A new trailer for The Technomancer, the upcoming sci-fi RPG from Spiders Studios, has been released. The trailer focuses on the game's companions feature. With companions players can explore and fight alongside other AI-controlled friends to gain the upper hand.
"All your of companions have their own mood, preferences and moral code. If you act too much against their own believes they might get mad at you and go so far as to leave your group." the narrator explains. "On the contrary shine and prove worthy of their trust and you will nurture friendships.. or more." the narrator adds.
Companions will have their own agenda and preoccupations and will ask the player for help or favours when needed. When agreeing to help a companion the game will start off a new story arc and will let the player get to know the companion through a series of multiple quests. All companions level up alongside the player, increasing their effectiveness in combat. In addition the player is able to upgrade the gear of a companion to further improve their combat capabilities.
