Jan. 2025
Very interesting style for a dungeon crawler. Here are some of the main points: Character customization is decent, with the option to multiclass up to 5 times. Difficulty increases as the player levels. Equipment is acquired through a unique ambush system (some tiles in dungeons are locations for ambush where you can fight special mobs and win chests with the equipment) Dungeons often multiple levels up and down and different mechanics that the user will have to learn in order to complete them (teleporting, switches, rails etc) As with most rpgs, difficulty is highest at the beginning, but gets easier as the user gets control over the decisions that impact the power of his team A fatality system involving Life Points (Characters who lose all of them are permanently dead, but they can be restored in the guild over time) All in all, decent game for this genre. Just expect a ton of grind and waiting for teammates who have lost a LP to recover before rejoining your party.
