What players say
Great, small game with deep, tactical puzzle-like combat. Set in the Aether universe, which is quite rich in lore, story is really nothing special. While the focus is on the characters, the things said or that happens outside the story are more than the one happening in the game. I may seems too critical, but to be fair I enjoyed it, and all character feel pretty unique. Especially loved how Fleet doesn't stay...

I went into this not knowing much about it, and it completely blew me away. The narrative, the characters, the writing... all of them really stood out and elevated what was already a fun and fresh RPG. I played on Hard and got the deathless achievement, so for what it's worth I think it's really well-balanced, too.. I'm a big fan of MtG drafting, and the dice drafting is obviously a lot smaller-scale than that, but...
A keeper for sure, especially if you love the "Aether verse" lore, and that slammin' soundtrack, especially the battle songs!
