Dust & Salt combines interactive fiction and turn-based tactical combat on iOS and Android

Rather than the high fantasy and mystical worlds of Sorcery and Fighting Fantasy, the recently revealed Dust & Salt puts the player in the boots of an army captain in low-magic medieval kingdom.

Combining the map and text prompts of the digital gamebook with turn-based battles, you guide your leader and his band in an attempt to free the Sin Lands from a corrupting evil. As you explore, your choices mold the narrative, through alliances and betrayals, good acts or violent retribution, diplomacy or war.

Decide to solve a situation with steel rather than speech, and you'll enter hex-based tactical combat, positioning different units to flank and destroy with spear, bow, hammer, and blade.

Dust & Salt is expected to release on iOS and Android in mid November. You can find more details on the game and developer here.
