Game Rant’s Allison Call sat down Lee Varley, game director for Miasma Chronicles, the post-apocalyptic tactical adventure from Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden creators The Bearded Ladies and global publisher 505 Games, to chat about presenting approachable but challenging tactical gameplay. Miasma Chronicles is available now on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Tactical combat rules can also be simplified as desired, making targeting easier and reducing reliance on chance. But for someone more interested in story than tactics, the game is tailored for that as well, Varley explains.

Varley emphasized the importance of player choice and accessibility by implementing different difficulty options. While Miasma Chronicles is known for its challenging gameplay, a light tactical mode has been introduced to reduce randomness and provide a more forgiving experience.
