Greetings Again! Today I review the fourth episode in the Rain Slick Precipice of Darkness Series and this one has been a long time past due for a review. So, how does the conclusion of this four part game series conclude? Read on dear listener, read on… Gotta Catch’em All: The game series continues to evolve, using a bit more of a ‘modern’ version of the 16bit era but the most dramatic change is the music, which to be honest…is kind of awesome. It evoked some of the greatness I remember from scores in old school JRPGs. The mechanics themselves stay the same but evolved as well. No longer do you play with your party but monsters that you catch and put in your monster orb reminiscent of a series I’m sure we are all familiar with. You spend about 70% of the game with two divided parties which both created some interesting interactions but also a slight frustration when it came to gear and leveling. Funny quip here: The game has some minor difficulty spikes and a much tighter control over money than the previous one but the game doesn’t force more than 4 members in any battle so you can easily focus on your favorites. One slight issue was that it requires you to select a trainer which is a fancy accessory that improves stats for the monster as it levels. This is a neat idea but could cause problems if the monster is leveled ‘incorrectly’. Though I do not felt this impacted my game it is possible. The game does do a great job at auto-selecting trainers for new monsters and I found this more of a ‘potential’ issue than a real one. One thing I will say about this game is that the ending is worth it, in an interesting and charming way. The end of the world: One small annoyance I had with the game was the two party systems they had for most of the game. It left me feeling like I was starting over when switching parties because they were not as high level. This caused a bit of a lapse in judgment that comes naturally with RPG leveling. Many times I’d have a monster die because I didn’t gauge their health or the enemy’s power correctly, mainly due to this. Overall this was a minor annoyance however. The only other real problem I have with the game is that it still lacks an option to lock in your previous command. Yes I’m going to cast Rat Fever…like I do every turn. So, do you buy this? Well, if you have played the others sure. If you haven’t, then I’d suggest you do that first. But what of this game stand alone? I actually think this is the best of the series story wise and the strongest mechanically but would caution buying this one without the others, mainly because of story reasons. If you don’t care…then go right ahead. Enjoy!

This game has a lot of novelty. The monsters you acquire are all quirky and fun, and the combat system is different enough from standard fare that it feels great for the duration of the game. The plot is a bit weaker this time around, trying a bit too hard to be over-the-top. The Soundtrack is solid.
It's certainly not a perfect game - especially when held up to the standards of parts 1 and 2 - but it's worth the asking price. I don't like the combat system, and I don't like how empty the world feels, but it feels like Zeboyd was able to let loose in a way they couldn't with episode 3.
had loads of fun playing it, a true oldschool snes like rpg
This was a good final to this series i would recomend the earlier ones along with this it really was a fun experiance.
Hey everyone and this is my review about the game! This is a 2D RPG game. [h1]Interface/Menu/Settings[/h1] There is fullscreen and windowed mode available. You can play with the controller or keyboard. You are able to change the controls. You are able to change the volume level of Sound and Music. There is a difficulty level settings available. [h1]About the game.[/h1] If you are familiar with "Saves the world" and "breath of dead" OR any other games of these developers. Then you would know what to expect. Comedy, RPG. Story based. Great soundtrack in combats and turnbased actions! You and Mr.blood are falling together down the hellhole. You and him will be working together to beat the Creatures and will make your way to stop this madness. Each new turn during combat phase the enemies will slowly become stronger and stronger, Also a MP will be given to a character's new turn. All allies will regain health after a battle and you will earn some experience too. You will eventually level up and gain new abilities and ofcourse get stronger. There is a story available. Good combat soundtrack. Normal RPG Graphics. Turned based combat. Level up System. Funny text. Weird but funny story. [h1]Other things.[/h1] None. ------------------- I Give this game a 7/10
A fun and entertaining way to end the series. Pros: GREAT music! Fun writing, easy to play, good locations and scene variety. Infrequent battles. Beautiful outdoor graphics. Cons: Battles can last a long time without any real difficulty. Pretty linear until the very end. Expensive items and upgrades early on in the game.
Like its predecessor, this game is one of the RPGs I enjoyed the most playing (and playing a second and third time!) Absurd, entertaining, challenging, good story, well balanced, has a lot of secrets and offbeat humor... These are (among others!) the qualities this game has. If you like turn based RPGs, you can't be disappointed.
Pretty much just like Ep. 3. Funny writing, retro gameplay and graphics. I must admit, by the end of this one I was kind of just waiting for it to be over. Not a bad story, though. There are some unique and creative enemies in this one. I recommend it if you've made it through all 3 of the previous episodes.
