Endless RPG - Untold Tales

Endless RPG – Untold Tales is a procedurally driven open-world RPG developed and published by Kezarus that embraces sandbox freedom and tactical depth over tightly scripted storytelling. Rather than guiding players through a fixed narrative arc, it places them in a dynamically generated world where events unfold organically and choices shape the flow of each campaign. The game positions itself as a living simulation where kingdoms shift, towns evolve, and conflicts emerge without relying solely on prewritten quest chains. This approach immediately distinguishes it from more linear role-playing experiences. At the heart of the game is its procedural world generation. Every new playthrough constructs a fresh map populated with diverse biomes, settlements, dungeons, and roaming factions. Environmental systems such as day-night cycles and weather effects add texture to exploration, subtly influencing encounters and travel. The world does not remain static; towns can grow stronger or fall into decline, alliances may form or dissolve, and conflicts between factions can escalate without direct player intervention. This dynamic structure creates a sense that the world exists independently, allowing players to act within it rather than simply follow a predetermined path. Character creation and progression are among the game’s most ambitious features. Players build an entire party, customizing appearance, race, and skill focus with remarkable flexibility. The absence of rigid class restrictions allows for hybrid builds and experimental combinations. With a vast array of skills available, characters can specialize in heavy frontline combat, ranged precision, magical support, or intricate tactical synergies. The breadth of customization encourages experimentation and replayability, as no two parties need to function the same way. This freedom aligns with the sandbox philosophy at the core of the game’s design. Combat unfolds in turn-based tactical battles where positioning, terrain awareness, and skill coordination determine success. Each encounter requires careful planning, especially in early stages when resources are limited and characters lack advanced abilities. The system rewards strategic thinking rather than brute force, making preparation just as important as execution. Battles can become challenging quickly, particularly against well-equipped enemies or organized factions, reinforcing the need to adapt strategies to different scenarios. While the difficulty curve may feel steep at times, it underscores the importance of thoughtful party composition and skill synergy. Exploration and questing operate within the game’s emergent framework. Rather than following a singular main storyline, players encounter dynamically generated tasks, faction requests, and environmental discoveries that gradually shape their personal narrative. Whether delving into ancient ruins, mediating disputes between rival settlements, or defending a town under threat, each action contributes to the evolving state of the world. This emergent storytelling approach offers variety but can also feel less guided compared to story-heavy RPGs, requiring players to actively define their own goals. Visually, the game favors clarity and functionality over spectacle. The art style is modest, prioritizing readable interfaces and clear battlefield layouts. While it does not aim for cinematic presentation, the simplicity ensures that strategic elements remain easy to interpret during combat. Sound design complements the atmosphere without overshadowing gameplay, maintaining focus on tactical decisions and exploration. As a whole, Endless RPG – Untold Tales succeeds in delivering a sandbox RPG experience centered on player agency and systemic depth. Its procedural world, flexible character development, and tactical combat create a foundation that supports extensive replayability. While its presentation remains understated and its difficulty may challenge newcomers, the game rewards patience and experimentation. For players who appreciate emergent storytelling, open-ended exploration, and strategic party building, it offers a compelling journey shaped not by scripted destiny but by the decisions made within its ever-shifting world.

Where has this game been hiding? This is a prime example of simple presentation hiding a massive level of creativity, I would say significantly more than the store page indicates. Several things weren't really clear to me regarding gameplay until I bought and began playing it, like the turn based combat being grid based rather than a static ATB final fantasy style system as some of the pictures would indicate. The level of interaction and jobs in towns aren't really mentioned other than talking about the dynamicism of the generated world, but to me it seemed from the store page like that world existed almost independently of the party's adventures, like it was just kind of a backdrop as you went dungeon diving. To clarify in case anyone had the questions I did after reading the store page, combat is movement and positioning based, the world exists parallel to your adventure with some opportunities to influence it in small ways, which is a really remarkable approach and makes your characters feel like citizens of the world you're in rather than the main characters. It creates a lot of really fascinating emergent stories without them explicitly having to be told. I do think there's a lot of opportunity to grow here and I hope the developer comes back to it. Having variations of events or more dialogue options rather than the same "it was the apprentice with the box" outcome every time would be relatively little writing to keep those events much more fresh and adaptable over the course of a playthrough. While there's enough gameplay here to last a few dozen hours per playthrough you'll unfortunately see most of the events in the world within the first 2 or 3 hours and they'll just repeat after that. Having variations or even random events and storylines based on your characters' personality hooks like in wyldermyth would just add some engagement with the world and make the settlements more distinct. All that said, this is really good. It relies a lot on the core gameplay loop and dynamic world but in a way that really sucks in the player and makes for enjoyable exploration and combat, and I really like the way settlement interactions are handled here. I sincerely hope to see more content from this developer.

nice one

This is a fun little grind game where you run around being heroes, getting gear, and upgrading your skills. The entire point of the game is character progression, and your characters to be basically anything you want - within reason. For example if you tried to make 6 archers you're probably going to have a bad time. As long as you go into this game not expecting a story, you'll have a good time.

Got it on sale, but this game is definitely worth $13. Solid RPG sandbox that lets you build a party of 4 right at the start. There are enough skill trees and builds to keep you playing for the next level up.

So much fun
