New dark fantasy tactical RPG Prelude Dark Pain is scratching my Mewgenics itch in all the right ways

A hands-on preview of Prelude: Dark Pain shows a dark fantasy tactical RPG built around campaign exploration and grid-based battles.

Combat centers on a four-character squad, with flanks, high ground, status effects, and position-driven synergies shaping each fight.

The preview highlights distinct character abilities and a stylish, challenging combat system that already feels deep and tactical.

Still pre-early-access, the game stands out as a promising indie strategy RPG with a strong visual identity and layered mechanics.
