Wave of Darkness

About

Wave of Darkness is a single-player RPG set in the oppressive world of Narr, a land overrun by violent cults spreading corruption. You move through this dark fantasy setting at your own pace, taking on quests to dismantle the cults' influence. Combat unfolds in real time with a focus on weapon skills and spellcasting. Exploration is open but purposeful, with decisions often shaping how different regions respond to your presence. The game earns praise for its atmospheric design and nonlinear approach to storytelling. Player choices matter in how they confront the cults' spread, whether through direct conflict or subtle subversion. While some find the dialogue stiff, the world's grim tone and flexible progression keep it engaging for those into character-driven fantasy adventures. Metacritic users average it at 72, noting it as a solid but uneven entry in the genre.
