COMING TO PC, XBOX ONE, & PLAYSTATION 4 in 2018! Developed by The Bearded Ladies, published by Funcom. http://www.mutantyearzero.com

Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden is a tactical adventure game combining the turn-based combat of XCOM with story, exploration, stealth, and strategy. Take control of a team of Mutants navigating a post-human Earth. Created by a team including former HITMAN leads and the designer of PAYDAY.

• TACTICAL COMBAT: Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden is the ultimate fix for your tactical strategy addiction. Dive into a deep, turn-based, tactical combat system inspired by the XCOM games.

• EXPLORE A POST-HUMAN EARTH: Journey through a post-human world of abandoned cities, crumbling highways, and overgrown countryside. Check back at the Ark, a neon-bathed oasis of ill repute and questionable characters, to restock your supplies and plan out your next adventure.

• CONTROL A TEAM OF MUTANTS: A duck with an attitude problem and a boar with anger issues; these aren’t your typical heroes. Get to know Dux, Bormin, Selma, and many other characters each with their own unique personality and deranged perspective on the world and their situation.

• MASTER THE STEALTHY APPROACH: Sneak through shadows to avoid conflict or to catch enemies unaware. Real-time stealth allows you full control of approach: sneak into an enemy camp, position the team of Mutants to your advantage, and gain the element of surprise.

• UNLOCK MUTATIONS: Unlock new mutations and abilities for your Mutants, such as Selma’s Stoneskin, Bormin’s Charge, and Dux‘ uncanny ability to sneak into a camp full of enemies unnoticed, despite being a 4-foot tall walking, talking duck with a crossbow.

• DYNAMIC ENVIRONMENTS: Use the environment to your advantage. Stay out of floodlights, hide from line of sight, or just blast down fully destructible walls and buildings and wreak utter havoc.

• LOOT, LOOT EVERYWHERE: From makeshift slingshots to high-powered rifles and top hats to police vests, make sure you equip your Mutants for the dangers ahead. Nothing says post-human quite like a mutated boar in spiked metal armor charging at you with a blunderbuss in his hands.

They seem to be avoiding using the term "RPG".

They don't want Skyrim fans to buy it and then leave bad reviews because the combat is turn based. Whoever heard of such a thing as a turn based RPG? Crazy talk.

"We thought we were getting an RPG like Fallout 4 with Duckman, but every time you fight it turns into a snooze fest, wah wah wah."

I was thinking maybe it's because there's no character creation.

Well I highly prefer to create my party (full pregen is not worse than creating exactly one character+pregens though'), but the game still looks like a full-fledge RPG to me.

Fun fact: The owner of the Mutant tabletop RPG license is the LA-based Cabinet Entertainment, formerly known as Paradox Entertainment - the parent company of Paradox Interactive until 2004. Funny that now both of the Paradoxes own tabletop franchises.

Wow, that looks surprisingly good. I saw in this screen that it cost 1 AP to move, but I can't tell if this is a real AP system, or a nuCOM / Phoenix Point move-and-shoot 2 AP style system.

The green bars are health, fyi.

If it's really the reason why they're not calling it an RPG then it's really backwards when in the same time any action game with a health bar is called an RPG.

. Small group of adventurers exploring, killing shit in tactical combat, getting new abilities and stuff is purest form of RPG.

I don't get the furries. We played the tabletop version and there isn't a single animal bullshit like that. Also, the original premise fits better a survival+base management game than a tactical combat one.

There seems to be using levels, at least for the enemies, as seen in the screenshot. So it's odd they are choosing not to talk about RPGs, since, in my opinion, once you have character levels in a game, it's a RPG, without any regards to the style of the game.
