Black/Matrix +

About

Black/Matrix + is a tactical role-playing game set in a twisted world where demons rule and angels are oppressed. You take control of a rebel force fighting to overturn a society where love is a crime and kindness is punished. Combat leans into turn-based strategy requiring careful unit positioning and resource management. Character progression emphasizes balancing skills with limited upgrades. The story unfolds through a mix of dialogue and reworked cutscenes that replace earlier anime sequences with CGI. The game’s stark moral inversion and rigid class hierarchy stand out as central themes. Players navigate a world where social structures are built on systemic cruelty, demanding strategic thinking both in battles and choices. Community reviews note its dated presentation but praise the depth of its tactical systems and narrative ambition. With roots in late 90s Japanese RPG design, it appeals to fans of methodical gameplay and dark fantasy.

Storyline

The world of Black/Matrix is fictional and fantasy-based, and in it the forces of Hell won a decisive war against the forces of Heaven. The victorious devils rewrote history and redesigned society to suit their purposes, reversing the concepts of good and evil. The descendants of the devils, known as black-wings because of the bat-like wings that grow from their backs, rule over the white-wing descendants of the angels, whom they treat as sub-human slaves. In their society love is considered the worst of crimes, and any one found guilty of love or kindness is hunted and punished.
