![]() ![]() Dungeon exploring never felt so good, as there are normal and heroic difficulties, and once a dungeon has been completed, you can unlock a legendary difficulty which adds replay value and more challenges to get some stronger loot hopefully. On top of that, there are traps to avoid and puzzles to figure out while you’re doing battle with progressively stronger enemies. Speaking of dungeons, every dungeon in Battle Chasers: Nightwar is randomized. Since your characters don’t regenerate health or mana after battles, learning how to make the best use of your overdrive is critical to success, and you’ll quickly learn to stop wasting mana on AOE attacks for weaker enemies so that you don’t find yourself out of resources inside of a dungeon. This overdrive allows you to use abilities that you might not have the mana for, which adds a new strategic element to basic RPG turn-based combat. ![]() Some characters can defend and generate Overdrive, while others are granted Overdrive from basic attacks. The unique aspect of Nightwar comes from bonus mana which is earned with actions taken. I would have preferred a little more meat and potatoes to the story, but the gameplay is good enough to keep you moving along.Ĭombat consists of old-school RPG gameplay elements, including a battle meter and the typical HP/Mana reserve pools. No one has ever returned from the other side of this seemingly impenetrable wall of mist, so it’s up to Gully and the gang to figure out what her father was up to and hopefully return with their lives intact. Nightwar involves Gully searching for her father who’s crossed the Grey Line and hasn’t returned. The story isn’t very enthralling, but it does a decent job of setting a tone for the start of what could lead to an epic series of games. I needed this in my life as quickly as possible, so I was super elated when I got the email that Battle Chasers: Nightwar was ready for reviews.Īs the game begins, you take control of Gully, Calibretto, and Garrison and you’re off in search of your allies – Nolan and Red Monika who have gone ahead to discover the lands on their own. ![]() Unfortunately, that meeting didn’t go so well, and he only got about five minutes of demo time, but my hype level never once decreased. It’s not that I don’t like indies, I just don’t always cover them the way I’d like to (I still haven’t even finished Undertale.)Īfter a 15 minute demo at PAX East, I was so excited for Battle Chasers: Nightwar that I intentionally made Josh schedule an appointment to see it because I believed in it so much. I’ve championed this game repeatedly on my Twitter for the past several months, and that’s not an easy task for an indie game to accomplish with me. I don’t really do comics, but I absolutely love Darksiders, so when I saw Battle Chasers: Nightwar at PAX East this year, I was completely enthralled. ![]()
