Battle Chasers: Nightwar 2017

Is it still worth playing?

The cast of the Battle Chasers comics is marooned on an island and has to stop an evil sorceress, in this 2017 turn based role-playing game from Airship Syndicate. It is based on the comics by Joe Madureira. You build a party of three from six heroes, such as the brooding swordsman Garrison and the war golem Calibretto, each with their own abilities, perks and dungeon skills. You explore the overworld in a linear way and fight enemies at set moments, until you enter a dungeon seen from an isometric view. Dungeons are randomly generated and full of traps, puzzles, secrets and loot, with a difficulty you set before entering. In battle, non magical attacks build up overcharge that you can use in place of mana. A deep crafting system lets you overload ingredients. Overcharge built from plain attacks still saves the mana for when it counts.
