DarkBlood: Reverse

DarkBlood: Reverse is an RPG with simple controls. You explore dungeons and gather information to reclaim the Holy Grail of Souls, which governs life and death.

Story

A man with the blood of a demon king is immortal through the power of his dark blood. To end the demon king’s bloodline, the king of time, Batos, imprisons him in a cave inhabited by demons. The man escapes using his immortality and wisdom, then defeats Batos, who had sold his soul to the devil.

Seeking to change his immortal fate, the man journeys to meet the king of the underworld, ruler of life and death. The king grants his wish, and the man is freed from immortality. Old and sick, he prepares to die peacefully, but wakes again in a strange room, where a mirror shows him a face he does not recognize.

Meet the warriors

The game has nearly 20 warriors, each with personal goals, and some have emotional scars. You can switch characters by talking with them, raising their intimacy level and completing their assigned quests. Some events are available only with particular characters, so changing protagonists lets you experience different lives.

Explore and rewind

Dungeon exploration involves choosing whether to go forward, go back or take a fork. The layout is generated automatically and changes each time. As time passes, the town’s atmosphere changes and different NPCs appear. Special abilities let you rewind time, allowing you to try again after a failed negotiation.

Develop your characters

The cast includes warriors, mages and martial artist types. You level up and allocate stats to shape characters, such as an agile two-fisted knight or an armor-clad magic warrior. Weapons determine attack types, and you can enhance approximately 800 kinds of weapons and armor. Monsters drop materials that you can collect and use to smelt weapons and items.
