Our take on Apostasy
The premise gives equal weight to temple conflict and a cast of playable characters, while the concrete structure is a compact campaign of 14 regular stages and four boss levels. The stated 10–20-hour length places the experience closer to a contained adventure than an expansive RPG.
What is Apostasy?
Apostasy is an action RPG set in the Shadow Temple, which has been taken over by Umbra and masked creatures.
Players can choose among five female characters from different Elemental Temples, each with a distinct combat style, attributes, and set of 15–18 attacks. Combat includes combos, timed inputs, and mana-powered special abilities. Dialogue trees let characters respond to NPCs in friendly, hostile, or neutral ways. Artifacts provide stat buffs, while the campaign contains 14 regular levels and four boss stages. The vendor estimates 10–20 hours of gameplay and mentions replay value. The story follows the effort to defeat Umbra and reclaim the Shadow Temple.
