Mask of Dead II: Shadow Of Pelagius

About

Mask of Dead II: Shadow Of Pelagius is a turn-based strategy RPG set in a fractured afterlife. You play as Riom Ruri, a rookie reaper tasked with investigating threats to Purgatory. Combat blends pre-battle positioning with real-time action windows, letting you pause to plan or react dynamically to enemy moves. The story threads together personal duty and cosmic stakes as you uncover how past errors threaten the realm's stability. The game stands out for its hybrid combat approach, which adds tactical depth without slowing pacing. Character progression emphasizes skill trees tied to reaper abilities, offering flexibility in build choices. Early access feedback from Krystal Games' forums highlights the world’s mythological layers and the morally gray reaper hierarchy. With a February 2025 release, it positions itself as a niche pick for fans of calculated gameplay over fast-paced action.
