Fireshine Games has announced the debut game from French studio La Grange, Toads of the Bayou, which is set to launch on Steam in 2024. Toads of the Bayou is an isometric, turn-based tactical game with roguelike deckbuilding and settlement-building elements set within a cursed swamp. The game takes players on a journey through the deep south as they control a group of well-dressed toads who must fight off evil forces to protect their settlement.
Yes, well dressed toads. I don’t know that many toads but the usually don’t wear clothes at all so I’m quite looking forward to seeing some toads who make an effort with their appearance.
The game features strategic grid-based combat of a turn-based tactical gam, along with the excitement of roguelike deckbuilding and settlement-building elements. Players must build and fortify their settlement with unique buildings, while upgrading their abilities across each run. The challenge comes from switching between combat and building management in two distinct phases of gameplay.As players progress through the game, they will encounter waves of Baron Samedi’s forces, which they must battle to protect their settlement.
“Toads of the Bayou is about combining the southern gothic spookiness and the sweet taste of cartoon memories, into our own take on the turn-based tactical genre,” said Alexandre Clement, Game Designer at La Grange. “The goal for us was to allow the player to establish their place in this cursed environment, and make them appreciate how hard they fought and what they stood for. Nothing is ever granted in the Bayou, and thriving against the Baron’s evil forces is a real achievement.”
