In Succubus x Saint, you play as Liruna, a young woman who was raised by the church and trained to become a saint. However, just as her father passes away, the prestigious title is handed to one of her peers, and Liruna finds herself cast aside. Instead of celebrating her future as a saint, she’s thrust into a strange and perilous ritual, one that goes horribly wrong. The ritual releases a curse that binds her to a mischievous succubus, along with a horde of monsters long sealed away.
The once-pure Liruna now faces a life-altering journey to collect four Sealing Orbs before the succubus' curse consumes her entirely. With members of the church kidnapped and scattered across the world, it’s up to Liruna to not only save herself but also restore order to a world on the brink of chaos. Her quest will take her through dungeons, over treacherous landscapes, and into the heart of a mystery that will test her faith, resolve, and sanity.
Though the succubus seems to enjoy causing trouble, she isn’t entirely without kindness. She has hidden valuable outfits and accessories within the dungeons to aid Liruna in her quest. But is this succubus friend or foe? Only time will tell if Liruna can trust her new, infernal companion.
Gameplay:
Dynamic Real-Time Exploration: Unlike traditional turn-based RPGs, Succubus x Saint introduces a real-time exploration system where players must carefully navigate through maps filled with traps, monsters, and environmental obstacles. Every choice matters as Liruna moves through dungeons, searching for the elusive Sealing Orbs.
Curse Management: As Liruna explores the world and unravels the mystery behind her curse, managing her curse meter is essential. The longer the curse remains unchecked, the more it will hinder Liruna’s progress, affecting her stamina, movement, and even the ability to interact with certain objects. Players must keep the curse under control while finding ways to cleanse it.
Item Hunting and Gear Upgrades: While exploring dungeons, players will come across hidden treasures, rare items, and outfits left behind by the succubus. These items can enhance Liruna’s stats, grant new abilities, or provide protection from the curse’s effects. Additionally, players can sell collected mana to the church to fund gear upgrades, which will aid in surviving increasingly dangerous monsters.
Game Features:
Explore Unique Locations: The game features diverse locations, each with its own distinct atmosphere and challenges. From dark forests and forgotten castles to hidden temples and eerie caves, each location offers new puzzles and monsters to defeat. Liruna’s journey will take her across vast landscapes filled with secrets waiting to be uncovered.
Strategic Item Use: With the help of the succubus, players can unlock outfits and accessories that provide special advantages. Some outfits grant additional health or stamina, while others protect against traps and cursed effects. Finding the right items at the right time is key to overcoming the increasingly dangerous world around you.
Moral Decisions and Trust: As the succubus becomes a more prominent figure in Liruna’s journey, the player will be faced with tough choices. Should Liruna trust the succubus, or is there a hidden agenda at play? The dynamic between the two characters evolves over time, and the decisions you make will shape the outcome of Liruna’s story.
Game Tips:
Keep Your Curse in Check: The succubus’ curse is a constant threat. Pay close attention to the curse meter, as allowing it to rise too high will drastically weaken Liruna’s abilities. Use special items and find ways to cleanse the curse regularly to stay on top of your progress.
Explore for Hidden Items: The succubus may not be entirely trustworthy, but her hidden gifts in the form of outfits and accessories are invaluable. Search dungeons carefully to uncover these items, as they can provide crucial advantages, especially in tougher sections of the game.
Sell Mana Wisely: Throughout your journey, you'll collect mana, which can be sold to the church for upgrades. Prioritize which gear and items you purchase based on your immediate needs—whether that’s armor to resist monsters, accessories to reduce curse damage, or healing items to keep going on your journey.
