Leap of Fate, the narrative-driven, cyberpunk isometric roguelike is now available to buy on Steam and the Humble Store.
Leap of Fate has an intriguing grown-up design philosophy and great development story (Mattieu Bégin, lead developer runs Clever-Plays with his wife from their Montreal family home – see below).
“With Leap of Fate we wanted to make a fresh roguelike with more narrative substance”, said Mattieu Bégin, lead developer of Clever-Plays. “There’s no main evil guy to defeat, it’s about overcoming your own fears, discovering your own fate. For me, it’s the culmination of a decades-long journey, from making tabletop RPGs and board games as a child to running an independent games studio today.
We’re so excited to release our debut game and can’t wait to see which of the four playable characters is the most popular. There’s some strong discussion online already!”
What is Leap of Fate?
