Brave warriors, it is time to assemble and to die. That's my takeaway from the PC Gaming Show trailer for AfterQuest, which blends up all your nostalgia for the pixelly RPGs of yesteryear with the roguelikes and lites of… today-year. Your party's gonna die and come back a bunch, is what I'm saying.
The trailer gives us a glimpse at a series of battles that are very much in the OG Final Fantasy (and plenty of other RPGs) vein: colourful warriors facing off against ghouls and goblins and monsters in turn-based battles. We get a little look at the roguelite parts too: a tidy loot roulette offering us a choice of three different bits of equipment, each with gameplay-altering effects like stun chance and heal-on-hit.
