Tactical strategy RPGs can often be daunting to hop into, especially if you are new to the genre. Fortunately, The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk: The Amulet of Chaos offers up a satisfying tutorial that blends into the narrative. While making sure to go through the tutorial will help alleviate any overwhelming feelings about this game, there are still a host of beginner tips to keep in mind when first playing this massive game.

8 A Focus On "Comedy" And Crude Humor

The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk: The Amulet of Chaos is very reminiscent of something like Monty Python and the Holy Grail, albeit, with less charm and overall "laugh-out-loud" moments. This is very much a game that attempts to input humorous moments around every turn. While some of it lands, more than likely it will turn some players off.

One thing to keep in mind when first starting this game is that there is a healthy dose of crude humor. From cursing to innuendo to other inappropriate language, this most certainly won't be one of those strategy RPGs that will be for many people. It's often lighthearted and pokes fun at itself, however, just know that going into this game will bring with it plenty of cringe.

7 Four Difficulty Modes With Advanced Options

Easily one of the best parts of The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk is that it's a very accessible game. It's clear the devs wanted to allow everyone to try and enjoy this game, no matter their familiarity level with the genre. When starting out a new game, you can choose from four different difficulty options, with each one having a set of advanced options to help tailor the game to your liking.

The four difficulty modes are Grippling Tale (easy), Tavern Song (normal), Epic Gest (hard), and Gzor's Nightmare (brutal). Each one of these difficulty modes breaks down what separates it from the other challenge levels. The advanced options give you the ability to turn off the tutorial, change the narrator, and even give the option to assign attribute points automatically.

6 Understanding Action Points

Action points are a pretty standard feature to most strategy RPGs. In the case of The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk, characters have two action points to utilize each turn. One point can be used for movement with the other being used for performing an action such as attacking, providing overwatch, moving outside of the defined zone, and the like.

This game has a fantastic level of flexibility when it comes to using each of the diverse cast of characters. You might want to place your wizard near a defensive position to be able to safely hurl fireballs at the enemy or you might want to take your ranger up close and personal to dole out big damage. Get used to planning how you use your action points each turn.

5 Weaknesses And Status Effects

Adding to the depth of this game, another gameplay mechanic to consider during each battle is that of weaknesses and status effects. These dynamic effects will affect your own playable characters as well as the enemies. Weaknesses are essentially vulnerabilities such as an enemy taking more damage from magic-based attacks due to having less magic-based defensive capabilities. Weaknesses also come into play if you or an enemy take enough damage overall.

Similarly, status effects apply to such things as poison, slow movement, curses, and the like. Status effects generally come about through specific attacks or abilities, as well as hazards and traps in the environment. Learning to manage weaknesses and status effects will give you the edge in battle.

4 There Isn't A Specific Movement Grid

Many strategy RPGs feature a specific movement grid, complete with tiles and a checkers-like layout to the play area. The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk eschews this in favor of a more approachable, freeform movement system. While the grid is still technically there behind the scenes, you, as the player, are able to freely move around the play area depending on your character's attributes.

One thing to keep in mind with movement is that when you do move to a new location, you also need to choose the direction you face. While this may sound simple, it means you will either be set up to attack more efficiently or defend yourself properly. Certain actions can only be taken from a specific direction.

3 Focus On Healing And Resting

Something important to note when first starting out in this game is that you don't automatically heal after each battle. Each strategy RPG handles healing differently and in the case of The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk, health doesn't automatically regenerate between battles.

Fortunately, you have plenty of ways to heal. Right after a battle, you can press a button to heal up your entire party if you have the right concoctions or spells. You can also use bandages or first aid kits if you happen to have them in your inventory. Likewise, resting at specific points like taverns and inns can heal your party.

2 The Usefulness Of Overwatch

Overwatch is a super common aspect to pretty much every single tactical strategy RPG. For the uninitiated, overwatch is a tactical ability that gives your playable character the option to watch over a playable area, and, if an enemy enters the line of sight, then they are typically attacked or stopped in some form or fashion.

Overwatch in The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk is a bit more complex with it only activating with characters that have a ranged weapon. That character must not be in the range of being attacked via melee moves. There are plentiful defensive locations to set yourself up at so it's a good idea to at least have one or two party members on overwatch at any given time.

1 Refer To The Tips Encyclopedia When Necessary
