Publisher Fireshine Games (Gestalt: Steam & Cinder) and developer La Grange Studios presented new footage of tactical card battler Toads of the Bayou during last weekend’s PC Gaming Show. The highlights: a new and improved aesthetic, and the impending release of a prologue chapter (later this summer) to prep players for the full October launch.
Toads of the Bayou follows the adventures of a dapper band of toads looking to build a new life in the swamps of the deep south. Combat takes place against evil forces that threaten your toad’s survival. Players will need to use powerful decks and clever strategies to navigate a variety of situations along the way to making their toads the strongest and most fearsome in the bayou.
Below, you’ll find the trailer from last weekend’s showcase, overview details (via Steam), as well as the latest screenshots (which look much different from the originals)!
Tales of the Bayou Overview
Baron Samedi, a spirit of the dead, has tricked you and your group of wandering toads who were looking for a place to settle and thrive, by trapping them in the cursed bayou and forcing them to face the evil that inhabits it. Determined to overcome the dreadful Baron Samedi, the toads must band together to defeat his waves of minions and build a settlement within the bayou.
Expand and Protect your Settlement
Manage your resources to grow out your settlement and expand your toad population within the bayou. All of the buildings such as: The Garrison, The Witches Hut and The Armoury will be inhabited by allies who will grant you unique abilities and cards to add to your deck. Set up traps and upgrade your territory to fight off enemies attacking your settlement.
