What players say

Recommended on sale for fans of tactics, board games, active time battles, and party-based adventures. Fun but would benefit from more figures/units, better customization, and more developed story/characters. The ATB system is passable but clunkier than a turn-based option would have been. I would also recommend looking into Expeditions Conquistador, Blackguards, Gloomhaven, Fell Seal, Warbands Bushido, and Figure...

A nice small little game. It's not super deep. Can't see enemy abilities, ground conditions, status effects, etc. Can't tell ur guys directly who to attack. The gear is awkward that you can't see what each guy has equipped. But it's simple and a fun little stratagey RPG!

I played for 90 minutes and needed to replay same map over and over to get experience. Got bored after 4 times. This day and age, you generate maps easily on well designed games. Not acceptable and refunded. too bad since combat was fun.
