✓ If you enjoyed Vladik Brutal, expect deep RPG systems, action RPG combat and adventure storytelling
≠ Its own twist: dark, oppressive atmosphere, punishing difficulty and open world exploration, while skipping shooter
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.
Where it drifts furthest from Vladik Brutal: progression and visuals.
On reception: its Steam reviews are mostly positive, against very positive for Vladik Brutal.
