Legend of the Wargod

Alright. So far so good with [i]Legend of the Wargod[/i]. It's in early access right now, and I'll wait for full release before playing through it fully, but what is here so far is pretty solid JRPG gameplay with a bit of a light and airy look to it, coupled with a somewhat dark story. Providing some nice contrast from a story and a visual perspective. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3670855181 Combat is pretty standard JRPG shootout style, only in this one, you do also have a power charge up which unlocks special abilities in battle once the meter is full. So far, the battles were all pretty easy, but I also don't object to that since there is clearly a lot of game left to develop and plenty of challenges left to experience, or so I would imagine. You begin as an amnesiac Wargod summoned to stop the end of the world, known as The Shattering. To that end, you must progress to the King's Chamber and challenge the main baddie. Along the way, you pick up five companions. Of which, two can be active at any time along with the main character EXCEPT if a character is knocked out, at which point the next character in line takes the open slot. But you can also rev…

Great combat system with challenging battles. Captivating story with an interesting lore to support it.

Bought the game mostly to support the dev, was never a big fan of JRPGs, however I am having a blast with it, loved the Wu Tang reference, if there is one thing missing from games like this is references to gangsta rap. Keep up the great work.

it's rare to get Turn Based Battle Classic RPG style today with 3D environment. gameplay https://youtu.be/feoKJoevg6g
