How it feels

A fantasy adventure blending real-time exploration with deliberate turn-based tactical combat, set in a grim but family-friendly world of vampires and werewolves.

What players say

Players describe this as a deliberately old-school tactical RPG with a nonlinear campaign that revisits the original's conflict from a different perspective. Combat can feel unfair due to poor balance, especially in the first half, and the game suffers from crashes. Players also note a short campaign, a mage build being overpowered, and some fanservice in the protagonist's design.
