What players say
It's damn good. Mechanically, I think this might be my favorite tactics rpg. It's smart in how it puts its pieces together, it has lots of room for customization, it honestly kinda feels like a modern gatcha but without the stat bloat and lotteries. Each character has a niche, but is a piece of a larger team. The controls do take a moment to acclimate to. They're nowhere near as clunky as Valdis Story's hadouken...
A pretty good challenge as a tactical game for veteran players and most important it is enjoyable, this also applied to beginners, although there are some frustrating aspect like 100% evasion doesn't mean guaranteed miss the attack from the enemy. Go play this game if you want to itch the urge of playing new tactical game.
if you like turn based combat strategy games, you will probably really like this game! i looove Fae Tactics. I think that it is sooo good for an indie game of its type. there are many mechanics that the game gradually introduces and incorporates into battles, so it doesn't feel overwhelming. i am someone who tends to get overwhelmed easily, and i felt pretty comfortable and confident with my knowledge and strategy...
