“The story and characters are really compelling.”
“Eden's Last Sunrise is a modern take on the Final Fantasy Tactics class-based SRPG systems with a marvelous story and engaging cast.”
“The story is very compelling and the characters are great.”
“I haven't finished a playthrough yet, so I can only talk about the story in a limited fashion, but thus far I can say the characters are decently well-done and the premise is pretty interesting, but the amount of actual main plot is a little thinly distributed at points.”
“The second round was a disaster of an experience, but I was really curious about the plot of the 5th route.”
“This can be grating for those who want the full story but don't want to replay the same game 5 times over, especially when the start of the paths are mostly the same depending on the route you're on until a mid-way breaking point, excluding the neutral route.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many praising its tactical elements reminiscent of classic titles like Final Fantasy Tactics, while others criticize it for being simplistic and lacking depth, particularly in character differentiation. Players appreciate the engaging gameplay loop that combines combat, story choices, and mission management, but some express a desire for more variety in classes and mechanics. Overall, while the tactical gameplay can be enjoyable, it is often overshadowed by flaws and limitations that detract from the overall experience.
“This game does have flaws, but I think the story, gameplay, and soundtrack overall lead to an enjoyable experience.”
“Surprisingly deep in both gameplay and story, easy to pick up and play in bite-sized chunks while still holding up to hours-long gaming sessions.”
“The gameplay loop is fun and it reminds me of titles like Arbiters Mark and Final Fantasy Tactics, with a smidge of X-Com due to the cover mechanic. The class system is fun to play around with, and I like the way you acquire new classes.”
“Fairly uninspired and simplistic gameplay aside, there's no reason for this to eat 11GB of storage space.”
“The tactical gameplay, which is most of the gameplay aside from a simple strategic layer, just isn't interesting.”
“Characters lack gameplay depth. If you were to set all your characters to the same class, they would effectively just play the same, as the characters have no gameplay depth.”
