Famitsu review scores Viractal and Qliphah in Providence’s Shadow

Famitsu published review scores for Viractal and Qliphah in Providence’s Shadow in its review roundup for the week of October 4, 2026.

Four editors reviewed each game. Famitsu’s final score uses a 40-point scale.

Viractal blends board game and roguelike

Reviewers described Viractal as a fantasy RPG with procedurally generated stages, deck building and control of multiple characters. Each adventure lasts 25 turns and ends with a battle against a giant boss.

The reviews also highlighted local and online multiplayer, co-op play and strong replay value. However, sessions can run long, events may feel repetitive, and the Will resource limits access to more powerful cards.

Qliphah focuses on counterattacks

Qliphah in Providence’s Shadow uses real-time command battles built around counters, time-slowing functions and varied skill builds. Its interface assigns the two characters’ controls to the left and right sides of the controller.

Editors praised the flashy battles, visual presentation and slow-motion replay feature for players less familiar with action games. Criticism focused on the more monotonous exploration, chaotic encounters with multiple enemies and the difficult balance between action-oriented combat and an interface that encourages repeated attack inputs.
