What players say
This has been a fundamental game to me, and between the best games I ever played. The concept is so damn simple but so satisfying. It has the look, the charming atmosphere and music, and even comedy. The learning curve is nice, even if it's not the best aspect of the game. Infact I think it rise out a bit too abruptly... I think it's on day 6 or 7. But it's nothing, it's just I'm not really a gamer I'm just a casual...
Awesome, tons of replay value, love trying different combinations. For sure pick this up if you are into these kinds of games.
Great game, easy to understand rules while a very in depth strategy on how to handle combat. Proper scaling and difficulty increase options as you get more familiar with the game. It take a little bit of time to know the enemy patterns but once you do its very fair
