Koudelka is a turned based RPG which was released by Sacnoth in 2000 for the PS1. I have sort of a love/hate relationship with it. I love the story and characters. But the gameplay has it's flaws if you ask me. It was called a "survival horror" style RPG and it uses a grid based system for combat. It does have a very deep story to it,which I think is very interesting. The lead character is Koudelka Iasant, a young gypsy girl with psychic abilities. Takes place in Aberyswyth,Wales in 1898 at a monastery called Nemeton. Her two cohorts are a young adventurer named Edward Plunkett,who she meets upon her arrival at the monastery. And a Bishop named James O'Flaherty,who was sent there by the Vatican to retrieve a certain item. I won't get too deep into the story,as it is complex. Some might say it's supernatural,but not the least bit scary. No gore in this game,just crazy RPG battles with an assortment of vile creatures and people. Weapons will break on you,which is rather annoying at times. As they are hard to come by. Items can be hard to find period,unless you are standing right on top of them.
