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).

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.

Combat is the meat of the game. It feels very good thanks to very engaging mechanics, as well as excellent animations and sound design. I especially like that every single ability has at least one build that makes full use of it and that each character has synergies with all the others.

I always had problems getting into turn based combat games. I prefered the fluid combat of Devil may cry -or- God of war type games. This game kind of reminds me of the older Final fantasy games...and that's a good thing. The game has A LOT of lore and I enjoyed exploring it so I'm not gonna be too long...BUT this game was very very fun. It's a good game for turn based combat beginners like myself and has so much content that in my 55 hour long gameplay i unlocked maybe 70% of achievements and lore... I will come back to this game eventualy it has a very good replayability. Try it out you won't be sorry.

TL;DR: Classic JRPG mechanics with Joe Mad art. Love it! A few kinks, but definitely recommended. Pros: + I haven't played a jRPG in around 18 years and this felt like reliving a bit of my early gamer days. + I am a big fan of Joe Mad's art in games. Darksiders FTW! + Grinding - this is the main complaint I've seen, but at least on a regular New Game, it didn't bother me at all. It really felt like a part of the jRPG experience without dragging waaaaaay too long or being that boring (again - for a classic jRPG). + Combat mechanics - for sure they could have been more complex, but they felt just right to me. + Characters - cool and recognizable silhouettes with awesome animations + Game length - just right for my taste. May be one more dungeon would have been OK, but one more zone - no. Cons: - Combat experience can become repetitive as with any jRPG. I wish that there was a way to do run of the mill battles just a bit faster - may be with faster animations. - The story is nothing to write home about - Crafting is kind of boring - Game manual is OK-ish, but I had to experiment and read online about several mechanics to understand them (attack, haste, heal being directly affected by Att stat, etc.) - Installed a mod that lets off-party characters passively gain experience. Sure, I could have carried one or two during dungeon runs, but this helped me get things done faster and just saving time without feeling that I'm cheating. Otherwise this is a decision of the game design that I don't agree with. - Combat logging and overall info is lacking. Even if you see numbers, usually they are not final so you either do calculations in your hear OR you just decide with a margin of possibility/error. - NG+ starts slow and goes slow so I recommend it only for people who want more challenge and are willing to put the time and effort in repeating content just to get the best out the heroes and combat challenges.
