Hey folks, I know game requests can get pretty annoying - but please help a brother out.
I’m in a very specific mood, and I want to play an action RPG in a dark fantasy setting - the issue is, people got bored of all fantasy being medieval, so now games always come up with a twist “dark fantasy… But in the 40’s! But it’s cyberpunk! But it’s actually under the ocean!” and while I respect these subgenres… Just give me a knight in armour and a gritty story, pleeeeease.
By action RPG, I don’t even mean Diablo clone. It can be one, but also a 2D open world RPG, or a 3D old-school Skyrim-like, or a MMORPG style, or whatever. I just need one.
No one’s mentioned it here, and I just got it last night because it looked pretty damn cool, and it is actually: Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon.
It’s kinda like a cheap Elder Scrolls game mixed with a tiny bit of Souls-Like (you have a stamina bar and a dodge-dash move), but it works. It’s in early access, with the first chapter of the story out now. The devs say it’s about 15-20 hours worth of content so far, and I’ve only put in a few myself.
I haven’t really gotten into the main story myself, but it’s based on Arthurian Legend/the Tainted Grail tabletop series. It’s kinda like a gothic Oblivion mixed with the Witcher.
Tbh I mostly checked it out because it seemed to have a pretty sweet magic system, which lately I’ve been really in the mood for a game with a good magic system.
