Lore-heavy RPG featuring runes
Fate of Aruna is a fantasy strategy RPG game by TRAFFICJAM LLC, featuring established worldbuilding and semantic puzzle elements. The game also has a narrative-driven story that spans generations, set in the ruins of a post-apocalyptic world. It uses Runic language as its main game theme, driving the plot forward.
Fate of Aruna uses that language to set up intricate puzzles, codes to decipher, and dialogue with secret messages to be cracked. The game draws inspiration from Steven Errikson Gardens of the Moon series and ancient Sumerian and Babylonian mythos, mixing fantasy, archaeology, and monster hunting into one game.
Explore Aruna and solve Runic puzzles
Fate of Aruna has an expansive plot spanning thousands of years that doubles as a fable about class and racial progression, in line with classic RPGs. The game features a post-apocalyptic world with a rich history, filled with different monsters you can battle from a third-person perspective. It has an open-world map you can explore, filled with secrets and treasures.
As you explore Aruna, the Hotbar becomes your primary way to battle enemies when you get ambushed. A selection of weapons ranging from melee and ranged to magical ones are available to use. In addition, a skill bar for your powers that depends on your chosen class is available. It features music that matches the game's tone, while the sound effects need more polishing.
The complexity of the Runic language and lore may overwhelm some players. Players might also find the narrative's complexity challenging to follow. Some people will take this as a challenge, but for players who need context, the game doesn’t hold your hand for tutorials, making it a dealbreaker to some. Nonetheless, the game's rich lore, decent system requirements, and strategic gameplay offer a unique experience.
