One of the most interesting hack-and-slash RPGs that you may not have heard of is Undecember, a dark fantasy game on PC that features a wide variety of playstyle customization options, a choice of several different types of content to grind and play, and an impressive presentation consisting of stunning visuals, high-quality textures, and slick animations.

Here's a complete overview of everything Undecember has to offer, including details on its approach to building, its progression systems, the types of activities you can take part in while playing, and more.

Play the way you want

As players begin their fight to save the fantasy world of Traum from the evil god Serpens in Undecember, one thing they’ll notice is that unlike many other hack-and-slash ARPGs, Undecember doesn’t have set classes that they must follow as they create and customize their character. Players can swap out their stats, skills, and equipment at any time without worrying about class or gear restrictions, offering a lot of freedom in their build. If you want to cast magic with axes, for example, Undecember will let you do that.

The core of your character’s strengths and weaknesses are dictated by three main stats: Strength, Dexterity, and Intelligence. As players earn trait points by killing enemies, they can also unlock special constellations that allow them to further fine-tune their character’s capabilities. Additionally, regardless of which stats and constellations you choose to use in battle, you can also equip various Skill and Link Runes to your character to provide them with powerful abilities to use in battle. Skill Runes grant access to the default version of an ability, while Link Runes are used to alter the effects of those abilities and customize them. Notably, it is possible to attach Link Runes to multiple Skill Runes at once, giving all abilities the effects of the Link Rune.

Builds can also be customized and improved using equipment you find while fighting enemy forces. Once you’ve found an item, you can improve the bonuses it provides by enchanting it. This is done by dismantling pieces of equipment that you aren’t using, as this process provides the materials needed to successfully enchant items.

Variety of content awaits

Another thing players can look forward to in Undecember is the variety of experiences it offers. Whether you’re looking for a fun campaign to play through or hardcore, farmable endgame activities, there’s something for you.

Acts, which represent the game's main storyline and campaign experience, serve as an introduction to the game and also offer players a less challenging and more laid-back experience. After completing all of the Acts, players will also have the option to play through the Chaos Dungeons. These levels are considerably more difficult and intense than the Act campaigns, but offer significantly better rewards that you can earn as well.

Finally, there are the fearsome Boss Raids, which are the final form of Undecember’s endgame content. These high-stakes missions can be tackled with up to eight players and require a great deal of teamwork and coordination, offering elite-level rewards to those who can overcome the challenge.

Regardless of the type of activity you choose to play, you can enhance your gaming experience by joining a guild. Guilds in Undecember can have up to 50 members, and being in one unlocks exclusive benefits such as Guild Buffs.

Beautiful presentation

Undecember is also worth checking out if you’re into quality graphics. The world of Traum is dark and foreboding, but also colorful and varied, making it stand out from other extremely dark fantasy worlds. The game’s textures also look excellent, and the visual effects of attacks and abilities are packed with vibrant detail. The animations are also beautiful, as they’re incredibly smooth and fast, making them a perfect fit for the fast-paced, action-packed nature of the game.

There’s also plenty of monster variety, ensuring you’ll never get bored fighting the same creatures over and over again as you progress through your journey. Enemy attacks are also just as impressive and expressive as your own, making enemy encounters feel grand, tense, and exciting.
