Graywalkers: Purgatory Steam Page Live, Pre-orders Open

Last we heard about Dreamlords Digital’s turn-based strategy RPG Graywalkers: Purgatory, the game was getting ready to launch into Early Access. And seeing how that was back in 2016, it’s clear that something didn’t go as planned there. However, the project seems to be alive and kicking. It even has its own Steam page now that lists the game’s availability as “coming soon.” Here’s the official description:

Graywalkers: Purgatory is a stylish turn-based strategy RPG set in a supernatural post-apocalyptic world where Heaven and Hell had merged with Earth caused by a event called the Rupture. Inspired by a combination of gameplay from XCom, Jagged Alliance and Fallout, the game generates a unique but familiar experience for the turn-based tactics player.

You play the prophesied leader of The 36 Righteous Ones who are now called Graywalkers. You and the other Graywalkers walk the path between Heaven and Hell and Darkness and Light, each one destined to protect humanity in their own unique way.
