Overview

Demi-god Holy Avatar and his Guild of Maidens are taking a trip to his recently bought holiday island “Holy Island“. Here he can finally relax after countless battles, but this doesn't suit him at all, for he constantly thirsts for new adventures. After a rather rushed arrival on the beach the group make a gruesome discovery: numerous dead maidens, horribly mutilated, are scattered all over the path to the inside of the island. The Guild of Maidens is afraid that something horrible happened in the maidens’ camp on the island. Holy Avatar – secretly happy as an adventure lies ahead – is going to explore with a part of his group what exactly happened. Not knowing what kind of scale this disaster has already taken and what hazards are waiting for him and his companions inside the dense woods and caves… The brand new spin-off of the successful Grotesque Tactics – universe lets you control several party members with different tactics and skills at the same time.

Reception

As a spin-off Holy Avatar vs... stays true to the formula presented by Grotesque Tactics: That is, it is a light-hearted and funny Strategy RPG.

The major difference from the main series however, is the fact that the player this time controls "his semidevine humble...

If Duke Nukem got his own RPG set in a fantasy world in the mid 00's, this would be it. More stereotyping of demographics than Tumblr, less pop culture references than Magicka, and sexual innuendo on-par with a Louis C.K. skit. Still had fun, for what it's worth. Cheap voice actors probably would have helped immensely. Only bother if you desperately...

I'm a bit on the fence about recommending this in general... but as far as continuing the series goes, this game is fit for fans of the first 2 games.

This is a spoilerfree review of a complete playthrough of the german version of the game, played with keyboard and mouse. Man I would love reccomending this game. I loved the first two grotesque tactics games. As soon as I saw this I immediatly bought it. The main problem with the game is, that there is less everything. Basically this game is, what...

The best thing about this game is that it is short - you can finish it in 4-7 hours, everything else is bad or in best case mediocre. Graphics are ok for the isometric RPG from 2014. The 3D models are decent, but there is something wrong with the contrast, the shadows are too strong and black so you can't see the details. Also, it is very hard to see...
