New Game Looks Like Dungeons and Dragons Meets Final Fantasy Tactics

by

The new game, Odds Chronicles, looks promising for players who enjoy titles like Dungeons & Dragons and Final Fantasy Tactics. Dungeons & Dragons is popular because it lets players customize their characters in many ways, both in terms of gameplay style and their character’s story.

Many video games try to recreate the experience of playing tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons, and Baldur’s Gate 3 is a particularly successful example. It’s challenging to capture the magic of a tabletop RPG in a video game – it’s not just about replacing dice rolls with digital ones. It requires creating a truly open-ended adventure where players feel in control of their choices. Now, the developers at eSolu and Team Mojo Games seem poised to do just that with Odds Chronicles, a game promising a story with many branching paths and plenty of options for players to explore.

Odds Chronicles Is a Tactical Roguelite RPG

Games such as Final Fantasy Tactics are known for requiring clever tactics and careful planning to win battles. Odds Chronicles offers a similar experience, featuring grid-based combat set on stunningly detailed landscapes. Players will face many enemies and need to think through every move, as dice rolls add an element of chance to each fight. Even when characters fall in battle, it’s not a permanent loss—Odds Chronicles is a roguelite, meaning players return to their home base, the Tavern Outside of Time, to gear up and try again.

Games like Hades 2 that focus on storytelling and replayability have become very popular, and Odds Chronicles aims to capture that same appeal. Players take on the role of a royal bodyguard seeking redemption after failing to protect their king and allowing a new, oppressive ruler to take control. They’ll need to improve their skills to restore their honor. Along the way, players will meet various characters – some of whom they can recruit as playable heroes with special abilities – to help them on their quest.

In Odds Chronicles, your decisions will have a real impact on the game world, causing it to change and offer new experiences with each playthrough. The developers are focusing on replayability, which is great news for players who enjoy spending a lot of time in a game. Currently in development for PC, Odds Chronicles is tentatively scheduled for release in 2026.
