In the post-apocalyptic world of Miasma Chronicles, players embark on a gripping journey with Elvis, a young man possessing a unique glove that can control the devastating Miasma. Developed by The Bearded Ladies, known for Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden, this turn-based tactical game offers a captivating story and memorable characters, though it follows a mostly linear narrative. While the exploration aspect may feel repetitive, the game truly shines in its intense combat, featuring Elvis's glove and strategic elements inspired by games like X-COM. With customization options, evolving characters, and no need for grinding, Miasma Chronicles delivers an accessible...

Development studio The Bearded Ladies is no stranger when it comes to tactical RPGs. Miasma Chronicles is a deep and satisfying take on the genre that's not afraid to bite back.

While Miasma Chronicles' combat stylings are compelling, an undercooked narrative riddled with cliches, weak characters, and some glitchy behaviors hold this tactical RPG from its potential.

Miasma Chronicles is a gorgeous tactical strategy game that has some interesting ideas, but playing on the Steam Deck is not ideal without changes.

I had a great time with Miasma Chronicles, and I legitimately didn't want it to end. The accessible tactical combat had me coming back for more, and I loved the environments and the visually pleasing destruction the Miasma has wrought. Though its story is pretty wonky, I still enjoyed what I experienced and hope that a sequel will fully flesh out what is happening in this world.

A serviceable tactics game lumbered with an uninspiring setting and narrative, brought right down by bigoted stereotypes.

From the creators of Mutant Year Zero comes an action packed spiritual successor. Miasma Chronicles takes you on a wild adventure through an America overrun by mutants and twisted by a mysterious alien entity known as the Miasma. Fight back with magic and guns and big stompy robots and save the great United States!

If there’s ever a world-ending apocalypse, it will be interesting to see if any fictional scenarios line up with the real thing. There are many to choose from. Zombie plagues, nuclear holocausts, weird magical uprisings, vampire takeovers, and many more. Before I bum myself out even further, let’s dive into the new turn-based RPG, Miasma Chronicles, and see if its version of the apocalypse rings true.

Despite its sometimes-awkward writing, Miasma Chronicles manages to tell an interesting story full of twists and turns in a world that’s incredibly interesting and well thought out. And while its aspects of exploration are lacking, the game still manages to be a fun time thanks to in-game special abilities and the fun world-building that goes alongside making the story a blast to play.

Guerilla warfare isn’t easy to do in turn-based strategy. Sneaking in, staying hidden, and choosing your targets is as far as it goes. Miasma Chronicles adds extra layers to that strategy, such as elevation and pre-battle target elimination. Every battle encourages you to learn about the environment, about your character’s abilities, and asks you to make the best of a bad situation. Throw in an intriguing post-apocalyptic landscape, and you are immersed in the guerilla tactical experience.

Miasma Chronicles is a fascinating experience that aims for a narrow target and hits it, for the most part. Making a serious, tactical RPG a vehicle for compelling storytelling is a tough proposition because the broad appeal of the latter is often at odds with the brutal vibes of the former. But with its tailored difficulty options, stealth options outside of combat, and, of course, the solid weight of the storytelling itself, Miasma Chronicles succeeds in its mission.
