A new text-based RPG, Eldrum: Black Dust – Text RPG, has arrived on Android, offering players a gripping narrative and challenging choices. This is the third installment in Act None's Eldrum series, following Eldrum: Untold and Eldrum: Red Tide.
A Fresh Narrative in Familiar Territory
Eldrum: Black Dust transports players deep into the treacherous desert wastelands. This arid landscape is fraught with peril, moral quandaries, and unforgiving creditors. While some familiar factions appear, the setting and storyline are entirely new.
Unlike its predecessors, this game introduces a class system, adding depth to the intense turn-based combat. It masterfully blends the immersive storytelling of Choose Your Own Adventure books with the strategic complexity of Dungeons & Dragons campaigns.
The story follows a drifter burdened by a troubled past. Having made some powerful enemies, they seek refuge in a desert city, only to find themselves ensnared in a deadly trap laid by those they sought to escape.
Survival becomes paramount. Players must choose between paying their debts with gold or resorting to violence. Eldrum: Black Dust's branching narrative allows for diverse choices, each shaping the player's journey towards one of several distinct endings.

Worth a Play? ---------------The game immerses players in a world where every decision holds significant weight, potentially leading to salvation or ruin. As players explore the desert city and its dangerous surroundings, they will uncover secrets and engage in side quests.
The vivid text descriptions and atmospheric audio create a captivating experience. Eldrum: Black Dust appears to deliver on its promises, and I'm personally excited to play it. If you share my enthusiasm, you can purchase it on the Google Play Store for $8.99.
