About Fractal Odyssey
Overview
Fractal Odyssey is a modern Tactical RPG that keeps the core essence of strategy gaming intact. Players assume the role of the “Reader”, guiding the main characters through a harsh, icy world. The journey’s goal is to reach the capital in search of freedom, but the path is filled with obstacles, despair, and the unyielding rules of a twisted world.
The story is narrated by a mysterious Narrator, who not only tells the tale but also becomes intertwined with the characters’ fate. Players must fight not just for survival, but also to understand the meaning of freedom in a land bound by supernatural laws.
Key Features
Tactical RPG Combat with New Mechanics: Battles take place on grids with dynamic turn-based systems. Every action requires careful planning, and the dice-based damage system allows players to influence outcomes strategically.
Defeat Is Inevitable: The campaign is designed for repeated losses, but each failure teaches lessons and growth, making every attempt meaningful in the journey toward the goal.
MMO-Style Boss Battles: Bosses feature complex attack patterns requiring players to read situations and adapt strategies, creating a more challenging experience than typical Tactical RPGs.
Ember Resource System Adds Pressure: Ember is a critical resource used to heal, unlock paths, and upgrade characters, forcing players to make thoughtful decisions for survival.
Memory of Victories and Scene Skipping: The game tracks the best outcomes in each stage, allowing players to reuse successful strategies, saving time while progressing the story.
Shattered Fantasy World Filled With Legends and Mysteries: The narrative explores events after the world was shattered by the mysterious Lady’s laws, forming Shattered Lands, where each region is ruled by powerful Dragon Lords like Vyrix of Eisendreik, controlling the land with eternal snowstorms.
Deep Story About Pain, Hope, and Overcoming Limits: Players accompany characters who face harsh fates repeatedly while discovering the meaning of freedom and hope in a merciless world.
