What players say
it has a time rewind mechanic that made gameplay very satisfyingly. you can basically get hit by something, then try different moves to just avoid, dodge, or interrupt the damage. that's basically what i did on normal difficulty until I unlocked the heal power after which I let myself start eating minor hits to speed up the fights. you can't save in the middle of a mission, but they only last like 15, maybe 30...
1 more review, not recommended
This game looks great in the trailer but the gameplay is very slow. There are turn-based games and then there's this, where you are constantly redoing all of your moves because your characters die in one hit. For a fantasy combat RPG kind of game we've got no gear, no looting, no exploration, no items hidden around corners, and a really poor and nearly useless journal system. I like the idea of the rewind mechanic...
