Rebuild and Enhance a Town in Style, Guideed by Developers Behind Octopath Traveler and Destiny Games
Embrace the Builder's Dream In the world of gaming, there's nothing quite as satisfying as constructing a humble hamlet. Whether it's rebuilding Monteriggioni in Assassin's Creed 2 or that quaint village in Breath of the Wild, it's all about immersing myself in this creatively cathartic endeavor. So you can imagine the excitement when I laid eyes on the upcoming tactical RPG, Never's End.
This game seems to leap from the minds of developers who have brought us masterpieces like Destiny, Triangle Strategy, Octopath Traveller, Enter the Gungeon, and Gang Beasts. If you're still stuck on Final Fantasy Tactics (and who could blame you?), give this one a once-over. Just like the old tactics games, you'll be taking turns, arranging your party, and duking it out with skeletons and ghouls in an epic showdown.
The twist comes in the form of elemental manipulation—your chibi warriors can harness the forces of nature to unleash havoc on their foes. As a being forged from living metal, with the power to harness the elements, you can manipulate heat, wind, water, and stone to your will. Move heat around the map to create wind gusts or knock enemies around, drain heat to freeze them solid, control water currents, or sculpt the terrain using your mastery of stone.
For those of you blessed with a love for logistics and all things construction, this is the game for you. The developers promise the ability to upgrade towns, temples, and locations, creating businesses, establishing trade routes, and recruiting new warriors to your cause. The mere thought of this makes my lizard brain tingle with anticipation.
Gamers eager to dive in can look forward to Never's End on Steam and PlayStation 5 consoles, although a release date hasn't been set in stone just yet. With exciting gameplay mechanics, a unique spin on tactical RPGs, and the promise of village-building, this one's definite worth a watch.

Joshua Wolens Ever since he played Quake 2 when he was too young to be doing that (hey, we all made mistakes), Joshua has been hooked on gaming. He's had his writing showcased in Vice, Fanbyte, and the Financial Times. Open to playing anything, he specializes in CRPGs, immersive sims, and games that showcase ambition (even if their budgets don't). Unapologetically pro-Deus Ex: Invisible War, he can't help feeling you all are a bit harsh on the game.
