![]() ![]() There's also some color added to the mercenaries you recruit. The writing isn't entirely top-shelf, but I found myself actually interested in the story of Vambrace in-between the relentless death and dungeon diving. The streets beyond Dalearch feel forgotten, and the zones show the former touches of life and the other adventurers who have died there. ![]() You can walk around the city itself and talk to the various residents, providing a bit of texture to the world. Each faction has a host of characters you can talk to and the overall layout of Dalearch makes it actually feel like a city that's dying a slow death. There you'll meet the various factions vying for control of Icenaire: the Guardians, the Sylvani, and the North Venture Company. You sortie out from the Dalearch, the one part of the city that's not controlled by the undead. The bracer can open holes in the cursed ice, which allows Lyric and a chosen band of adventurers to journey into the rest of the city and reclaim it from the undead. There, a band of survivors trapped in an eternal wall of ice fight against the undead army of the King of Shades. Her dad's final wish is for her to take the bracer to the lost city of Icenaire. In this case, Evelia Lyric inherits a the eponymous vambrace from her adventurous father. Vambrace: Cold Soul begins a lot like Darkest Dungeon, with the protagonist finding out about a secret past from the will of a dead relative. ![]() I dove in ready to love it, but unfortunately Vambrace mechanically misses parts of what make Darkest Dungeon work so well. Take the roguelike nature of Darkest Dungeon, add more substantial narrative and exploration aspects, and cover the entire thing in a Korean manhwa aesthetic. On paper, Vambrace: Cold Soul feels like a winner.
