Certainly one of the most visually-attractive games I ran into at PAX East, Vambrace: Cold Soul made strong impressions with its looks, style, and obvious difficulty. With some Darkest Dungeon-style challenging turn-based combat that will take a fair amount of trial and error to come to terms with, this won’t be an adventure for people lacking in grit and determination. Your reward for sticking with it is a reasonably interesting story with a few meaningful choices to be made and combat that can be engaging once you get past it being simply frustrating. I would recommend looking for a guide to help you make sense of what’s going on in combat though since the in-game help and instruction aren’t quite as useful as they probably should be for less hardy souls.
