Our take on Destiny's Sword
The defining detail is the focus on how command affects troopers psychologically: their histories, relationships, trauma, and battlefield experiences shape their development and performance.
What is Destiny's Sword?
Destiny’s Sword is a graphic adventure about commanding a squad of troopers.
Its story takes place on Cypris, where the Galactic Government and the corporate Consortium are drawn into conflict over Lucidium, a mineral that fuels the galaxy. Each recruit has a personal history, personality, emotions, and reasons for joining. Their experiences, relationships, and reactions to command decisions shape their development and performance. Past trauma, battlefield losses, and morale can affect the support characters need before difficult missions. Exploration, discoveries, betrayals, camaraderie, and decisions about the squad unfold the story of Cypris and the powers behind its conflict. The game’s narrative is based on space-opera novels written for it by M. D. Cooper.
