Suffering

Suffering is a 2D, turn-based game in which you face seven sinners imprisoned in the Room of Suffering to uncover a truth hidden in the shadows. You choose weapon, ability and item commands for each battle, then fight powerful bosses using a system where enemies act first by default.

Story and reincarnations

The game’s multiple-reincarnation system changes the traditional New Game+ structure. In each new reincarnation, you face a new group of stronger bosses rather than the same enemies, bringing new powerful bosses to encounter.

Game modes

The playable modes are Story, Death Mode, Challenge Mode, Nightmare mode and Custom Mode.

Turn-based combat

Enemies take their turn before you unless you use a preemptive action command to act first. You can match primary and secondary weapons with abilities and items to build a combination for each boss battle. Attacking at the right moment can break an enemy’s defence; damage that reaches the Overkill threshold triggers Killing Time, a mode that can turn the battle around.

Sinsouls

Defeating each Sinner grants that Sinner’s most powerful Sin­soul, whose power you can use.
