The young hero Karon is washed to a faraway land when the dam in his hometown is overrun by an enormous herd of large beasts, which have been roused by an unknown force. He is rescued by a woman named Reah, who joins him on his quest to get back home and find out who pulled the strings behind the catastrophy. Walpurgis Night is a console style role-playing game with a hybrid real-time/turn-based combat system. Every action in combat, including walking on the hex grid map, consumes stamina, which slowly recharges over time. The two playable characters learn offensive and defensive moves by collecting spheres with various attributes, which can then be assigned to the characters and stringed together to form combos.
