After the release of two blockbuster titles, Elves & Forest and Elves & Fireflies, Moon Studio sought to subvert the concept of ARPGs, and Bad Faith was born. Although it uses the familiar isometric perspective, it's still very different from the fast-paced lawn-mowing ARPGs like Diablo. In terms of gameplay experience, it's more like the 2.5D version of Dark Souls.

The game is set in the year 841, when King Harol dies and the plague is about to rage again. The player takes on the role of a main character named "Cerin" who travels to the "Sacred Island" to fight the plague, only to be shipwrecked and drifted to shore alone (without any weapons or armor). Players will need to fight solo to scavenge loot while exploring the island and uncovering the secrets of the plague.

And the gameplay is the same as most action RPGs: take on all kinds of main quests, hit buckets and pick fruits in the map, dry up all the hostile creatures you encounter along the way, and try to get from nothing to food and clothing, but the experience in the Starter Village is a little too friendly, and players will soon be beaten by all kinds of disgusting enemies, and then the journey of suffering begins.

What can you learn from these hardships? Make the most of the skills you've learned in Souls-like games.

In order to survive each battle, you'll need to time your attacks, parries, dodges, and head-to-head with your enemies. This not only tests the player's reaction speed and operation skills, but also reflects the underlying combat logic of the Souls-like game, which emphasizes the discipline of attack and the control of endurance resources.

Overall, Bad Faith is a difficult ARPG with excellent art style, with an excellent action system and a refreshing sense of attack, but the current level design and monster intensity are prohibitive, and it is more suitable for medium to heavy souls-type players to challenge themselves. It is not suitable for light players at the moment.
