Twilight Wars is a cyberpunk-themed dungeon crawler where squads of secret agents battle for the interests of corporations. Revive a secret organization, recruit and equip a team of specialists, and neutralize those who stand in your way!
RPG Gamers summarySet in the near-future, “Twilight Wars” is a Metroidvania action-adventure game published by Steam. It is a dungeon crawler set in an unconventional spy cyberpunk scenario, replete with tactical turn-based combat and dangerous missions.
The game is largely set at the end of the 21st century, in a world dominated by multinational corporations that have risen above the control of governmental institutions. These corporations partake in ruthless activities, such as industrial espionage, development theft, and ruthless elimination of competitors. The once dominant Anonymous Arbitration Agency, or the Triple-A, the only bastion against the haphazard control of the corporations, is now reduced to a nearly destroyed entity. As a player, you pair off with Shi, an artificial intelligence, and work towards reviving the Triple-A and reclaiming power from the corporate giants.
“Twilight Wars” offers players the scope of customizing their strategies based on their playstyles, offering eight unique agents who can be recruited and trained. The game incorporates intricate elements, such as agent stress and loyalty levels, and their interactive dynamics within the squad, which adds a layer of realism to the gameplay.
Interestingly, there’s a significant emphasis on the power of words. Decisions during battlefield encounters certainly matter, but so do your choices during dialogue with various characters. The game’s missions are closely interconnected, with choices having direct consequences on global missions and rewards.
“Twilight Wars” comes with an original art style that draws players into the atmosphere of lo-fi cyberpunk. It was recognized as the “Franchise Ready” and “The Best Scenario” winner at the 2021’s Narrative In Games event. “Twilight Wars” also received nominations for “Best Unreal Engine Game” and “Best Art” at the Indie Cup W’21. As a testament to the game’s unique design and narrative strengths, it also won the prize for “Best Art” at Wanna Join Game Dev 2020 HSBI and “Choice of Belka Games” at Unreal Engine DEV Contest 2020.
Replete with engaging gameplay, intricate narratives, and original art, “Twilight Wars” promises a deep and challenging journey for Metroidvania fans.
