Basically a bite-sized Darkest Dungeon. Reclaim your castle in 45 days, or the dark forces that reside there will destroy the entire realm. You start off with just your king and a tavern that can recruit a single peasant each day. Head out on adventures to earn gold and resources, then use them to build new structures and upgrade existing ones. Each of your characters can have two levels of training, which determines what class they end up with (including your king, who starts off with the unique class Monarch.) For instance, a peasant trained with one round of melee training will turn into a Warrior. Training them in melee a second time will turn them into a Berserker, or in magic for a Sorcerer, or in faith for a Monk, etc. Individual characters can have their weapons and armor upgraded (mage upgrades make their spells cheaper, while melee upgrades upgrade HP) for increasing costs; and there are also research upgrades that can improve your party as a whole. Finally, there are artifacts and items. Each character can equip one artifact, which can be freely switched between characters while you're in town. Artifacts have a variety of effects, such as increasing HP, provi…

Good game

6/10 This is so frustrating for me, because I really like so many aspects of this game. Upgrading your town and using that to upgrade your folks feels very rewarding - especially considering the different combinations of folk upgrades you can do. The artifacts and items feel really undercooked and underwhelming. But the fights are fun. The art and music is really great. That said... the game is just far too punishing. It feels like you never do enough damage, never get enough money, never heal enough. I wouldn't mind grinding out previous locations to get money and ingredients, but you're also on a time limit which feels really unnecessary. It's just too hard and too stressful. With some changes, it could be such an awesome game. I tried a bunch of runs but the difficulty scaling is so intense.

It's fun. Runs well on Linux.

Really like the visuals and the variety of folks, monsters and bosses

nice
