Dark Bestiary is a turn-based tactic game with RPG elements. The very core of the game consists of continuous and exciting battles with monsters rather than a deep story. So, you will have to explore a rich combat system and discover your character’s possibilities.

A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34906570/8ccfccf64fd322aedaec4cbef3bd99340adb44ce.png Almost a year has passed since the launch of Early Access, and today the game has everything that I originally wanted, but the development does not stop, I will continue to support the game, improving it and adding a new content. As some of you know, I had to find a job, so there have been no updates over the past half year. But I still do not lose hope of returning to the development of my games full-time. I wish to thank to all players who participated in the early access, thanks for your feedback and support, you guys
