Dark Bestiary

Dark Bestiary is a turn-based tactical RPG centered on battles with monsters rather than a deep story. You take the role of an adventurer and fight through a 21-mission campaign that introduces the game’s basics.

Character progression is classless: combine skills, talents, and items to shape a character around your preferred approach. Abilities can be grouped into sets that grant passive bonuses, and companions can support you in combat.

Beyond the campaign, Patrol and Nightmare offer additional combat modes. Treasure-map expeditions involve traps, while crafting lets you use recipes and ingredients to make weapons, armor, and potions, socket gems into equipment, and eat meals for bonuses.

Players describe Dark Bestiary as a compact tactical RPG with loot and character-building at its core. Reviews appreciate finding gear and shaping different builds or classes, while one player also enjoys how AI-controlled summons and faster game speed streamline turn-based battles. One review reports units sometimes stacking and obstructing movement.
