Dark Delve is now out on the Xbox Live Indie Marketplace for 80 Microsoft Points and allows you to create a custom set of characters to help dissolve the centuries old curse in the Dark Delve world. The developers are citing the below as some key elements to the game:
- Involving Combat System with special Chain Break attacks
- Performance in combat is rated with increased rewards for the highest grades
- Discover numerous secret doors and overcome puzzles and traps
- Complex boss battles test player tactics
- Multiple difficulty settings and variable party size available to customize your challenge level
- Disarm Trapped treasure chests and obtain more than 100 unique items
- Each of the 3 character classes offer 3 distinct paths of advancement
- Deeds of Valor awarded for performing special tasks outside what is required (can you reach the Rat King’s lair while avoiding all combat encounters?)
- Minimal random encounters, most encounters are placed in rooms and once defeated, stay defeated
So with only a few random encounters to put up with, this might be a game for those who like the idea of a JRPG but doesn’t want to have to put up with monsters every five seconds. It’s out today, for 80MSP.
