Vaunted

OVERVIEW

The score of a lifetime hangs in the balance – can three cut-throat criminals look past their differences to pull it off? A story of bullets, bravado, and brazen lies unfolds across a galaxy of treasure hunters and crime syndicates in this sci-fi tactical RPG.

GAMEPLAY

A millennium since the fall of the last galactic empire, chaos reigns supreme. Mercenaries and treasure hunters vie for priceless imperial relics, exploring far-flung ancient ruins and battling ruthless rivals, monstrous aliens, and giant robots in search for the ultimate score. When three mismatched scoundrels return empty-handed from a disastrous expedition, the powerful syndicate that funded them demands answers.

Vaunted is a tactical RPG with explosive action and dynamic combat where turn-based planning is paired with real-time action that opens up unique opportunities. Leap into cover on your turn to dodge enemy counterattacks, set overwatch angles to return the favor as your foes scramble into position, or send enemies flying through the air with the help of a well-placed grenade to riddle them with bullets before they hit the ground.



It all begins with your capture at the hands of a benefactor who has come to collect, curious about the missing return on his investment, and looking for answers with the help of his armed thugs. Tell the story of an expedition gone horribly wrong with the help of three extremely unreliable narrators, where every exposed lie and half-truth opens up new branches, allowing you to switch between their perspectives for wildly different outcomes with every new run:

Dyse is an incorrigible liar, thief, and con artist with a list of enemies too long to count. An excellent flanker, a mastermind at finding loot, and quick to make friends with Scientists and Outsiders, Dyse always finds the shortest path to the richest treasure.

Gendril is a tough-talking mercenary with deep underworld contacts and the arsenal to take on any foe. A battle-scarred Fighter and consummate Professional, he knows that, in this business, violence is usually the answer.

Kyvaath is a powerful young warlock, and the last of her kind. Hailing from a destroyed world, and empowered by cybernetic enhancements, she wields a kind of magic not seen for a millennium. Utterly ruthless and driven equally by ambition and vengeance, she views others as a means to an end.

With their backs against a wall, three ruthless scoundrels will say whatever it takes to make it out with their lives – even if it means betrayal.



You’ll have to work together with a ship full of criminals, mercenaries, and bounty hunters in a desperate bid for survival. Explore their backstories to see how their paths crossed with your intrepid anti-heroes, kit them out with powerful class-based equipment ranging from sentry turrets and jetpacks to sniper rifles and handguns, and build relationships and reputations that might just make the difference between life and death.



Assemble the right party for the task at hand as you tackle a variety of missions and watch as each of your heroes and companions levels up and improves their capabilities individually, falling behind or bounding ahead based on how well they do in combat. Create diverse builds, explore powerful upgrades, and develop unique synergies between the characters at play with every re-telling of the tale.

All three heroes have their own version of events, and though the story continues when companions die,...
