What's the story like on this game? it's not a dungeon type grind fest is it?

There is some story, but mostly you're left guessing. Not really sure if could be called a grindfest either, as it's focused on real time combat. There are NPCs, and they have their own backgrounds and motivations - although they're not always clear. How you play and what factions you choose/is tricked into influence the ending.

Think Resident Evil 1/Castlevania SotN/Bushido Blade in a Fighting Fantasy setting.

Guess I may go pick it up. Something different in the collection than the usual.

I should point out that the game likes to be mysterious about how it works, so unless you go to the wikis, you'll only know and understand what you can figure out for yourself. Oh, and it's quite hard, but completely possible as long as you learn its mechanics properly. I'm a pretty poor gamer and I can still play Demon's Souls.
