Product Manuals

Q: Does the digital download bought here in BB, works in Puerto Rico?

A: I would imagine it should since Puerto Rico is part of the US and all codes should work for the country matched to your e-shop. Also, this game is AWESOME. Hope you like it!

Game doesn't hold hands
I love this game. I hate this game. I've uninstalled it multiple times in a rage, but I keep coming back. It is pretty heavy on the rng, so it's possible to lose characters even without taking big risks. But if you manage risk carefully and are serene enough to view your characters as a resource that can be expended, it is incredibly satisfying when you succeed. I bought it from Best Buy because switch doesn't have a gifting option, kinda dumb. Still, it wasn't any more expensive here, and it's easy to redeem the code.

Hardcore sidescrolling rpg
I have this game a 5 because I absolutely love it! It's a sidescrolling turn based rpg but it's pretty difficult. You have a party of 4 which consists of many different classes as you brave randomly generated dungeons for gold and treasure. It has a beautiful hand drawn art style and kind of dark and grotesque vibe to it. Your characters can get inflicted with various status effects and even suffer from certain conditions, both good and bad. You can also get stressed out and even have a heart attack from too much stress so you have to manage it. Your characters can even die and won't come back so you have to be careful. The way it is layed out is you go into a dungeon and go through a series of rooms and hallways, which is like a big square grid. You encounter enemies and find treasure as you walk from room to room. When you clear the dungeon you back to town which is a hub and you can upgrade armor, weapons and skills. You can even heal stress, disease and afflictions. You can also upgrade the town. After that it's back into the dungeon again. Some dungeons have bosses at the end and some are longer or shorter then others but you can review it before you go in. The difficulty is petty brutal so I would only recommend for the most hardcore people but it's quite enjoyable to got git gud and become a force to be reckoned with. Would highly recommend but it's not for the faint of heart.

Dark, unforgiving, yet unique gameplay
This game is brutal! But somehow makes that brutality as part of the game. This game is not for everyone to be honest, but if you are willing to take the plunge to learn the game, it is excellent. If you like dark, unique horror, this game also has some excellent settings. It also uses turn based mechanics, which will appease many fans of turn based RPGs. Just a heads up, this game has permanent death mechanics for your party members! But this is part of the gameplay, so do not let it discourage you. It is about managing your party members, and letting go of disasters and moving on. Definitely not a "relaxing" game for sure lol. But I do recommend if you want something challenging and difference.
