RimWorld meets Moebius-esque roguelite colony sim Trailblazers: Into The March welcomes you aboard its hulking landships with a chonky-sounding demo

With the devs behind RimWorld gearing up for their next game with a recent engine switch , it'd be entirely fair if you were hankering for something new (if still familiar enough) yourself.

With the devs behind RimWorld gearing up for their next game with a recent engine switch , it'd be entirely fair if you were hankering for something new (if still familiar enough) yourself.

The short version

  • Trailblazers: Into The March is one such game, having introduced itself to us earlier this year, a mishmash of the aforementioned colony sim, Nausicaa, Moebius , Andrei Tarkovski, Jeff Vandermeer, and FTL: Faster Than Light by Edwin's measure.
  • And now you don't just have to look at its trailers, because there's a demo for you to have a go at.
  • When looking at all of your crew members aboard your ship, they resemble those tiny toy wooden puppets that collapse when you press a button beneath them.

What happened

Their character portraits are a lot more detailed, but more obviously procedurally (not AI) generated, with some lush recurring character NPC portraits to show how beautiful this game can get. No release date just yet, but you can check out that demo, or just throw it a wishlist, on Steam .
