Labyrinth of Refrain: Coven of Dusk

Mechanics

In Labyrinth of Refrain: Coven of Dusk we observe the action from first-person perspective. The main element of the game is the exploration of the labyrinth, in which we are interfered by both numerous traps and enemies; what's more, from time to time we face the need to solve environmental puzzles. While we traverse the dungeons in real-time (in a "jumping" way, characteristic of the genre, able to turn by 90 degrees), combat takes place in turn-based mode.

The book we control is not defenseless, as it can use an army of puppet soldiers. The warriors we send to battle represent six classes with different weapons and special combat abilities. During the battles, juggling with skills of individual warriors is as important as chooseing the right tactics and formation.

It is worth ing that the more treasures and artifacts we manage to accumulate during the subsequent escapades, the greater will be the threats awaiting us. Between the dungeon expeditions, we can visit the city, which is our base for operations. In Refrain, we create new soldiers and provide them with better armaments, as well as undertake missions commissioned by the inhabitants, and we can count on the help of the witch herself.

Technical aspects

Labyrinth of Refrain: Coven of Dusk adopts a manga style; when the combat starts, two-dimensional sprites of adversaries are superimposed on the three-dimensional environment.
