Beyond Simple Choices
A common criticism of choose-your-own-adventure games is their limited interactivity. However, Eldrum: Black Dust elevates the genre by incorporating light TTRPG mechanics, including combat, a feature reminiscent of classic Fighting Fantasy books and a modern approach to introducing players to new systems.
With its original artwork, music, branching storylines, and combat system, Eldrum: Black Dust offers a compelling experience. While it may not appeal to genre skeptics, fans of choose-your-own-adventure games seeking something fresh and engaging will find this title a rewarding experience – perhaps even an early Christmas gift.
