This RPG is like a turn-based medieval fantasy version of STALKER GAMMA with magic!
You will have fight faithless heathens (bandits) and many Unique monsters (Giant Spiders, Wolves, Bears, Trolls, Ghouls etc.). While balancing your characters overall health determines your overall fitness to take on such foes: make sure you have a proper diet, i.e cannot just eat slop,gruel and hardtack everyday, you must ensure you are sleeping enough on average, if you won your last fight with 3 broken bones and deep lacerations, you must splint the broken bones, utilize bandages to stop the bleeding, and give yourself some time for your body to heal. And not just physically, your character's going to struggle with self-confidence for a bit and you will be less effective in combat as a result for a time and will need to get a couple wins under your belt to restore your mental fortitude. Which makes sense, you just got by the skin of your teeth and probably shouldve died... its appropriate you don't feel good about it.
As an adventurer you are doing the best you can with a bad situation. You are just a mercenary looking for work in this town. The world is merciless. You must pick your fights wisely, and go for easy picking until you get more gear, more levels for more skill points, and more medicine/tools in your tool belt.
Character customization is great. They are adding more and more builds to the game as time goes on so I won't list them all. You can definitely choose your archtype in a variety of ways such as Melee Fighter, Ranger, Mage. Economy plays a factor in this game, you are desperate for coin. You can specialize to be self-sufficient making you less effective in combat, with the perk of not having to depending on price gouging merchants anymore such as hunting for your own food, repairing your own armor, patching up your own wounds. But its all internal decisions the game will let you play however you want, if you'd like to grind for more gold so you can always be as strong as possible for the next encounter that's also viable as well.
This game is really hardcore/difficult but I also think that's what gives weight to your decisions, keeps the turn-based gameplay fun, and makes victory all the more satisfying. It has a ironman mode where your save deletes when you die. I like that the game has a lot of depth, but also has really good tooltips so it's easy to have situational awareness so you always feel like you're making informed decisions.
