We've been quietly working on the next DG game, and now is the best time to make an announcement.
Der Geisterturm (The Ghost Tower) is a turn-based dungeon crawler and a spin-off to Das Geisterschiff. You wake up in a strange tower and a mysterious man commands you to reach the top floor.
What Der Geisterturm can offer to Das Geisterschiff fans?
- Expanded combat system: encounters against multiple enemies, combat stances, fire modes and damage types add new layers of decision-making to the game, as standing in one place and firing randomly will only lead to your death;
- The pilot is present in the game and can be hurt or killed if attacks penetrate the armor;
- New abilities: Booster and Shield offer new ways to survive through each encounter;
- Expanded progression: from collecting upgrades for your RCS, weapons and abilities to natural progression of the pilot by gaining experience from battles;
- A single dungeon with 15 interconnected floors that will challenge your survival skills.
The release is planned for Q1 2020.
Stay tuned, folks, the future is metal.
