“Tactical RPGs have seen something of a resurgence in recent years, but this mostly was thanks to HD re-releases of classics and a couple of well-known franchises continuing this unique take on the genre. On the flip side, there has been very little in the way of experimentation for bigger titles broaching the genre, leaving things wide open for indie developers, especially those aiming to harken back to some of the classics.
This led to Sword & Axe LLC making their first attempt at a tactical RPG with Dark Deity back in 2021 and now have spent the last four years refining their art, quite literally, to present an upgraded sequel with improved spritework, writing, and more with Dark Deity 2. The question is, does this indie game offer just enough of that old-school feeling to scratch the TRPG itch?”
