Codex's Heretic
Posting here to see if more people try the game, it's really, really interesting. It's like a Wuxia Fallout 1/2, with A TON of choice & consequence, build options and optional events.
I restared it twice to see the different options, each playthrough went completely different:
- First was a spear fighter that regens HP each round, became the apprentice to a hobo and then got arrested.
- Second was a super-fast solo fist-fighter that got betrayed by a bandit in the woods.
- This is a swordsman that recruited several companions (including a pet roster), helped an alcoholic blacksmith and was admitted into a legendary swordmaster sect.
Lots of cool details, like how the bandit in the woods betrayed me when I was alone, but the following playthrough I had companions so he ran away. The game also is open-world and EXTREMELY open to sequence breaking, your Lv 10 hero can wander into battles against Lv 50 enemies, and there's crazy items like "since you're part of Sect X, people respect as if you're a high level hero".
Really the only issue is that for some reason they screwed up the riddles... I understand that you cannot properly translate a riddle about completing Chinese poems into English, but then replace it for something functional, don't just leave it impossible a weird word salad...
