So, there’s this game called Keeper’s Toll. It’s from eastasiasoft and Stingbot Games, and let me tell ya, it’s a roguelite survivor set in this dark fantasy world. Think creepy forests and sketchy castles, like, why would anyone hang out here, right? Anyway, let’s dive in.
First, you choose a character. There’s six of ’em. Each one has its own vibe—like, there’s a Shadow Monk who’s all about vengeance and melee attacks. Then there’s a Pyromancer… this guy’s got fire embedded in his skin. Crazy, right? You’ve also got a Necromancer, who is basically your go-to undead guy. Can you imagine commanding a bunch of skeletons? Wild.
Oh, right, the places. Four areas: the Linden Forest, Usvit Depths, Usvit Castle, and the End of Time. Honestly, each place sounds like a place I wouldn’t want to get stuck in. The forest is ruined, depths are slimey… and the End of Time just sounds like a bad dream. Wait, was I talking about the characters? Or the places? Anyway…
The controls? Super simple. You kinda just move around, your character auto-attacks, and there’s this whole thing about leveling up and getting boosts like Chilling Blow. No clue why they called it that, but it sounds cool, I guess. You gather coins too, probably from the people… or things you defeat—who knows? You can trade these coins for sweet gear. Merchants just pop up when you least expect them. Like, surprise shopping spree in a death dungeon.
Every run, you gather experience points. Spend them on talents. It’s like, do you level up the Shadow Monk’s sneakiness, or make the Pyromancer more fiery? Tough call. And trophy hunters, heads up! There’s a Platinum trophy. So, yeah, if you’re like me and need your digital bling, this one’s got it.
Anyway, Keeper’s Toll is both weirdly captivating and unnerving. If you’re into dark worlds and surviving against the odds with a mismatched crew, give it a whirl on PS4 or PS5. Two versions come in one purchase, because who doesn’t love a deal, right?
Okay, I think I covered everything? Maybe? Hope so. Grab the game if it sounds like your thing. Or don’t. I’m not your boss.
