About Bestiario
Bestiario is a turn-based RPG from Wiggin Industries that blends Spanish folklore with tactical combat. Released on December 31 2026 it landed on PC Xbox PS5 Switch and Mac with a cheeky twist on the genre. The game tasks you with battling mythical creatures from regions like Extremadura and Andalucía each with unique abilities. Think of it as a dungeon crawler where you fight a giant bull that charges or a ghostly knight that haunts. The ÑRPG tag isn’t just a joke, localization quirks and regional legends keep things fresh. Ideal for players who want deep strategy without grindy repetition.
Gameplay
Combat revolves around positioning and elemental counters. Each battle starts with a 3x3 grid where you place your party and enemies. Turns let you move attack or use items while exploiting terrain for cover. Bosses often have shifting phases like a dragon gaining fire immunity after a certain round. Outside fights you explore nonlinear zones via a top-down map collecting relics and side quests. Progression mixes stat boosts with weapon upgrades that unlock new abilities. Sessions typically last 45 minutes to an hour with frequent checkpoints. Controls are snappy but menus lag slightly when managing large inventories.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate it 92% with 63% completing the main story. Metacritic averages 89. Most play 24 hours on average 12% over 50. Community moods skew nostalgic (48%) and curious (31%). Reviews praise the beast design but note repetitive early-game quests. One user wrote “The strategic depth hides behind charming nonsense.” Another griped “Late game pacing drags if you miss a key stat boost.” Completion rates spike after patch 1.2 which fixed AI pathing issues. Achievements (47 total) reward exploration but none are mandatory.
PlayPile's Take
Bestiario is a $39.99 bet that pays off for tactical RPG fans. Its 24-hour average playtime feels earned not rushed. While not perfect, slow midgame and clunky menus, it offers more personality than most AAA titles. If you’ve enjoyed tactical games like Elex or Disgaea and want folklore-driven combat this is a solid pick. Skip if you hate grinding or prefer open worlds. The 47 achievements add 10 extra hours for collectors but aren’t essential. Worth your time if you’re in the mood for clever monster fights and regional myths.
