Although only recently launched into Early Access and with Ludomotion promising plenty more to come until the full 1.0 version is ready, Unexplored 2: The Wayfarer’s Legacy has already impressed players.
GamesRadar’s Connor Sheridan likened it to “a smooth fusion of roguelite runs, Zelda-esque adventure, and good old D&D-style resource management and decision making,” while PC Gamer’s Steven Messner called it “the most innovative adventure game I’ve played in years.”
Offering some developer insight into one of the unique aspects that helps Unexplored 2 standout, game director Joris Dormans has written an in-depth piece about designing the roguelite RPG’s ‘Fortune System’ – the equivalent of table-top dice-rolling. You can read the whole piece at Gamasutra.
