Limbus Company

A strategy RPG with a difficult edge

Limbus Company is a turn-based strategy RPG from Project Moon, set in a bleak dystopian world. You lead a team through story-driven battles, choosing skills, matching attacks and managing character roles rather than simply selecting targets and waiting for the next round. It suits players who want a game with substantial systems and a strong narrative focus.

Combat built around clashes

The main tactical decision is whether your attacks can overcome an opponent’s. Skills meet head-on in clashes, with values, affinities and chance affecting the result. Winning these exchanges can cancel incoming damage, while poor matchups quickly make a fight harder. Commands are arranged through linked icons, keeping the controls manageable on a phone without reducing the number of decisions per turn.

Build a team for the situation

Each character can use different Identities, changing their role and the skills they bring into battle. E.G.O abilities add another layer of planning, giving you powerful options to save for the right moment. Team selection matters because attacks interact with affinities and weaknesses, so a reliable group is not always the best group for every encounter.

• Story-heavy campaign set in Project Moon’s dark fictional universe
• Turn-based battles focused on clashes, affinities and skill values
• Character variants and E.G.O abilities for team customisation
• Fully voiced Korean story scenes

What the numbers suggest

The game holds a 4.75/5 rating from 61,521 reviews and has passed 1,000,000 installs. Those figures point to a sizeable and engaged audience, but the systems still ask for attention: beginners may need time to understand clashes, skill weights and affinity effects. If you prefer light, automatic strategy, this may feel demanding. If you enjoy learning a combat system and applying it to a long-form story, Limbus Company offers plenty to work through.
