Our new PC video game The Captives has been coming along well so we've decided it's time to go into a little more detail.
What is the Captives going to be?
The Captives (working title) will be a top down action RPG for PC on Steam.
For each chapter of the game you will create and customize a new character, both visually and in playstyle. The chapter will follow the story of that character as they converse and battle their way through medieval/renaissance style fantasy dungeons and castles.
Once the chapter is complete your character will become an NPC that now interacts with each new character in their own chapters. By the end of the game the story will be populated by a whole cast of your own custom made characters.
Unique Playstyles
Each character presents a new opportunity for you to try out different builds and playstyles. Instead of being locked into a single build for the whole game you can try out different combinations of stats and weapons for each dungeon.
Maybe you want to play as a nimble rogue, darting in and out of combat with a lightning fast dagger, or perhaps you want to play as a sluggish armoured knight with an impossibly massive sword that can tank a few hits. In the Captive's you can play both these styles and more in a single playthrough. This way each character will also feel unique, not just visually, but in how they control and fight in combat.
Future Development
There is still a lot of work to be done on the Captives but we look forwards to sharing more and eventually releasing the game for PC on Steam. If you want to keep up-to-date with the development, follow us on our Social Media platforms Twitter and Facebook.
