Xcom Meets Fallout Meets Darksiders and We Get Graywalkers: Purgatory
Heaven, Hell, and Earth collide in the hostile realm of Graywalkers: Purgatory. Factions confined to this space engage in a bloody war of supernatural intrigue and post-apocalyptic brutality. Inspired by the strategy of Xcom and Jagged Alliance, players will engage in turn-based strategy in a Fallout-like environment. If you’re a fan of any of the former, this may be a game just for you.
Thanks to Kickstarter, the game is fully funded and currently reaching Alpha.  The team is hard at work making sure Graywalkers: Purgatory reaches Steam Early Access. And later, it is expected for console (PS4 & Xbox One). See! It’s already like Xcom.
About
The story happens on the new island of Purgatory, a place made up of displaced land masses from all over the world that have merged together. You play the prophesied leader of the Graywalkers, 36 individuals who are destined to protect mankind across history. Your goal is to unite all the factions together under your banner and lead the war to reclaim the world for humanity against the supernatural forces that have dominated the world.Â
As you’ll note, there’s a lot going on at once. We’re talking Sci-fi, biblical apocalypse, medieval and shooter tactics all in one.  And here are the key features:

- Table-Top Experience – game utilizes a new table-top RPG system
- Enemies – encounter creatures like vampires, demons, angels, werewolves, ghosts, witches, zombies, and many other supernatural enemies
- Resources –Â Scavenge for resources, rebuild lost technology, recover ancient relics, research new technologies, and craft objects from ordinary items that you find.

Let us know if you’re excited for Graywalkers. We at COGconnected certainly are. If it’s anything like the best turn-based strategy games, players will get stuck in that ‘one-more-turn’ mentality. Thus, addiction. Expect it first quarter of this year: 2017. Happy gaming.
