Battle Chasers: Nightwar
About
Battle Chasers: Nightwar is an RPG inspired by the classic console greats, featuring deep dungeon diving, turn-based combat presented in a classic JRPG format, and a rich story driven by exploration of the world.
Plan for survival. The desolate town of Harm's Way is your only place to prepare. Choose three of the many heroes you've unlocked, fill your travel backpack with items from your stash, make sure you've chosen the best equipment and abilities for each hero... and then strike out
Explore an overworld presented in classic form (and in real time), peppered with hidden dungeons, rare bosses and randomly appearing friends and foes, as well as a useful arsenal of Dungeon Abilites for every character
Old-school combat inspired by the console RPG greats, with a unique two-tiered mana system and turn-based initiative, featuring random buffs and debuffs on initiative slots
Action oriented, randomly-generated dungeons loaded with traps, puzzles and secrets. Use each hero's unique dungeon skills to survive
Non-linear story driven by the discovery of lore on items, landmarks and secret elements in the world. Discovering these will both provide deeper insight into the mysterious Lost Vale, and also reward lore points, which are used to upgrade the heroes' different abilities
Truly key story moments will be depicted in gorgeous, traditional 2D animation from Powerhouse Animation Studios (the studio that did the animated Darksiders cutscenes). For these, sit back and enjoy
The best-selling comic book Battle Chasers was first released in the late 90s and quickly generated a passionate cult following.

PROS:
- Visually beautiful, from the hand crafted maps to the randm generated dungeons
- Nice combat animations and special abilities
- Good soundtrack and atmospheric ambient sound
- Multiple characters to choose that increase replay value
- Lots of secret item and quests to discover
- Wide variety of enviroments ranging from frozen lands to halloween themed cemeterys
- Relaxing fishing mini-game
CONS:
- Huge stutters on worldmap on high-end hardware
- Character flickering on worldmap traveling
- Combat animations have no speed-up or skip option
- Characters not in party gain no XP
- Party management only before enetring a dungeon or at main hub inn
- Some quests are hidden in dungeons that rely on random event spawn
- Legendary weapon material gathering is reliant on random encounters
- Special vendor items are disappointing
- Cheesy and predictable story
- Main protagonist voice is cringe worthy
Bugs can be fixed and so can game leveling issues. What remains is a great game worth the asking price.
