    32 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is praised for its addictive and strategic mechanics, drawing comparisons to titles like Fire Emblem while offering unique features such as "sync" and "boost" systems that enhance tactical depth. Players appreciate the freedom of exploration and the engaging combat, despite some minor glitches and a few design choices that may not impact the story as expected. Overall, the game delivers a compelling experience with well-designed mechanics that encourage thoughtful planning and strategy.

    • “It's got so many cool mechanics all in the same game that I've never seen done quite like this before, and never knew I wanted so badly.”
    • “The freedom and independence you have from the start, as well as the reassuring presence of your large starting ally faction, makes the gameplay loop remarkably compelling.”
    • “This game doesn't have 1000 different surface-level mechanics where you gather goodie-points just to spend them on some superficial bonuses, but what mechanics it does offer are well-designed, meaning that they're deep and rewarding and fair, and they interact meaningfully with each other.”
    • “Have to mention though, that the decisions I made at the start of the game regarding gameplay, believing they would have an impact on the story or outcome, didn't have any impact at all, leaving me feeling like I wasted my time in the end.”
    • “Gameplay itself is... well... that's a big can of worms to say the least.”
    • “Due to the way the fighting mechanics work, usually your units will either have a 100% chance to hit, but with 0 damage, or a 0% chance to hit, but with massive damage.”
  • story
    23 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story features a unique and original narrative with rich lore, but many players find it predictable and somewhat lacking in depth, especially towards the end. While the cutscenes and music are praised, the impact of player choices on the storyline is minimal, leading to a sense of wasted potential. Overall, the narrative is described as barebones, with a focus on tactical gameplay rather than character-driven storytelling.

    • “The story was different and original, music was great and the cutscene art was magnificent.”
    • “Even after finishing the story, I still feel very attached to it due to its depth and lore.”
    • “The story is pretty tight, with several choices allowing you to change your faction allegiance.”
    • “I wish there were a bit more story, more events, and more unit types that make things different.”
    • “The story is pretty barebones; it does have some twists and some cool ideas, but don't expect much from it.”
    • “The story itself was somewhat predictable to the point where it's frustrating.”
  • graphics
    19 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with some players finding the simplistic and bright art style unappealing, while others appreciate its charm and the depth of gameplay it supports. Many users noted a desire for more contrast and variety in the visuals, particularly in the sprites and map design, while praising the quality of the cutscenes. Overall, the graphics may not be the game's strongest aspect, but they do not detract significantly from the overall experience.

    • “If I could ask for one thing, it would be sprites (and other visuals) with the darker art direction of the amazing cutscenes.”
    • “Would pay full price again in a heartbeat - love the art style and really everything about the mechanics built in!”
    • “And the artwork for the game, especially in the cutscenes, is *chef's kiss*.”
    • “Ai doomstacks make the game unplayable, never mind the poor graphics and janky controls.”
    • “The graphics are too bright and the palette doesn't have enough contrast or composition.”
    • “But the graphics in this game are all anime-style smiling boys and girls, which I find quite cringy, personally.”
  • music
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some praising its classic Japanese game music style and sound design, while others find it average or inconsistent, particularly during battles. A few users expressed a desire for a jukebox feature to enjoy the soundtrack, but overall, the music does not stand out enough to warrant purchasing. While some tracks are enjoyable, others feel repetitive or lackluster, leading to a varied experience for players.

    • “The music is fantastic, with that fast-paced sweetness of classic Japanese game music.”
    • “Another feature would be a jukebox to listen to the wonderful soundtrack as well!”
    • “The story was different and original, music was great and the cutscene art was magnificent.”
    • “The soundtrack is... average.”
    • “Some music pieces feel like I've heard them before.”
    • “Similarly, the music and sound effects aren't the best; about five or six hours in, I muted the game and started streaming other content.”
  • replayability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's replayability is mixed; while it offers numerous strategies and enjoyable tactical encounters that can provide dozens of hours of gameplay, the poor AI significantly detracts from the overall experience, making it less engaging for repeated playthroughs.

    • “Tl;dr, solid turn-based RPG with plenty of tactics and strategies that will bring dozens of hours of enjoyment, and plenty of replayability.”
    • “The AI is exceptionally bad at tactics, which, given that this is a tactics game, seriously impacts replay value.”
    • “You can just play the decisive encounters, no grind, no whack-a-mole, many different strategies, a lot of replayability for just a few bucks.”
  • stability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game is praised for its engaging combat mechanics and diverse world, though some users report encountering a few glitches that affect stability.

    • “The game crashes frequently, making it nearly impossible to enjoy the experience.”
    • “I encountered numerous bugs that disrupted my gameplay, which was really disappointing.”
    • “The stability issues are frustrating; I lost progress multiple times due to unexpected crashes.”
  • grinding
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game somewhat tedious, particularly in terms of inventory management, yet many are engaged enough to complete multiple campaigns, indicating a level of enjoyment despite the grind.

  • emotional
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players highlight the emotional impact of losing long-term characters due to unexpected challenges, emphasizing the deep connection formed with these characters and the resulting sense of loss when they are unexpectedly taken away.

    • “Every decision feels weighty, and the emotional stakes are raised with each twist and turn in the story.”
