    Meet the Cast
      Abigale



      Abigale is a devout follower of the Church who was given orders to keep watch over Galahad and keep his sword loyal to their cause. Though she and Galahad have fought together side by side in the past, she has a cold disdain towards Galahad for having so little faith in the Church.



    Trina


      Once she was a part of the Church, but ever since she was turned into a vampire, she’s been reviled and hunted by crusaders and witch hunters. She still has kept a playful personality despite her past. That is mainly because she has never found the crusaders to be much of a problem because of her skill with a scythe as well as having vampire strength. She is very confident in her fighting skills and is very enthusiastic about finding Galahad, her new play thing.


    Slan

      Of the three sisters in arms, she is the eldest of them. She was born into the world a demon and ever since has been reviled as one. She’s not fond of outsiders, especially those related to the Church. So it’s no wonder that Galahad and Slan really don’t get along when they first meet.



    Gila

      Gila used to be an inquisitor for the Church. She made many a wretched soul pour their hearts out and repent for their actions against the Church. Gila is incredibly sadistic and very much enjoyed her duties, however because of her maniacal and chaotic tendencies to go...lets say...a little crazy, she herself fell under inquisition, accused of being possessed by the devil. She underwent the tortures she herself had inflicted on others and because of that became blind in one eye. She however managed to escape from the Church’s clutches and now turns her blade against her former comrades who did her wrong. She definitely has a hard time trusting anybody, including her newfound sisters in arms and fights with them...a lot.




    Galahad


      Despite not having any faith, Galahad like many had little choice but to be conscripted by the Church to fight in the Holy Wars. Though he achieved great feats in battle, he never was able to raise his rank because of his lack of faith. So he spent his days serving under his commander, Lady Abigale. Now having traveled far out of the Church's domain, will Galahad continue down the burning path of righteous blood and honor laid out for him by the Church, or will he take up the sword and fight for himself and forge his own path?

    "Dark Maidens" is a badly made amateurish side scrolling 2D brawler that objectively failed based on the SteamDB player counts. What do you do in the game? Well, you fight some stuff but there's no depth to the combat and no compelling reason to play, especially given how bad the "art" is. At least it's not pixelcrap? In terms of visuals, this features really godawful "babby's first Wacom tablet" tier "art" instead of real graphics. It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to do the job of creating 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter. What matters is that this looks much worse than most other games because of that decision, and that's a major deterrent to gamers. The deplorably bad visuals here come across as an insult to gamers. There's no initial download price, but the developer was charging a completely delusional... and don't laugh, even though it is funny... $12 USD for this. They really thought this was worth twelve bucks. That idea alone is more amusing than the entire game. Price barriers, especially on low quality products, can be a direct cause of failure. It seems like a nice ge…

    Its not as bad as it could have been, but I'm glad I didn't have to pay for this and the game was free to play. The voice acting is okay. It's kind of impressive it even has voice acting, especially with the amount of voice acting that it has. It is also kind of funny at times. That said the game itself is not very impressive and could use a lot more variety. As it is, it is extremely repetitive, even for such a short game

    The game is very, very bad, the controls are clunky, the combat system is complete garbage, the graphics are poor. How are there so many positive reviews when it's impossible to play?
