Apostle

About

Apostle unfolds in a world where humanity’s fragile peace shatters 50 years after a monster-plagued apocalypse. Play as Rei Yagami, whose life unravels when the Magna return, forcing you to navigate a mix of action RPG combat and narrative-driven exploration. The game blends survival resource management with turn-based battles, all while uncovering secrets about the past and the blood-red moon that triggered the crisis. What sets it apart is its moody atmosphere and the tension between rebuilding society and fighting existential threats. The story weaves personal stakes with broader consequences, though its 2019 release saw mixed reactions for uneven pacing. Still, its post-apocalyptic setting and branching choices offer a decent 20-hour stretch for fans of story-rich indie RPGs. PC only.

Storyline

One night in the year 2015, the moon turned the color of blood. Monsters began to appear, slaughtering and devouring people. These monsters became known as "Magna". In a final act of desperation to destroy the Magna threat, humans turned to their last resort... nuclear weapons. This day became humanity's "Day of Judgement". 50 years pass with no sign of the Magna, and the fear that once gripped the world has faded into a distant memory. However, that veil of peace is about to end...
