Welcome to Fatal Factions: Tempo!
Curst has never been a lucky place. Set in an underground cavern, the city of Curst has always had a tough time starting up trade with other cities and producing a great amount of food for themselves. Unfortunately for its people, their day - more specifically, their 3 hours - were about to get significantly worse.
​
A strange blue artifact erupts from within the city. A barrier dissolving the fingers of anyone that touches it surrounds the city in a destructive bubble. For a little more than 3 hours, the city is trapped. Then, a blue light erupts from within Castle Curst and swallows the city hole. Now, the city repeats the exact same events over and over again for days. The barrier is no longer dangerous, but the people inside only know of its dissolving properties. Anything within could be saved if they could leave, but they can't.
​
Chronadax, a guild known for keeping care of time itself, has appeared and begun to investigate what they call the permanence event. Through experimentation, they find out the rules and properties of the permanence area. Wanting to stay outside to constantly observe events of the city, they hire three mercenaries to investigate the permanence event.
​
You play as one of the mercenaries under Chronadax. Your goal is to find out what caused the permanence event and stop it so that the people of Curst may continue on with their lives. Play as Zuri the Warrior, Veila the Rogue or Almina the Mage as you adventure into Curst and rush through the chaos of the city. Don't stay still for too long, as an active unknown force will kick you from the permanence area if you are stuck or you die. Create change to make your runs easier and save the people of Curst from the chaos that has swallowed it whole!
What is Fatal Factions: Tempo?
Fatal Factions: Tempo is a single-player roguelite legacy card game where you take one of three mercenaries and send them into Curst with the hopes of saving its people. In this game, you will complete multiple runs and create permanent changes to your character and the locations you visit. If you beat a location's boss, you will be able to select a permanent bonus card (called a Boon) that gets added to the location's deck of events as well as a passive or a spell to keep. If you lose, you add a random Bane that may cause you trouble in the future.
​
Each character has a set of stats and a special ability that separates them from each other and every location has unique units, events and stories to follow. The actions, spells and passives you gain as you level up and beat locations all push you towards the build you want.
​
You will also find weapon chips throughout your journey. As you find them, you will have to make an important decision - Will you destroy the chip to use their ability to get you out of a tough situation, or will you save them to permanently evolve your weapon later?
With many decisions, unique interactions and lots of customization, you'll find that Fatal Factions: Tempo has lots to offer the solo adventurer.
