No longer the oasis they once were, The Shining Lands have become plagued by a toxic gas known as Mirk, endangering anyone who dares venture outside the city walls. In this long-awaited sequel penned by acclaimed veteran writer Xalavier Nelson Jr., you follow the tenacious Evni Hunt and her crew, The Hunters, on a deadly mission across these lands in what is perhaps the last hope of saving them.
Like its predecessor, Defender’s Quest 2: Mists of Ruin merges tactical tower defense with the long-term strategy and party customization of classic RPGs. Build a roster of like-minded heroes each with their own abilities, skill trees, equipment, and stories as you weave through dramatic new narratives from multiple perspectives. With a stunning and energetic new visual identity, the series’ heart-racing tactical gameplay is appropriately backed by a gorgeously illustrated world.
Ten years in the making, Defender’s Quest 2: Mists of Ruin is coming to PC (console platforms TBA) in 2023. Rise above the Mirk and wishlist the sequel to a genre-blending classic: https://store.steampowered.com/app/252190
