Our take on Dream of Corpse Lady
Its layered progression comes with added management: followers, Dark Scripts, artifacts, blessings, and unit summons all affect battle decisions. The combination offers room for experimentation, but it also makes the experience less focused than a strategy game built around a single upgrade system.
What is Dream of Corpse Lady?
Play as the awakened Corpse Lady in a deck-building strategy game.
Command an army of puppets, gather wandering souls as resources, and recruit 28 followers with individual abilities and ultimate talents. The game includes 5 main story campaigns and 10 challenge levels, with difficulty increasing through the story. Battles allow different approaches, including summoning new units or strengthening existing followers through blessings and expanded skill branches. Each level gained by the Corpse Lady grants Dark Scripts that increase power while adding curses.
More than 100 artifacts provide combat effects, including interactions tied to particular characters, and surplus loot can be smelted for cash. Fallen puppets can be revived during battle. The game also includes full voice acting, victory CGs, and 6 character skins.
