14 itemsAbout the Game
Edge Islands mixes the gameplay of a Colony Sim with Tactical RPG elements like turn-based combats and heroes to level up.
Inspired by classics of the genre but more accessible, manage a team of adventurers landing on a procedural island, and explore dungeons while taking care of their needs, moods, traits and social interactions.
Gather resources from your environment to build a colony for your heroes and prepare for their adventures. Make them cosy to improve their mood, farm and raise animals to provide food while facing changing weather and seasons. Then, when you are ready, recruit new members and expand until building a massive fortress. You will find many items and customization options to create a unique base!
Take part in turn-based tactical combats with your heroes. Use skills learned in the colony and earn XP to level up. Experience fast-paced combats with teams of 4 and based on placement and synergies between units.
Explore procedural islands with points of interest and resources to improve the colony. Prepare and send groups on expeditions into procedural dungeons to retrieve loot and gold, allowing you to recruit new heroes and unlock new constructions.
Prepare your heroes for battle by building training facilities to unlock combat skills based on their classes. Craft them better equipment, potions, and items. But be careful: Training and fighting take time, and they also have other duties to perform for the colony!
And don’t forget to take care of their mood, ambitions and relationships to maximize their combat efficiency.
