Maliki: Poison Of The Past

About

Play as Maliki and her chaotic family as they battle Poison, a plant-like entity that has warped space and time. The game blends adventure and turn-based strategy across shifting historical settings, from ancient ruins to futuristic cities. Solve puzzles tied to time manipulation while commanding a crew with distinct abilities in grid-based combat. Each decision affects how timelines overlap, altering available resources and enemy layouts in later battles. The game stands out for pairing familial banter with head-scratcher tactics. Blue Banshee’s quirky art style and Ankama’s polish make the bizarre world pop. Early playtests show 78% of testers found the time-shifting mechanics "refreshing but approachable."
