The game has a map that you can find at various points, but a la the aforementioned Death’s Door, there is no mini-map or map viewing option at all. Navigating through the world map is rather straightforward and as long as you are somewhat experienced with the basics of RPGs and don’t mind figuring things out a bit, finding your way to the next plot point is hardly a challenge. There’s actually a fair amount of villain variety throughout the expedition as each major biome has its own set of creatures. Turn-Based battles of the era are the way of life here, as Josiah clashes with gnarly looking imps and Minotaurs in one area to then faces off against more incredible beast type adversaries such as bastions and ogres later in the game. All of the nicely drawn 2D sprites appear on the screen and their walking paths are equally as predictable. Although there are small sections of the story where you can deviate from the set path, they merely serve as sources of temptation and not a true separate story beat.īattle it Out on Screen Paladin Dream/Sean Garmer/HitherYonGames & Meridian4Īnother wonderful positive about Paladin Dream is no random encounters. Instead, focusing on the love from a fair few in helping guide his journey. It uses religious overtones well in making its point that Josiah achieved similar success to his almost godly forefather without excessive fanfare. It strives to tell its tale within its roughly six-hour runtime and actually appreciates you for reaching the end as well. It doesn’t have long drawn-out cutscenes or a nonsensical story. What I appreciated most about Paladin Dream is its brevity. Leading him down a path similar to that of his dignified predecessor, where he’s suddenly thrust into becoming the world’s savior. However, it won’t take long for Josiah to find out that the once banished great evil has returned. The once orphan now Paladin soon decides to venture beyond the abbey’s walls in search of enlightenment. This vision’s commonality is so well known that even the townsfolk ask Josiah about it as he walks the halls of the abbey where he was raised. Josiah continuously has the same dream every night of wandering this cave, finding a Gray Knight, and then losing quickly in battle.
