Nowhere Prophet is a single-player card game with procedurally generated maps, high difficulty and permadeath. At its heart are two distinct parts of gameplay: Travel and combat.

During travel you navigate across a procedurally generated map. Make sure your convoy has enough resources to travel as you pick your route. On your journey you will encounter strange places and even stranger people. You will be thrust into situations that put the fate of your followers in your hands.

If you’re lucky enough to gain some rewards, maybe for helping someone – or robbing them, then you can invest those to improve your decks. Recruit more followers to have more and different units to put into battle. Equip your prophet or level up and learn new skills to have access to stronger action cards in combat.

You will have to overcome some enemies to keep your convoy and resources together. And sometimes you may even want to pick a fight for righteousness or just for loot. Once in battle the game changes to the turn-based card game mode.

Play convoy cards to put your followers onto the field and position them so you can overcome your enemy. Or play action cards to dramatically change the battlefield. But be careful: If you’re wounded you will have to find a safe place to heal. And if one of your followers takes too many wounds, they are lost forever.

Nowhere Prophet is set on a far off planet called Soma. Your story begins many years after the Crash, a complete technological collapse. Civilization has broken down and the lack of resources made everyone turn either bandit or madman.

In this world inspired by Indian culture, you lead a convoy of outcastes. These desperate men and woman following your vision of a better future. Under your guidance, they travel with you through the wastelands. Your goal is the Crypt, a mystical place that promises untainted technology and safety.

If you can survive long enough to find it.

Prepare for a story-driven campaign within the Sentinel Comics universe as you join forces with an ever-growing team of heroes to face a wide variety of villains. What seems like a typical bank heist reveals itself to be just the beginning of a much more sinister plan! Create your hero, gather your team, and save the world in this exciting new turn-based strategy!

Highlights

  • Build Your Team – select fromthe many available heroes and unlock more throughout
  •  Full Story Campaign – writers and creators from Sentinel Comics
  •  Freeform Movement – Turn-based game that allows you to move anywhere
  •  Squad Dynamics – heroes or villains can work together for more powerful actions
  •  Massive Mission Variety – multiple objectives, interactions and dangers
  •  Create Your Hero – choose backstory, archetype, powers, and appearance

What kind of hero will you be?

Sentinels of Freedom will feature Chapter 1 – as a self contained story – on release with many levels, new heroes and villains, along with hero upgrades. Chapter 2 will release shortly after in 2020 with other chapters planned to follow.

Custom Heroes
Choose the character’s backstory, personality, power source, abilities and costume. Heroes have “stances” that provide boosts to certain stats like extra movement along with powerful sets of abilities and can be fully customized to fit your play style.

Build your hero from 12 exciting themes – fill your stances with powerful abilities from any three:

  •  Power Melee – When you really want to hit someone really hard.
  •  Combos – Concentrate your attacks, spread ’em out, or bring a friend!
  •  Supportive – Whether protecting or attacking, the right move requires no planning.
  •  Blaster – Attack as many as you can in several different areas!
  •  Interceptor – Never let an enemy out of your sights and punish wrong moves.
  •  Minions – Disposable and endless, have your own minions fight for you!
  •  Gadgets – Deploy an arsenal of gadgets that eliminate all who oppose you.
  •  And more!

Sentinels of FreedomCreating a superhero identity is more than a costume selection! Choose how your hero uses their abilities, different weapons, attack styles, and special effects; some themes even have different types of units that you can summon. Refine your heroic identity throughout the game – changing everything about how your hero looks, all the way down to your hero’s body type, between any mission.

Sync and Vigilance Actions
Sync and Vigilance actions add life to the battlefield when characters perform additional actions out of sequence, triggered by special conditions. When a character performs an action, sync actions allow other characters to take part or enhance that action, like a character creating a distraction to remove the target’s Evade defense before an attack lands. Positioning your team to take advantage of these extra actions can be critical to the success of a mission.

Vigilance allows an inactive character to react to the active character based on various triggers, such as moving through their line of sight. Each character has a “vigilance zone” around them which sets the chance of the vigilance action happening. These actions can go much further than the standard overwatch with actions like “keep cover” which allows a character to try and find new cover when flanked.

Large Scale Missions
Players will embark on several missions throughout the campaign. These missions are broken up into groups of engagements – each offering unique objectives, enemy types and player choice on where to go next – keeping each feeling fresh and unique. Another benefit to these smaller engagements is that the player will not be overwhelmed by both the quantity of enemies and time for each turn. However, stringing all these engagements together still allows the player to feel like their heroes are very powerful as they dispatch lots of enemies throughout the mission.
