Esperia Uprising of the Scarlet Witch v1.3.4

Esperia: Uprising of the Scarlet Witch is a tactical, story-driven RPG that throws you into a dark, Arthurian-tinged war tale. You play Diana Pendragon, second princess of Mediana, betrayed and branded a witch after a devastating night in which her own army turns on her and her father, King Uther, falls under a curse. With only a loyal knight at her side, Diana must gather allies, uncover conspiracies, and fight to clear her name - all while learning unsettling truths about herself and the world that will reshape family and kingdom.
What stands out
- A strong narrative hook: the mix of royal intrigue, a military empire, a dark cult and dragons gives the story a wide, original scope while the Pendragon name ties it to Arthurian myth in rewarding ways.
- Deep tactical systems: more than 20 playable characters and over 20 classes provide varied combat roles, movement types and skills. Expect distinct builds and meaningful class choices.
- Layered progression and character focus: many characters have exclusive quests and personal development paths; in-game choices affect relationships and can unlock special story elements, adding replay value.
- High production touches: well-drawn character art and event illustrations help sell the emotional beats and stakes of the campaign.
Difficulty and tone
This is a game that embraces challenge - often painfully so. Permadeath is enabled by default (though you can disable it in Easy Mode), the RNG can feel brutal, and the "real" hard mode is designed to punish mistakes. If you’re attached to your squad, expect tense, sometimes heartbreaking moments when a single unlucky hit and critical can cost you a favorite. That said, the stakes amplify the emotional payoff for victories and successful saves.
Length and replayability
The campaign is roughly 25 hours, but the combination of permadeath, branching choices, character quests and many classes encourages multiple playthroughs to see different outcomes and team compositions.
Who it’s for
Esperia will appeal to players who enjoy thoughtful tactical RPGs with a strong narrative and willingness to live with - or overcome - unfair-seeming RNG and high difficulty. If you prefer safe, forgiving experiences, start on Easy mode to avoid permadeath. If you like character-driven stories, deep class systems, and Arthurian flavor, this one is likely to satisfy.
Overall
Esperia: Uprising of the Scarlet Witch blends a dramatic revenge-and-discovery plot with robust tactical gameplay and character-focused content. It can be brutally hard and occasionally unfair, but for players who love high stakes, meaningful choices, and strong art and writing, it delivers a memorable experience. The game can be downloaded.
