An unusual strategy with roguelike elements, in which we take control over a female Medieval saint. In Becoming Saint we can travel 14th century Italy and we convert people to our doctrine city by city. The enemies of our faith must be defeated and we fight them in the auto battler style.
Projects from the independent Italian studio Open Lab Games are characterized by a unique approach to the genres they represent and by the topics they address. The team, which has sports games in the visual novel convention in their portfolio, such as Football Drama and Roller Drama, has developed a production that allows us to become... saints from Assisi. We're talking about the Becoming Saint strategy, enriched with roguelike and auto battler mechanics.
In Becoming Saint we watch the action from a bird's eye view.
The game transports us to medieval (specifically 14th-century) Italy. We start the gameplay with the process of creating the main female hero. The protagonist from Assisi can be largely adapted to individual preferences, by choosing her animal pet, establishing the basics of the doctrine she will spread, and also setting her personality.
Our primary goal in Becoming Saint is to explore Italy and convert the inhabitants of this land. doing this city by city. We select the next travel destinations from the game's world map, and along the way we participate in random events and take care of the needs of the people following us (like feeding them).
Over time we also make choices. Together with the decisions made at the outset, they influence how certain social groups relate to us, and in various ways determine the increase in the number of followers and the paths that open up before us.
The conversion takes place by taking part in fights on arenas covered with a grid of square fields. We put various types of units into battle (from beggars to nobility), each of which is equipped with a unique set of strengths and weaknesses, as well as skills. The key to success is to compose such an army, whose members will complement each other. Given that individual subordinates are effective in clashes with specific types of enemies, the whole thing brings to mind an elaborate variation on the game of rock, paper, scissors.
Fights are largely automated, however the game allows us to take control of our soldiers at any time. Additionally, we can support subordinates by blessing them and cursing enemies.
Regardless of how hard we try, sooner or later we will suffer a defeat that could potentially result in the death of our character (who could be beheaded, burned at the stake, or even hanged). In such a case, we have no choice but to start the whole ordeal from the beginning, facing new random challenges, as well as developing different strategies and doctrines.
