Note: If you love turn based tactical strategy, this is the game for you. If you want a deep story and deep characters, this game is not for you. If you need a game to vibe to and enjoy without the stress of it being in real time or online, and you are working, and have a busy life, I highly recommend this game. I started to play this game on Xbox, I got very far and absolutely enjoyed this game, the characters abilities, bosses, dungeons and loot. I DID not play this game for the story, in fact I hyper skipped all dialogue, because honestly, there is no deep story to this game. Whats good: Fighting dynamics, abilities, Character ability trees as you leve up they unlock. One thing for certain, Taunt and shield will save you more than not, in fact, its how I won most my fights, however, it is not a save all; you will need to have strategy and be mindful of turn order. Also, yes, the enemies are not "Diverse" in that you will see repeat enemies even when you progress, however this is limited. I loved the fishing aspect of this game, absolutely loved it lol. Top down traveling was a nice dynamic. I enjoyed that each character has their own abilities when entering certain areas and location. Healing, speed, poison etc. Which are very helpful when preparing for fights and navigating dungeons. Once again, no deep lore, however, super fun game if you are simply in it for the turn based combat, strategy, abilities, upgrades, dungeons and bosses. What could be better: I do wish they had a story, it builds the immersion. While a story begins to develop, it will erode over time and you will forget one even existed. I hardly even noticed the story. I was more immersed in combat, abilities and the turn based tactics than anything else. This is not a game for a story, it is a game to chill, have fun, do some dungeons, fight bosses, destroy enemies and creatures and just vibe. I would highly recommend this game. I know the reviews are mixed, and many people who have the time to immerse themselves in a story should find a game that will give them that. But, I work allot, have kids and I am very busy, so when I get a chance to play games that do not require it to be PVP, or PVE, online or where I cannot pause the game, I tend to avoid them unless I have special me time, which is rare. Another thing to Consider: Turn based games like this are important and valuable for people who cannot play real time strategy or real time games.

that's Joe Madureira's game all over the place. it reminds me of games I miss a lot: Disciples 2 (its combat system), Darksiders 2 (everything else) and somehow Bastion (probably for its mood). really great game, I hope there'll be a second one someday

This game is crazy good. Story is bare bones but combat is engaging, builds are widely varied and very fun, lots of varying enemies and bosses are very difficult while also being exciting. This is one of my favorite turn based games ever

March 2025

This game is probably the SLOWEST dungeon crawler I’ve ever played. And I played a lot of them. The artstyle is exceptional from the character design to the world, everyone and his grandma say this in the reviews, we get it, but this is, first and foremost, a videogame. The fact that the devs did not include some basic features of every dungeon crawler since the Famicom, like skip animation, auto-actions or fast moving or… at least running instead of walking, is dreadful. I mean I am not asking for the moon, right? You move SO slow in the map and inside the dungeons, it takes too much time for something basic as going back to town or teleport between floors. Tie this with a very bad placement of teleporters in the overworld and in the dungeons and you’ll have to do so many slow unskippable encounters even against enemies way lower your level. This is also that kind of dungeon crawling which makes you repeat the dungeons at higher difficulties for better lootboxes, yes, lootboxes, or for the chance to drop better equipment. Combine this with the excruciating slowness of everything it’s not the best experience of the genre. At the current time I haven’t finished the game because the slowness has become dreadful so I can’t speak about plot. I just know the Battle Chasers franchise comes from a comic. The review is positive because this is a game where the devs did an honest good job. The slowness part is really hard but not critical (this time at least).

Jan. 2025

This game kicks ass. I can't believe it sat in my library unattended for so long. The art style is awesome, right down to the badass loading screens. It has a similar badass art style like the first Darksiders game, combined with a WoWish aesthetic. The gameplay is fun and the combat is engaging. The abilities are really well thought out so far. Wholly enjoying some turn-based gameplay for once. A definite must have for any library.
