Play Dark Fantasy Tactical Game Annulus During Steam Next Fest

Now that Steam Next Fest is officially underway, users of the platform can start digging through an endless selection of games and test them out to find the next addition to their library. We gave you a short list of games available during the event, but that doesn’t nearly cover all of them. Luckily for us, some devs are alerting us to their offerings during the event.

In this case, developer and publisher NIRVANA brought its free-to-play tactical strategy RPG Annulus to the Next Fest. In this dark-fantasy game, players are cast in the role of a mercenary captain. They’ll gather weapons and resources, as well as mercenaries they will then train to build their own legion. As they progress, the mercenaries under the player’s command will evolve, with some even taking on new forms inspired by their stories.

Combat in the game is impacted by things like weather, elements, day-night cycles, terrain, and more. In order to progress, players need to take all these factors into account.

As far as the narrative goes, the game boasts multi-path narratives, meaning player choice has an impact.

Between now and March 2, players can check out the game’s demo. There is no official launch date yet, but it shouldn’t be too far off.
