Check out the launch trailer below:
In Tamarak Trail, players are empowered to create their own combat dice with a plethora of modifiers at their disposal. Status effects augment abilities, while bounce modifiers enable players to synergize dice interactions to amplify their powers. However, employing bounce modifiers comes at the cost of increased resolve, adding a layer of strategic decision-making. Dice customization extends further with flips, allowing players to spin dice in specific directions to orchestrate devastating combos. The game even features a Dice Forge where players can craft their own “infinite combo” dice. Additionally, Dice Cores provide passive buffs like enhanced defense, enabling players to fine-tune their play style.
Piotr Lipert, Lead Designer at Yarrow Games, expressed the team’s passion for Tamarak Trail, describing it as a fusion of roguelike randomization, tactile dice mechanics inspired by tabletop gaming, and the enchanting landscapes of Ontario’s forests. Lipert emphasized the personal significance of the project, marking Yarrow Games’ inaugural game since its founding. With years invested in developing Tamarak Trail, the team eagerly anticipates witnessing the community’s diverse strategies and gameplay approaches.
In Tamarak Trail, players assume the role of members of the clandestine society known as the Sturgeon Lodge, tasked with unraveling the mysteries of a decaying world. Choosing from three distinct characters – The Magician, the Tracker, or the Detective – players embark on an adventure to confront corruption at its source. Procedurally generated paths offer endless possibilities as players encounter events, monsters, campsites, treasures, and more, each unveiling new bonuses and strategies.
Combat in Tamarak Trail hinges on tactical dice-building, where players wield customizable dice to engage adversaries. With physics-based rolls and the ability to manipulate dice interactions, players orchestrate devastating combo attacks while securing passive abilities through dice cores. The game’s deck-builder mechanics allow for continuous customization, enabling players to tailor their play style to suit their preferences.
