Miasma Chronicles is aiming to be "bigger and better than Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden." At least, that's what The Bearded Ladies tells me ahead of the game's launch on May 23 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X. The studio made a splash with Mutant Year Zero in 2018, a strategy game which sought to take the turn-based fundamentals of XCOM and draw them into a new world – a haunting post-human rendition of Earth.
But Miasma Chronicles is something different. While the turn-based combat remains, this tactical adventure is incorporating real-time exploration into its play – giving you more scope and agency to explore a beautifully-detailed post-apocalyptic wasteland, and circumvent the corrupting Miasma which rendered the world inhospitable for humanity.
