SKALD: Against the Black Priory

The biggest turn off for a lot of people is going to be the art style and Lovecraftian theme, if you're fine with those you'll probably enjoy the game. It does a lot to capture the feeling of classic CRPGs with some modern streamlining to smooth the rough edges. The combat is satisfying, if a bit basic. The story is compelling, if a bit predictable. And shout out to the extremely customizable difficulty settings.

A blast from the past with modern mechanics and leveling. If you enjoyed any RPG from the late 80's or 90's, then you'll love this game. Surprizingly detailed and well thought out. On sale, it was a steal! If only there was a wider variety of combat music (a minor nitpick)

Excellent atmosphere and gorgeous presentation in a little package. Combat is simple but once you get the hang of the systems you can go on quite a rampage. Despite being turn-based the solo dev managed to make it feel very punchy and engaging, you can actually feel the impact of caving in some monster's skull. So much credit for this game goes to the dungeonsynth music and meaty sound effects. It's a short experience, but a compelling one that I can see myself replaying in a couple years. The overall dreadful atmosphere is fantastic, and I'd love to see more done with this universe in a sequel. This is definitely a dev to watch in the future
