Pascals Wager’s Tides of Oblivion washes up on Android and iOS today

Tipsworks has released the newest expansion for Pascal’s Wager. Tides of Oblivion has been anticipated for a fair while, and brings the Action-RPG to a brand new aquatic setting – Ichthyosauria. Though a mouthful of sea water to say, the new setting adds fresh enemies, characters, and new adventures for the player, as they sound the depths of Ichthyosauria and dredge up its secrets for themselves.

The actual setup of Tides of Oblivion is fairly simple – Jerold, a familiar friend, asks Terence to team up with him to travel to the land of Ichthyosauria, and find a way to save it. Jerold is also the new playable character, and if the trailer is anything to go by, he seems to be a duelist who wields a rapier, with a courtly manner of fighting.

For those that don’t know Pascal’s Wager, it’s basically mobile’s answer to Dark Souls, channeling influences from the FromSoftware series to create an outstanding mobile Action-RPG – just read our Pascal’s Wager review if you don’t believe us! The new setting of Ichthyosauria gives off some serious fishing hamlet vibes from Bloodborne’s Old Hunter DLC, which we’re always happy to see.

You can watch the trailer for Tides of Oblivion below, which features a little gameplay, and some suitably ominous narration:

The Pascal’s Wager giveaway is now over

May 22, 2020 The giveaway has now ended and we’ve dispatched the free code to the lucky winners. Check your email inbox to see if it’s you!

Pascal’s Wager achieved what we all thought was impossible: making Dark Souls or Bloodborne work on mobile. And it achieved it with aplomb, providing a visually-stunning portable experience that’s absolutely dripping with darkness. The enemies are tough, the environments encourage you to explore, and the combat is just the right level of tricky and fun to encourage you to keep pushing on.

We absolutely loved the RPG, which you can tell from reading our Pascal’s Wager review. We called it “A bravely ambitious game. Worth playing if you are not easily frustrated and prepared to use a separate controller.” Slight control hiccups aside, you should forgive your friends for mistaking it for Bloodborne on your phone.

To celebrate our love for Pascal’s Wager, we gave it away for free to our lucky readers. We had 25 iOS codes up for grabs, and we invited you to fill in a simple form below to get in with a chance of winning. Android folk: Pascal’s Wager isn’t out just yet on your platform, but it is coming. Sorry you miss out on this particular giveaway; we’ll make it up to you.

The giveaway is now closed, and we’ve sent the iOS codes out to the lucky winners via the email address you shared when you filled out the form. Please check your inbox to see if it was you!
