BRIGANDINE ABYSS

“It feels like a simple spinoff to test some changes in mechanics and make it centered only on fighting, forgetting completely about everything else: plain stories, no banter with enemies, no interaction with your own team, no truly unique heroes, really straightforward and small map making it lack strategic depth and making the game shorter so less planning in general, no multiple monster evolutions, no multiclassing.”

“If the leader gets defeated, the monsters disappear leading to a bland 'snipe the leader' gameplay.”

“Gameplay feels extremely outdated and clunky, both mechanics and how the game functions.”

“Everything about this game was half-assed, from research into what it is supposed to be, to the graphics on upgraded units. The graphics in general are passable, but when an upgraded version looks identical except for an extra pauldron... it's half-assed.”

“The character designs are atrocious, the art style is awful, the character models are generic, the soundtrack lackluster, the heart and soul of the series completely gone and trampled upon.”

“The art looks real cheaply made. I don't want to accuse the devs of using AI to create their character models, but come on... at least give me different pictures for a character being angry, sad, happy etc. I was playing as the samurai clan and Momoko or whatever her name was had the same giggly, bubbly happy look on her face when she was peacefully laying low in my castle as when she was about to be invaded and her voice actress clearly sounded distressed. At least give her a worried artwork for that moment. This is what I mean when I say cheaply made and half-assed looking.”

“Quests are a tedious and unnecessary addition.”

“People wouldn't blame Fire Emblem for making the player actually finish a campaign instead of grinding endlessly.”

“The new resource mechanics feel like artificial gating, turning previously interesting lore-quests into tedious filler.”

“Please study the first game before creating Brigandine games. The music, unit size scaling, effects, and sounds all fall short. The gameplay loop itself is enough to sell the game, so create with passion and stop making Brigandine slops like this.”

“If I could name one caveat to the music, it seems that your faction track overrides the map background music after the first turn.”

“The soundtrack is lackluster, contributing to the feeling that the heart and soul of the series is completely gone and trampled upon.”

“The game also has some performance issues, which surprises me as SRPGs typically tend to run pretty well.”

“I imagine there's some further optimization to be had on that front.”

“So not really any replay value.”

“It feels like a cash grab. I'm a huge fan of Brigandine as a whole, they missed a great opportunity to make something special. I'll still play it because I bought it, but I don't recommend it.”

“This was a cheap cash grab and you should stay far away.”

“The character designs are atrocious, the art style is awful, the character models are generic, the soundtrack lackluster, the heart and soul of the series completely gone and trampled upon.”

“Her artwork and character designs are dated, ugly and poorly suited for games.”
