Most combat scenarios are simple to begin with, but as you progress, monsters, and their tactics get increasingly complex, forcing you to alter your playstyle on the fly. A Shieldbearer tank that can hold a monster's attention, and a Blademaster, who can deal truly monstrous amounts of melee damage up close. Without spoiling the fourth, you have a ranged Soulslinger, with dual-wield revolvers. Units are split into three classes (with a fourth one later on) that can take up typical RPG-style roles.

Indeed, you cannot revert to an earlier save or try again. The presentation of the game, its combat, and its enemies all lend further weight to the game's central mysteries and keep you engaged as you wrangle the game's difficult combat mechanics.
The story will have you scratching your head for a good portion of the game, but the mystery, great character acting, and haunting creatures will more than hold your attention as you peel away at its layers. The narrative also seems to span hundreds of years, with different eras depicted, although the events and how they interconnect play out with a nightmarish disjointedness. The game is filled with common themes revolving around a few central characters and in-game events: a disease, cultists and plague doctors, religious tyranny, and beyond, with each act serving a different central theme or event.
