About Bestiario

Description

In a post-pandemic Spain, from the Puerta del Sol in Madrid to the mountains of Asturias, we will fight with our diverse group of hunters to save the world from a new threat, a supernatural one this time around.
The fearsome ojáncano from the mythology of Cantabria, a huge cyclops with ten fingers on each hand; the cocollona, from Catalan mythology, a nun who, when she sins, turns into a crocodile with butterfly wings; or the goddess Mari from Basque mythology, whom you shall never turn your back to, are just a few of the many creatures that inhabit the vast world of Bestiario, together with fairies, witches, reimagined versions of vampires and werewolves, and many more.    

We will face these creatures in a challenging turn-based combat system, where we’ll have to use our strategic skills and the environment to our advantage, from dungeons to forests and combats in the city. Each decision will have an impact on the end result of the encounter. Mechanics like combos and interruptions, among others, will give these encounters great dynamism. However, not everything will be fighting.

Through a calendar and a social sim system, we will have total freedom to spend our day however we want, which will give us time to do side quests, play minigames and form bonds with other characters.
Bestiario will offer players a rich new world to explore, the one of Spanish mythology and folklore, combining naturally the best from the classic JRPGs with the touch of national games: the ÑRPG.
