Storyline rich folklore based card game

This game is interesting, with good storyline and deep slavic folklore background. Card fight mechanics is similar with other card games like Slay the Spyre, but has its unique features. There are two types and two classes of cards - black (mostly used for attack) and white (mostly used for defence), words (main action cards) and keys (additional action cards). You can build your deck and develop your own fight strategy, also you can have 3 different saved presets of deck and switch between them. Also game allows you to skip the fight if you loose more than 2 times, so it prevent you from really frustraiting dead end situations. Game has different endings which rely on your choices. Also your choices can change fate of other characters in the end. Graphics is stylish low-poligon animation. I liked it, but for somebody it will not be pleasant, I guess. The only thing I dislike in this game is its duration. It is too long for such game type, in my opinion. Game creates artificial walls to prevent you from progressing fast. To achieve goal X, you must first do A, B, C, and every A, B, C mission has a lot of sidequest fights. So with high speed of fight animation I finished the game only after almost 35 hours. Controls of character movement also not ideal, but they are not so bad either.

Excellent card based combat RPG

A gothic adventure set in the early industrial Russian country side. Immerse yourself in the culture witches and sin. Narrative: Your beloved is dead. To bring him back you must unseal the Black Book to grant your wish. To do so you must find the proper chorts (demons) with the power to break the various seals. Travel the countryside seaking those that can help. There's a 'twist' in the story, but it's sort out of nowhere and not really interesting. Mechanics: I don't usually like card based combat, but BB manages to make it interesting. You get two types of pages; black to mainly attack and white to mainly defend/heal. You chain the pages together to deal tons of damage, debuff/buff or heal. The trick is BB manages to make the cards mostly all good. I seldom found a card I wasn't able to make work. Despite this I still found the game challenging. The other part of the game is how you choose to help or curse the various villagers you encounter. Cursing increases your sins, but gets you robust rewards. Helping can get you some rewards, but not nearly as many. Sins can have an effect later on. Visuals: The graphics are a combination of basic 3d modelling a cell shading, to an extent. This basic art style works well for the chorts as it gives them a more alien appearance, but it results in the humans, and the protag, looking a little dopey. The spell visual effects are also lack luster and don't really convey 'power'. The environments benefit in the same way as the chorts. The simplistic style makes the whole work a bit more mysterious and ephemeral. Presentation: Good music, but somewhat forgettable (except the collected songs). Although you can have 3 sets of pages for your combat you can't choose which set to use when battle begins. If you die, you can change later, but it would have been nice to pick before the battle. It would also be nice to have a 'test' battle as an option to play around with page sets. As it stands you can only test in production.

Отличная игра, от которой ничего не ждал

Прошел игру 2 раза подряд. В полнейшнем восторге. Очень мощно. Очень красиво. Очень стильно. В этой игре содержания и смысла гораздо больше, чем в большинстве игр от крупных студий последних лет. Я именно про ценность содержания, а не про количество букв. - "Примитивная" графика - это для недалеких примитивная. - Озвучка великолепна. Тот момент, когда веришь в происходящее именно благодаря звуковому сопровождению, голосам персонажей. - Отдельный респект за катсцены с пейзажами с динамичным освещением(поле перед могилкой). - Бережное отношение к славянской и вцелом русской культуре(как к собирательному образу верований разных народов земли русской). P.S.: Жаль, правда, что не обошлись без концепта собирания силы в моментах с лешаком и где-то еще. Отдает западным фэнтези. Но то ладно) То вкусовщина.

Энциклопедия народных поверий

В игре ужасная графика, но свет настолько хорошо поставлен и атмосфера вечерней, и ночной деревни настолько густая, что на графику не обращаешь внимания через пары минут после начала игры (если не смотреть на модельки персонажей, они смешные). Игра представляет собой больше интерактивную и увлекательную энциклопедию по народным поверьям, суевериям, славянским мифам (не знаю насколько пермяки считаются славянами только). В игре шикарнейшая музыка и очень жалко, что нет сборки с саундтреками и артбуком. Игра напомнила мне первого ведьмака, только без экшена и в наших землях.
