Sol Invictus is the second instalment of Cubus Game’s Sci-fi adventure game book series, set for release this Thursday, and it retains the same unique take on the genre as its predecessor, Heavy Metal Thunder.
The story in Sol Invictus, written by Science fiction author Kyle B.Stiff, is set in a universe where humanity has been driven into space by the Invaders who threaten its existence and struggle to survive on space stations and battleships scattered across the solar system. The game is accompanied by a full sound track and complimented by artwork from illustrator Marc Gonzalez.
The game will feature the same Character system as its predecessor, allowing you to increase your attributes as you gain experience, making successful stat rolls easier. Players can also once again learn a variety of specialist skills to help them on their adventure, and increase their proficiency with a variety of weapons.
With the same branching narrative style as Heavy Metal Thunder, and the ability to play three stories simultaneously, this will be a welcome addition to fans of the first game.
Sol Invictus is out on Thursday, but until then you can get the first part of the story here.
