About Dark Bestiary
Dark Bestiary is a turn-based tactic game with RPG elements. The very core of the game consists of continuous and exciting battles with monsters rather than a deep story. So, you will have to explore a rich combat system and discover your character’s possibilities. You can create unique combinations of tens of skills, talents, and items. Flexible classless character progression will allow you to bring any idea to life: create an inquisitor, spirit-caller, necromancer, or even eldritch archer… you are limited only by your own imagination.
There are many different ways of fighting enemies in Dark Bestiary: quick wit, relying on your companions, using brute force, or powerful spells. All abilities in the game can be combined into sets, each set gives you additional passive bonuses and allows for more in-depth tuning of your character.
Crush your enemies. Learn from your mistakes. Find your own path.

Fun little tactical RPG with Diablo style loot. Lots of Blizzard and Path of Exile inspired abilities and items. You can beat the campaign in a weekend but there is much more to do afterward. Different classes make playing it through again worthwhile. I don't normally care for tactical turn based games but this one I like because you can have your summons controlled by AI and turn the game speed up to 3x. This really streamlines the experience and cuts down on the tedium that other tactical turn based games suffer from. I actually didn't know it was a tactical turn based when I bought it and noped right out the first time I booted it up. It sat on my library for a couple years before I gave it a try and was pleasantly surprised at how good it is. There are still some bugs. For example sometimes units will stack and this bugs the game out a little bit. You can't move your character if another unit is on top of you. You have to wait and let it move on its own. There's some other issues with that bug but that's really the only one that stands out and it isn't game breaking. For how cheap the game is it's well worth the money.
Fun game, but has just decided to not work on steam deck. It has in the past. I've tried reinstalling, verifying game files... no idea what's going on. I would recommend it, but if it just fails to work, then obviously I'm going to have to advise others to skip this game.
Very grindy, very repetitive, but overall it's fun. If you wanna blaze through the campaign, just grab a gunslinger and make a crit build only leveling up precision and ferocity, you literally win or die in the first 15 seconds of any map.
Small simple tactics game, unfortunately is a bit too simple, but good way to spend some hours if you want a more relaxing experience
a lot of the content people enjoy is after the campaign, which is like telling someone to watch a show because its good after the first season. I'm glad they were able to make it through but I just couldn't. The hp pools of enemies are huge, making most battled tedious and boring. Skip it.
Fun turn based strategy monster slayer. All about that grind though, I will probably never get to max level. I thought it was a little light on story content, until I found out the development team consisted of like four people. Really impressive.
