So in death, the world change is further accelerated. When you die, Boji will haul your dead body to the nearest respawn location, and that takes time. Time also passes when you’re left for dead. ![]() So backtracking to previous locations doesn’t feel like re-clearing the same outpost like most open-world games. A camp full of enemies you cleared will over time be retaken by another faction (which can also be a different type of enemy). Not its geography, but rather who inhabits it. Over time, part of the world will change. In particular how the world is a bit more dynamic. While this seems like a very generic action-adventure game with its premise, at the 505 Games Showcase Spring 2022 show, more details of Stray Blade has emerged and surprisingly it has some cool tricks up its sleeves. Aided by your companion Boji, you are off on a quest to explore the world for answers. Stray Blade has you play an adventurer who is stuck in some forgotten land called Acrea, and by stuck, we mean magically bounded to the land.

Also announced at the 505 Games showcase was Miasma Chronicles, the next tactical post-apocalyptic game from Mutant Year Zero devs The Bearded Ladies. ![]() Among The Trolls launches later this year in Early Access on Steam.

Boji is happy to jump in to aid you and even has his own little skill tree, bless. The player was blown up and killed in a magical explosion to even get to the Valley, for a start, and the whole shebang revolves around mastering special metals to forge weapons to see off the irate residents.
