Sombre Descent: SoulsLike RPG – an offline RPG-RogueLike in the spirit of the old-school gaming tradition. There are nice pixel graphics, atmospheric soundtracks and danger that lurks around every corner. Welcome to the world of dark fantasy where you'll take on the role of a lonely wanderer who has to clear his way through hordes of monsters! The developers from Wretchery have released a good game product.
Role-playing plot:
History is silent who you are and how you came to these cursed lands. However, it is obvious that you are an experienced warrior, as you finish to nail another enemy with jokes. This land is littered with monsters of all kinds and the hero’s goal is to clear the entire territory of these evil spirits. The map can be navigated through both land routes and multi-level dungeons. Soon the darkness will swallow these territories and the inhabitants of the neighbouring villages have only you to rely on!
Gameplay of RPG Sombre Descent:
You have to create a character from scratch, choose a class and train them in the key skills on which your main game strategy will be based. A recognisable representative of the automatic SoulsLike genre is before us. You outfit your hero, upgrade his abilities and send him on another dangerous mission. Battles here, though taking place turn-based, but are in auto mode.
In total, the character has 4 main characteristics: strength, agility, intelligence and endurance. At the beginning of the game you can also give the hero two personal characteristics from the list:
bigotry;
masochism;
rascalism;
insanity;
aggressiveness;
heroism;
wretch;
cruelty;
ingenuity;
cunning;
secrecy;
obsession;
genius.
In Sombre Descent you can raise the level of the hero to level 25 and level up to the 4th class. Class skills are also available: novice, recruit and vagabond. All RPGs are very similar in terms of game mechanics and Sombre was no exception absorbing their best qualities.
Features of Sombre Descent:
A fascinating dark fantasy world and game lore that definitely won't bore you in a couple of evenings.
A self-contained SoulsLike that took the best of classic RPGs.
Fight monsters on the ground and in dungeons, take to the main mission and additional quests!
Get rewards, buy weapons, improve your inventory and upgrade your hero.
High replayability. Play each time as if it was the first time all over again choosing a different class.
Navigate the level of difficulty of the missions, choose your tactics and equipment for a single hike.
In this RPG hero dies just once, after which the entire gameplay will have to start all over again. So with each new passage of Sombre you will have more knowledge in terms of tactics and experience in dealing with even the most difficult goblins. In particularly critical moments you can always sneak away from the battlefield if you see that your hero is on his last breath. In this case you can return to the city, change equipment, lick wounds, think over tactics and go straight back for revenge or a little more to upgrade the hero taking in the tavern branch quests that are not particularly affecting the overall plot but very well can pamper the gold and not only.
This RPG gives the gamer space and freedom. With its well-developed upgrade system Descent will surprise even experienced players. Here the oppressive atmosphere of dark fantasy is blended with picturesque landscapes and funny monologues of the protagonist in the course of the turn-based battles. The mythological-tale motifs and influence of the best RPGs in history can be seen here with the naked eye. Extra quests, a charismatic and brutal hero, the atmosphere of a godforsaken corner of the world, goosebumping music and hordes of monsters!
Will you dare to go on this dangerous and extremely difficult journey through the cursed lands to clear them once and for all from those who crawled out of the hell itself? Test your skill because Sombre Descent: SoulsLike RPG is perfect for it!
