Lost Lake Games has announced its debut title, 'Vaunted,' in partnership with Hooded Horse. The game blends turn-based tactical combat with real-time action, set in a galaxy where mercenaries compete for priceless imperial relics.
'Vaunted' introduces players to three main characters—Dyse, Gendril, and Kyvaath—as they navigate a chaotic universe filled with rivals, aliens, and giant robots. The game features squad management, skill trees, and unique story perspectives that adapt based on player actions.
Key features include
- Tactical combat that combines turn-based planning with real-time skirmishes, allowing players to control the order of actions without initiative-based constraints.
- Rich RPG mechanics, including skill trees, randomized upgrades, and diverse build options for assembling teams tailored to specific missions.
- A narrative that evolves based on player choices, with each hero offering a distinct version of events. Deaths can trigger shifts in perspective, unlocking new conversations, loot, and secrets.
The game will be available on PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store, and the Microsoft Store, with day-one access through Xbox Game Pass.
'Vaunted' represents a bold fusion of tactical strategy and sci-fi storytelling, drawing from the experience of its development team, which includes veterans from Blizzard. The partnership with Hooded Horse underscores its ambition to redefine genre expectations.
