The character development in the game is enhanced by inventive design and unique combat mechanics, which keep encounters engaging and focused.

The modern amenities, like the lack of truly random encounters (fights are started by sprites with vision cones) and end-of-combat party healing, keep the game focused on the parts that really count.”

Certain tunes take on a more experimental electronic vibe, and characters like Solace feature a kit built around smart rifle use that I really like.
