Bastard Bonds is a turn-based tactical RPG by indie developer Bigfingers. Originally released on the developer's website back in April, it became known to the Codex shortly afterwards and was well-received for its interesting-looking gameplay and gorgeous (or should I say, fabulous) pixel art. So it wasn't surprising that it was quickly greenlit for release on Steam, where it finally became available this morning. A review at GamesNosh describes Bastard Bonds as "a mature game for mature gamers". Perhaps you'll understand when you watch the trailer:
Justice has failed. The criminal, the deranged, the inconvenient, and the uncomfortable; all are cast across the sea to the greedy island of Lukatt, whose shores let nothing slip free. Whether sinner or saint, you are one of these outcasts, and it is there, in a dark cell on the cold shore of that island, where you will finally cut fate's throat and take control of your own future.
Gather a band of the criminal and the forgotten, forgive their transgressions or ostracize them, use them as workhorses or nurture their trust, slaughter your enemies or spare them, release the conquered or press them into service. Find a way to escape the inescapable, or find a way to bend it to your will.
Bastard Bonds is a mature, fast-paced tactical RPG with high-end pixel art and in-depth character customization, including built-in sprite mod support. Featuring more than 200 in-game locations, more than 1000 character sprites, an all-original soundtrack, and 40+ hours of gameplay.
If you think you're man enough for it, Bastards Bonds is now available on Steam for $20, with a 10% launch discount until next week. There's also a free demo available on the Bigfingers website if you're unsure.
