✓ Fits the third-person Action RPGs cluster, with deep RPG systems, action RPG combat and adventure storytelling
≠ Its own twist: horror tension, punishing difficulty and fantasy world, while skipping fighting mechanics
An RPG built on a real dilemma: every citizen you drain gives large experience but permanently degrades their district, and the game is genuinely playable without killing anyone. The London setting and dialogue are strong. Combat is stiff and repetitive, and pacifist runs leave you badly underlevelled for bosses the game does not scale down.
On reception: its Steam reviews are mostly positive, against overwhelmingly positive for Batman: Arkham Asylum.
Released 8 years after Batman: Arkham Asylum.
