65%Searching for Final Fantasy Tactics - Natural Doctrine review
Natural Doctrine is a broken attempt at revitalizing the tactical RPG genre. At first glance, it appears to have all the markings of a classically inspired and intelligently designed strategy game. But sadly, despite delivering its own rare bursts of satisfaction, it remains frustratingly bogged down by artificially challenging gameplay, a confusing and overtly complex user interface and a painfully slow pacing that will try the patience of even the most Zen-like of gamers. If you’re looking for the next Final Fantasy Tactics, I’m sorry, but you’re going to have to keep looking elsewhere.

I know that in the current climate of the gaming industry, everyone is glamouring for hardcore games that don’t hold their hand, but I don’t think Natural Doctrine is what you’re looking for. The game isn't challenging so much as it is just inconsistent because the enemy rules are seemingly made up as it goes along. It just isn't enjoyable to play, and that's a really big failure in a game like this.
