Your Dream Team Awaits in Outcast Tales
Outcast Tales, a free-to-play party-based RPG from Hardlane Studio and publisher Inner Pocket, is now available on Steam. Set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, the game challenges players to survive deadly encounters, make tough decisions, and manage a team of misfits who can cause just as much trouble for each other as their enemies do.
Players assemble a three-person crew from a diverse roster of wasteland wanderers, each with unique abilities and skills. However, combat strength isn’t everything. Outcast Tales puts personality at the center of its gameplay, allowing players to assign different personality types to their characters and see what happens when their traits clash.
A support-focused Technomancer might make an excellent Pacifist, but giving that personality to a Mercenary could lead to some unexpected complications. These combinations encourage experimentation while keeping players on their toes.
The wasteland has plenty of dangers waiting, too. As players explore its unforgiving landscape, they will encounter unpredictable characters and situations that demand careful decisions. Some conflicts can be resolved through conversation, while others quickly escalate into turn-based tactical battles.
Players can upgrade their characters’ skills and experiment with different party combinations to unlock powerful synergies in combat. However, even the strongest team can struggle when personal grudges get in the way. Every decision also influences the story, potentially unlocking unexpected solutions or creating even more tension among the crew.
Outcast Tales offers a fresh spin on the post-apocalyptic RPG formula by making party drama almost as dangerous as the wasteland itself. Since it’s free to play on Steam, fans can jump in and discover whether their misfit crew can survive the apocalypse without falling apart first.
