![]() The game itself is a dungeon crawler RPG, very similar to games like Etrian Odyssey or Demo Gaze, and the story revolves the witch Dronya, who possesses a book called Tractatus de Monstrum (which is somewhat latin for Treaty of Monsters) which allows her to control puppet soldiers to do her bidding. Hmm I have mixed feelings about this game: I really enjoyed the story and it had some dark tones but also funny ones, and the combat is easy to get in but somewhat hard to master, especially when you have a lot of choices with the covens and such. Bonus: This game has an incredible post-game dungeon that was pretty tough and a lot of fun. The main character, Dronya, is spiteful, manipulative, mean-spirited, and hilarious. ![]() I'd rather just maintain 4-6 characters I can focus on.īy far my favorite thing about this game though was the story. These are all characters that you need to create and maintain with gear. You can eventually field a full brigade of 15 active combatants, and 25ish support. There is also something kind of goofy and over the top to how many character you need to create in LoR. There is an option to increase difficulty to a nightmare mode though, so lack of challenge might not actually be a factor. I felt LoR became faceroll easy towards the last 1/3 of the game. I love EO's finely tuned challenge, where I have to use the best builds and equipment just to barely be on par with the bosses and elite enemies. There's much more variety, but I feel something is lost as well. Buyer beware, but I rather like them they make life interesting.Īs a whole, the gameplay is more and less than EO. Like very difficult to hit and 1 shot members of your party strong. These enemies can have a variety of modifiers that make them far stronger than normal enemies. Worst of all are randomly appearing elite enemies that can appear in any random battle, similar to the elites in Diablo 3. There are purple FOE enemies and some nasty bosses that can ruin your day. Although on the other side, the game is pretty difficult. The combination of these 2 abilities allows you to become quite OP in the game. ![]() They also have an alchemy system that allows you to combine equipment into higher level items, and this allows you to create some really overpowered gear. LoR has a job class system that allows you to keep good skills and increase your stats, similar to FF14 or the Wizardry series, and you can make some overpowered builds here. There are many more options to advance your characters other than grinding out levels or farming for rare high end equipment. That's mostly because of how open ended LoR is. For better or worse this game doesn't have the brutal difficulty and finely tuned game balance of EO. There are many differences to the EO series as well though. This is a very good blobber who's closest analog would be the Etrian Odyssey games, because of the cute anime artstyle, concept of worlds that resemble strata, elite purple enemies that are like Etrian's FOEs, the homebase/hub that you return to after excursions, and many other things.
