enjoying the concept and style of the game. its good sure but its still ridiculous how many times you crash in this game even though the most recent update says they fixed alot of it. 3 hours - 3 crashes... 2 of which are within 20 minutes during the same reinforcement fight. my PC is strong enough to run baldur's gate at maximum so its not my hardware.

After 100+ hours in BG3, I began searching for a replacement. And while Dark Envoy isn't on the same level, it certainly has the heart and brings a lot of fun. The music is spot on, the setting and story are great. The character creation is deeply customization without being too complex (e.g. Pathfinder); with each class getting multiple sub classes the ability to further customize with enchanting. I think I spent as much time making character builds as i did playing the game. The biggest issue I have with the game is combat can get a little stale with reinforcements. It can be a joy to set up a well thought out bottleneck and utterly ruin your enemies as they charge in and get ruined by your summons. The down side is after you do this, the game will often have a second, third or even fourth wave of reinforcements that will come in a random direction and completely throw your setup out of balance. This can be fun for a bit but can get annoying as the chaos of trying to deal with so many mobs becomes less about planning and executing as most RPGs are, and more into a more arcadey like gameplay that can get a bit stale. However, none of that takes away from a superb title that seems to get better with every update.

If you're a fan of customizable and easy-to-learn RPG experiences, the fantasy steampunk Dark Envoy might be a game for you. Battle & Combat Dark Envoy offers a combat system that's both accessible and rewarding. Controlling all four party members feels intuitive, and the ability to set stances allows them to act autonomously, which means you won't need to micromanage every action. They’ll handle basic attacks on their own, leaving you free to focus on strategy and special abilities. The game’s depth shines through in how you can combine various debuffs to amplify damage or create new status effects, adding a layer of complexity that keeps battles engaging. One unique feature of Dark Envoy is the possibility to draw how some spells should be deployed. You can choose to play battles in real-time, slow-motion, or even pause the combat entirely. Taking cover reduces ranged damage and using the environment to your advantage—like hacking gun turrets, shooting explosive barrels or plants, or slowing enemies down with quicksand—can give you an edge in the fight. Character customization & RPG Character customization is a good feature, with 4 classes and 12 specializations that allow for a wide range of character builds. You have a limited number of passive and active abilities to equip, but game’s flexible respec system lets you experiment freely until you find the perfect build. Your characters rely heavily on their gear, which can give huge boosts to their stats and attributes based on the type of armor or trinket they’re wearing. You can also enchant this gear with passive bonuses. Story & Exploration The story might start off slow, but it really picks up as unexpected plot twists emerge, gradually revealing a rich and intriguing narrative. Each location on the world map unlocks in a set order after key events, and each one is like its own dungeon packed with enemies, traps, side areas, and usually one or more objectives to complete. You can explore these dungeons at your own pace, even sneaking past enemies with a basic stealth system. Besides the main path, you'll often find side areas with color-coded chests that contain random loot and resources. During the main campaign you have the option to make impactful story choices such as repair or destroy a powerful machine. Verdict This game checks all the boxes for a traditional RPG experience, offering everything from attribute allocation during level-ups to crafting, unique items, and upgradeable abilities. Plus, the quality-of-life features like free respecs, save-anywhere functionality, able to paus in battles and various difficulty options make it convenient to play. Whether you're a seasoned RPG enthusiast or new to the genre, the Guns N’ Sorcery world of Dark Envoy delivers a rich and engaging journey that’s well worth your time. It’s not Baldurs gate 3 perfection but it delivers on what is most important, it’s very fun to play.

A very nice RPG game. It is forced on combat, with very few simple puzzles. It has controllable pause (mean, you can pause the combat and set the orders). Also a very important thing is that you literally cannot make wrong choiced when you select your character's attributes and abilities. They always can be reset and redistirbuted anew. Even class and specialization may be changed if you want to try something new.

This game is an excellent RPG which is far better than most AAA games. I highly recommend this game, it's just a pity that not many people have heard of it! It's a game where choices matter, and it's rather easy to get hooked and start a second playthrough right after you finish the game for the first time. At least, that's what I did! There's cosmetic character customisation for the two main characters, and you meet more people along the journey. Being able to take up to four characters per mission allows you to test all the classes and specialisations. There's a pleasant crafting system that lets you make the items you want, with the bonuses you want. The devs are responsive on their Discord, and bugs are acknowledged and regular updates are made. I highly recommend this game and Tower of Time from the same company.
