- As Far as the Eye brings roguelike strategy to the palm of your hand
- Journey with your Tribe to the mystical Eye and evade an oncoming wave
- Slowly upgrade your knowledge base and individual members, tough choices await
If you’re a regular reader you might’ve spotted one of the stories we covered last week, which was the eclectic mix of turn-based strategy and roguelike As Far as the Eye. Seeing you playing as a nomadic tribe attempting to escape an oncoming wave, via the back of a giant animal, it’s out now on iOS and arriving soon on Android!
Yes, if you’ve ever thought that strategy never had quite the push you needed to get that high-octane excitement maybe As Far as the Eye can change your mind. You’ll need to carefully manage your resources and make crucial decisions as you move from site to site towards the mystical Eye itself.
Fortunately, you won’t be relying on just your wits and brainpower, as you’ll get the chance to pick your own tribe with distinct boons. Along the way, you can progress along a variety of skill trees and upgrade both your individual tribe members and the entire group’s knowledge as a whole.
Beyond the Eye of the Storm
As Far as the Eye has definitely provided an intriguing premise, and the mixture of roguelike with long-term strategy would offer plenty of replay value. And with its colourful art style and peculiarly cute characters to balance it out, I reckon even the most sceptical of strategy and roguelike players would eagerly give this one a go.
The best part is that As Far as the Eye promises many hours of playtime and unlockable content, meaning even if the lack of enemies (aside from that ever-encroaching wave) puts you off there’s still plenty of reasons to sink in that time.
