Our take on Tanzia
The listing gives equal weight to exploration, combat, and classic RPG elements, but the quest structure is more specifically described through a main storyline and optional missions. The open island is present from the outset, so the experience emphasizes roaming and choosing destinations over a strictly ordered route.
What is Tanzia?
Tanzia is a single-player, retro-styled RPG set on an open island filled with magic, monsters, and locations such as Turtle Beach, the Docks, Emuri Village, the Lagoon, and ancient ruins.
Its main story follows the search for a missing grandfather while an evil threatens the island. Combat combines movement, spell effects, enemy weaknesses, and environmental interactions. Magic can freeze, burn, or immobilize foes, while alchemy provides healing, speed, and stronger spell effects. A main quest and optional missions can grant access to additional spells, items, and areas. The game also includes Steam achievements, statistics, cloud saves, trading cards, badges, emoticons, and profile backgrounds.
