Edmund is entrapped in a most terrible Web. He must punch and kick his way through all sorts of terrors in this turn-based RPG. An emotional and surreal roller-coaster. Edmund will do anything to see her again. One last time.
RPG Gamers summaryA Ghostly Rose is a SNES inspired turn-based RPG that is sure to impress fans of the genre. The game features a unique story that focuses heavily on character development as well as fast-paced RPG battles. The player takes on the role of Edmund, a man trapped in a surreal and gloomy world. Edmund must fight his way through a variety of dungeons and crush the bones of his enemies in order to discover the truth about his situation.
One of the most innovative aspects of the gameplay is the focus on Martial Arts. Edmund must use this skill to injure the foe’s body parts and shatter them mentally. However, the enemy is also capable of injuring Edmund’s body parts, so caution must always be taken.
In addition, the game’s user-friendly level design is a refreshing change from the usual random encounters found in RPGs. Completing the room of enemies means they stay gone, providing a sense of accomplishment and progress.
The game’s pixel art is all original and the soundtrack is hauntingly beautiful with an FM Synth inspired score. With a playtime of around 8 hours, A Ghostly Rose strikes the perfect balance between being too long and too short. Whether you are a fan of turn-based RPGs or simply enjoy a well-crafted story, A Ghostly Rose is well worth your time.
