Nunholy

Nunholy is a hack'n'slash game enriched with elements taken from the roguelike genre. The production was developed by an independent artist from South Korea, using the pseudonym Chowbie, whose portoflio includes the thematically and aesthetically related game Wedding Witch.

The plot of

Nunholy takes us to a fantastic world overrun by vampires and allows us to take on the role of nuns who come to the Hunter's Guild to deal with the bloodsuckers once and for all. The protagonists will stop at nothing to achieve their goal, even if it requires the use of demonic powers.

Gameplay

In Nunholy we watch the action in an isometric view. The production puts at our disposal nuns differentiated by their preferred weapons and fighting style. While Preiya is a vampire hunter who fights mainly with an axe, the enforcer Marie keeps her enemies at a distance using a rifle and grenades, while Sain makes good use of a pair of swords.

During the game we explore dungeons and face hordes of enemies. On the battlefield we have to be in constant motion, skillfully juggling weapons, abilities and attacks of the heroines. In addition to serial enemies attacking in hordes, from time to time we have to face powerful bosses. The vampires we hunt are classified in terms of strength. Since our actions are subject to evaluation, it is worthwhile to hunt bloodsuckers of the highest rank (when we are ready to do so, of course).

As we progress, we accumulate better and better equipment. In addition, the game allows us to absorb the powers of defeated vampires; however, we can also choose to rely solely on human abilities. On the other hand, we sell unneeded items and powers to merchants we encounter along the way, such as witches, prisoners and gravediggers.

Graphics and other issues

The graphic design of the Nunholy game is kept in a manga style. Due to the fact that the title does not shy away from erotica (which some may find iconoclastic), it is intended for adult audiences.
