Quote:
While imprisoned in Balduq, Adol is cursed and becomes a Monstrum. With his newfound powers, he must stop the Grimwald Nox from consuming the city.
Feared Protectors: Play as any of the six notorious Monstrum, each with their own unique Gifts that grant abilities such as scaling sheer walls or detecting hidden objects to protect the city from shadowy creatures.

The World Within the Walls: Explore the massive city, accept quests to aid the townsfolk, and enter the Grimwald Nox to vanquish the threats to Balduq.

Strength of the Night: Familiar mechanics such as Flash Dodge and Flash Guard allow you to outmaneuver your foes, while new additions such as Gifts and Boost Mode further augment your ability to fight.
Story
"What is real is defined by what is not.
Who one is defined by who one isn't."
To move forward, one must accept these truths.
"Yes, in this prison—this cradle—
my dreams and reality became one."


Renowned adventurer Adol “the Red” Christin and his companion Dogi arrive at Balduq, a city annexed by the Romun Empire, only for Adol to be detained before setting foot inside. While imprisoned, he meets a mysterious woman named Aprilis who turns him into a Monstrum, a being with supernatural Gifts and the power to exorcise monsters. Now, Adol must ally with his fellow Monstrum to fend off the fearsome threats emerging from a shadowy dimension called the Grimwald Nox, as well as unravel the mysteries of the Monstrum curse, and the truth behind the unrest within Balduq.

This looks like a PS2 game mixed with Assassin's Creed. I'll pass anyway, I don't like these japanese style games with the screen turning into a feast of flashy blasting effects.

The game is awesome, but the greedy prices are not. A lot of tinkering and fucked up prices it looks like.

What's with those DLC's tho? Elixir sets? Attachments Bundle? The latter looks like some cosmetics but do they also sell consumables in DLC? Surprised

Attachments and costumes are just cosmetics. Elixer set is just a couple of health potions. There's also a potion to level you up once. No weapons, armor, or accessories. The previous games save data accessories are better than all the DLC. There are some saves available to download on rin, and instructions can be found on steam discussions pinned topic.

Depends on what you like i guess. I enjoyed the sense of adventure in 8 a lot more, but this one is solid too in its own way. Basically a big city with missions spanning both within it and outside
