride for action RPG fans. Although this title might be different from what fans ofLife Is Strangestudio DON’T NOD have come to expect, the project from indie developer Tiny Bull certainly looks promising.
