Description

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.

BUILD YOUR COLONY



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!

ENGAGE IN TACTICAL COMBATS



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 & LOOT DUNGEONS



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.

TRAIN & MANAGE YOUR HEROES



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.

FEATURES


  • Endless Replayability: Maps, dungeons and heroes are procedurally generated to make every game unique and full of new adventures.
  • Heroes Customization: Personalize your heroes with classes, skills, and items to create unique fighting styles.
  • Management & Combats: A balanced system where you need to build to improve your combat skills, and you need to defeat enemies to unlock new constructions for your colony.
  • Accessible & Deep: Easily build an efficient colony, but don’t hesitate to optimize it thanks to advanced light or temperature propagation systems.
  • Custom Pacing: Progress by defeating dungeon bosses with increasing difficulty, but you can take your time to strengthen your heroes and develop your colony.
  • 3D Graphics: Discover simple yet beautiful 3D graphics combined with advanced lighting and atmospheric effects, which will make you enjoy decorating your base even more!

Hate to give this a negative review because it seems like it could work in a year or so, but in the current state there's just not enough there to warrant the price. I was going to return it, but I went over the 2h mark

It reminds me of Stranded, Alien Dawn a lot. So far it's very simple, lacks a lot of options that I assume will come with time, and has the same issue that most games of the genre have, hauling takes forever, causing

This has a carbon copy system for workers as "Going Medieval" but yet again the workers dont follow the priority list so you mark loads up stuff to be done and it just gets ignored... There are way less building pieces

Two words ... DEM-Oh! You have nothing to lose by giving the demo a try. There's no time limit ... you're simply capped at not being able to progress beyond level 4. Plus, your save file carries over if you want to

I tried the demo initially and ended up only playing for like an hour maybe less and gave up. It was a bit frustrating for controls and know how to get things started. After it went on sale and seeing a big update

I've now played the game 24 hours, so I think I've gotten a good feel for it. I love it! :D I find the game both relaxing and engaging. I'm impressed with the fact that a single guy got it made and published. Great job!
