About This Game

"The only good monster is a dead one." – Ericanskinsmonsters

Story Overview

When everything is stripped away from you, what remains but vengeance?

Ericanskinsmonsters follows Erica and her band of outcasts on a perilous quest to rid the world of the monsters that plague it. But their already impossible mission is further complicated by a cunning necromancer whose dark schemes threaten to tip the balance. Can Erica and her allies survive the brutality of this world and its monsters to bring salvation, or will they fall slain, by the legendary God-beasts and undead army nipping at their heels?

Game Overview

This is a story-rich, single player turn-based RPG inspired by classic titles but with a modern, darker edge-definitely not one for the kids! Set in the realm of Strifestav, you’ll gather your party, hunt for treasure, and upgrade weapons, armor, and spells to prepare for the challenging battles ahead.

Combat is strategic and unforgiving, featuring mechanics like resistances, stuns, ailments, and even instant death. Your survival hinges on thoughtful use of consumables and smart upgrades found in towns, treasure chests, and through defeating enemies. Shops in major towns let you rest, gear up, and buy crucial buffs to prepare for your next fight.

This is not your typical lighthearted RPG—it’s a brutal tale filled with adult themes, violence, strong language, and an atmosphere of raw determination. Are you ready to embrace vengeance and fight for a dying world? Well too bad, because you will probably have better luck in causing its very destruction! This apocalyptic tale is not for the faint of heart!!

Classes

Once assembled, your four-member party will feature five distinct classes alongside a powerful summoned flesh golem. Customize your team by purchasing spells from shops to fill gaps in your strategy and tailor your gameplay to your preferred style, but be careful of the weapon requirements of specific skills and limitations of mana.

Flaymancer - Uses rogue-like attacks to deal massive dmg to target causing bleeding.(Also studied Golemancy and uses flesh to summon a formidable golem when in dire need)

Markswoman - Uses firearms and explosives to deal heavy damage and inflict status effects on enemies. Lucy has had some rough time as a child and shares no love for animals.

Knight-errant - A banished knight with a grim past who has sworn to protect you and will sacrifice himself to defend his allies. He uses heavy armor, shields, and has abilities which allow him to bolster defense/taunt/and stun

Bloodzerker - This character disregards safety and focuses on inflicting brutal damage as if his life depends on it. The Grimlock does massive damage and heals off the damage dealt. He also has very little magic and sacrifices his own life to increase his power & perform devastating blows. Due to Grimlock's nature, he is immune to light based effects including heals from his fellow members. 

Sorceror - Highly magic based and uses healing/cleansing spells to restore the party. Is also the major spell damage user of the group so choose wisely when you prioritize your damage over your healing sustainment of your team.

GOLEM SUMMON

                                                                    DRIPPY

Erica's golem summon who has incredible resilience and power. You must collect 20 skins from battle drops in order to summon him, and while he brings devastation....his time is limited. 

Quest system

A quest system is implemented to keep the players targets of revenge in mind and highlights the main quest only. There are hidden quest, secret treasures, and clues for legendary weapons and armor scattered throughout Strifestav which would greatly aid you in journey if you choose to seek them out. These hidden events are not tracked on a quest log. Due to this loose guidance it gives the game a less linear feel, but ultimately specific things must be accomplished or killed to increase progression.

Contains

This game is created with RPG MAKER MV and is compatible with Mouse/Keyboard(I also added ASDW controls), and Xbox type controller features along with Steam Deck devices. (When the user is playing with a controller, move the mouse cursor off-screen for a better gaming experience.) The game also uses many JavaScript addons by Yanfly/Terrax/TheUnproPro to include Battle Engine Core/Quest Journal/Shop Menu Core/and many others.

This purchase includes the Windows PC version of the game Ericanskinsmonsters.

This game contains a large variety of music/sound/audio tracks by Eric Black, RPG Maker MV,  Karugamo, and other artist

Artwork by Eric Black, RPG Maker MV, Tyler Warren, Hibiki Katakura, Andy Chen, Dream Circle, finalbossblues, Plueschkatze, and REFMAP

Average play time is still hard to judge with my sample size. I have seen it beat multiple times between 13-15 hours and I have seen some players take 4 hours to do what others did in 1, so that would cause it to be 30 hrs+. The game is single player with carefully placed audio/music for you to enjoy the storyline and gameplay, so not need to rush through it unless that is your thing! :)

Several maps within the game were auto-generated using the built-in RPG Maker tool and were additionally modified to meet specific design needs.(random map generation is not active/capable in game) Sprite characters to include their text facial images were created using character generator tools within RPG MAKER MV software. Additionally, the title screen/Library asset artwork were generated using AI tools and then edited to fit the game's aesthetic.
