Let’s get the bad out of the way first. If you play RPGs strictly for deep, groundbreaking narratives, look elsewhere. The story is so generic, clichéd, and corny that it feels like they just copy-pasted a checklist of basic fantasy tropes. Honestly, the game would have been better if they scrapped the dialogue entirely. A few narrated cutscenes and some scattered in-game lore would have done the job without making me roll my eyes. BUT... the gameplay completely redeems it. The slow-mo tactical combat is genuinely great and incredibly satisfying to pull off. It carries the entire experience. The class system leans heavily on the good old "holy trinity" (Tank/Healer/DPS), but the skill trees are complex enough that you won't get bored. The itemization is where it really shines; it perfectly scratches that loot variety and build-crafting itch. Combining the class mechanics with the right gear lets you put together some really solid, fun builds. On the technical and design side, you'll need to manage your expectations. You are going to encounter some bugs and glitches along the way. Also, the so-called "random procedural dungeons" are about as random as a rigged deck of cards. They have a very limited pool of layouts and biomes, so you'll be experiencing a lot of déjà vu while grinding through them. TL;DR: You can skip most of the dialogue, embrace the slow-mo combat, and enjoy the tactical loot-fest despite the occasional bug and repetitive dungeons. It’s a solid game if you value mechanics and gameplay over melodrama.
Dark Envoy is an indie Combat RPG for people who like RTwP. Rejoice! The character creation aspects, and the RPG side in general are relatively light, but are enough to connect and justify the exploration and encounters, provide skill trees/progression, and it's more fulsome than their previous game. The setting is a mixture of standard fantasy/magic fare with some sci-fi and gunpowder, and it works well. The game has some bugs and some jank (the most annoying thing being sometimes having to click orders multiple times in combat) although post-release support has been strong right up to the day I'm writing this, a lot of things have been patched and a 2.0 version is coming, which is welcome. The combat is quite good - there are some nice interesting mechanics in here, painting attacks is a favorite of mine - it isn't all just rote repetition of what's been done elsewhere. The game allows both slow time, or fully paused for tactical mode, (you can adjust this by hitting tab when in tactical mode). Overall, it's not perfect so be aware of that (we're looking forward to that 2.0 release, Event Horizon) but it's fun, and worth checking out for those who love pause and play RPG combat. It's great to see a smaller dev supporting RTwP play.
It is an interesting game. The combat is more fun than expected, scratching that same itch as Icewind Dale or old-school tactical RTS titles like Commandos. I especially liked the "bullet-time" pause, which allowed me to precisely micro-manage the characters. The character builds seem permissive enough for some fun experimentation. One nitpick that I have is that the dialogues can feel a bit wooden at times, but the game is definitely worth a look if you’re in for a fun indie title.
It is enjoyable to play for those that like more of a gameplay of NWN, BG1-2, DA, instead of BG3, Divinity OS 1-2. I like them all. Now it's on the 70% deal, and it's more then worth it. Character freedom is satisfining. There is a mage class. And I made a mage barbarian. It let me do it. I was not forced to make a glass cannot mage. I could equip whatever. I did. I feel like I found a hidden class. That is cool.
Epic as hell. It's true there are some annoying technical bugs, but the devs have worked hard to improve all that. The gameplay is just exceptional. Imo, the story is awesome and deep as well. It's a lot deeper of a game than it might appear on the surface. The story to this game I feel is inspired - like it's predecessor Tower of Time. Whoever it is that makes the stories for this studio is a really inspired guy. The loot system is a lot more complex than it may seem and there really are a huge variety of builds to experiment with. I really can't recommend this game enough. I've played close to 800 hours now and I never get tired of this game. Also I wanted to give a big shoutout to the music & composer of the music for this game. It's so epic and really fits the mood, and helps put you into a good mood. Please, just give it a chance!
