Our take on GreedFall: The Dying World
Combat can be paused for tactical planning, with three profiles that set how the player controls companions and the camera.
What is GreedFall: The Dying World?
GreedFall: The Dying World is a narrative RPG set in a fantasy world inspired by 17th-century Europe.
Playing as a native of Teer Fradee, captured by foreigners, the character escapes and travels across the Old Continent, where war and disease affect its nations. Character creation covers appearance, attributes, talents, and abilities. Decisions shape events and relationships, while diplomacy, disguises, equipment crafting, and combat offer different ways to handle obstacles. Eight companions can join the journey; their equipment and combat roles can be changed, and they can be controlled in battles. Combat includes a tactical pause for planning, with Tactical, Focused, and Hybrid profiles. Story and Tactician modes set different challenge levels.
