This means that players now have the freedom to sneak into an enemy camp, position their team to their advantage, and gain the element of surprise.
Players will be tasked with sneaking through shadows to avoid conflict or catching enemies unaware as the game’s real-time stealth elements provide full control over the player’s approach.
Unlike traditional tactical adventures, where movement is grid-based, stealth plays a huge role in Road to Eden.
So, what augmentations to the inspirational XCOM make Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden’s gameplay stand out? Surprisingly, it’s the element of stealth. “What we wanted to do with Mutant Year Zero was take a really, really deep and complex tactical game like XCOM and not just emulate it, but be inspired by it,” said Varley. “The first year (of development) became trying to figure out the metagame - what would we add to the XCOM formula - and we failed miserably,” said David Skarin, Co-Founder of The Bearded Ladies. We want to explore those opportunities.”Īlthough the prospect of finding new experiences within established formulas is exciting, The Bearded Ladies will be the first to admit that actually developing something unique can be much more difficult than it appears. “Maybe take some popular genres and put some spins on it. “We want to build games that are unique and a little bit out there - a little bit different,” said Game Director Lee Varley. The result is an all-new experience entitled Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden - a tactical adventure game developed in Unreal Engine 4 featuring a deep, turn-based, tactical combat system inspired by the popular XCOM games. Transitioning this atmospheric tabletop game into innovative interactive entertainment is no easy task, but Malmö-based developer The Bearded Ladies, featuring the designer of PAYDAY and a team of former HITMAN leads, has taken on the challenge.
