What players say
Oddly cozy (even if some of the levels had me frustrated) strategy RPG. Honestly genuinely fun and rewarding, I've had more than a few moments where I tried some crazy strategies and it worked. One level went on for WAY too long but overall worth a play if you like strategy RPG's.
Instant TL:DR; -- Good game. NOT a puzzle game (as suggested in some of the negative reviews), but tactics are required. You simply lack the brute force to brute force your way through no matter how high your level is. Damage output per hit is low compared to general enemy HP. Support and debuff abilities are critical. Manipulating map position to your advantage is vital. Prioritize targets. Think XCom, but fantasy...
All the worst mechanics in one game. -Random level up powers, which are permanent -Mission timers -Infinite spawning enemies -No way to check ranged attack sightlines -Locked into the three initial characters
