AUSTIN, TX – November 18^th, 2015 – Twin Otter Studios has formed in anticipation for its first studio release, the tactical RPG Arcadian Atlas. Featuring innovative job classes, a rich character driven narrative, strategic grid-based battles and a jazz infused soundtrack, Arcadian Atlas is a lushly hand-crafted 2D isometric tactical RPG that takes the rich history of the genre and makes it thoroughly modern.

“Twin Otter Studios’ mission with Arcadian Atlas is to create the tactics RPG we always wanted to play ourselves,” said Becca Bair, Co-Founder & Creative Director at Twin Otter Studios.

In the richly detailed pixel art world of Arcadia, watch your footing & mind the elevations as you climb your way around the maps -- A turned back or tumble on the battlefield could cost you a friend’s life. Let the moody jazz soundtrack carry you through a thought provoking & ruthless story of love, deceit, murder, companionship & war. Meant to be a modern go at the Tactics Ogre & Final Fantasy Tactics game style, Arcadian Atlas was designed from the ground up to incorporate more challenging battle strategies, new & balanced job classes, and darker subject matter for a more mature audience.
