About this game

In the "Forbidden Trial", a Roguelike role-playing action game, you will play a girl Einherjar in the Spirit Hall of Norse mythology, and find the truth of the gods at dusk through fighting and exploration.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Wide range of weapons, blessings, and upgrade combinations.

Anime-inspired character designs and colorful visual presentation.

Cons

Repeated runs offer limited enemy, encounter, and environment variety.
Upgrade and unlock progression becomes grindy beyond early runs.
Awkward English localization makes story and interfaces harder to follow.
Basic narrative and character writing are underdeveloped.

Pros & Cons are AI-assisted summaries, not our own playthrough reviews. Sources and how we make recommendations.
