Ys IX: Monstrum Nox

Action RPG where protagonist Adol gets cursed during imprisonment in the city of Balduq, transforming him into a Monstrum—a being with supernatural abilities. You'll use these powers to prevent the Grimwald Nox, a destructive force, from devouring the city. Combat is real-time with dodge mechanics and special attacks tied to your Monstrum form. Exploration involves using curse-granted abilities to traverse Balduq's architecture in ways normal humans can't. The setup puts you in an urban environment under threat, fighting both to understand your transformation and stop an encroaching danger. Fans of fast-paced combat systems and supernatural power progression will find the core loop here.
