TL;DR This game is designed to play again with a new game + so don't feel the need to hammer yourself to pieces in the hard battles or try to upgrade everything. You literally can't max everything in one go, so just do what feels right. It took me about 15 hours to get through the campaign. (This includes time I played the demo that's not included in my total playtime stat). I approached this game blind, and not realizing I've played other games by the same developers years ago on the Nintendo DS set in the same world. These games share the writer and composer with FUGA. The world, characters, and story are what drives this game. At several points it made me legitimately emotional as things developed and we learn more about these characters and the struggles they endure. Gameplay can be a bit... repetitive? I'm a big fan of turn based strategy games but I usually that entails maneuvering and planning ahead where this is more, shuffling your crew. A different experience from say X-Com or Fire Emblem were you have to worry about an entire battlefield as opposed to focusing on a single unit. Get attached to the crew, they're all lovely. I'll be moving on to the sequel for sure.

Fuga: Melodies of Steel is a nice and a bit haunting tactical RPG. These furry kids are pretty cool. Let's explore the ups and downs of the game (+, +/-, -, ?): +The story is clearly filled with real-life reflections of what happened during World War 2. This is both great and terrifying, and at times, the game can become very uncomfortable, but it's probably at its worst in the beginning with the Soul Cannon. +The Soul Cannon is a terrifying concept. You can let one of the kids sacrifice themselves for a Soul Cannon shot...but, you clearly shouldn't. This is very apparent right from the start. I was determined not to use the Cannon during my playthough and I'm so glad I didn't. +The kids, these furry little cool peeps, are great characters. Malt is a nice good guy, Hanna is super nice (probably my favorite), Bron is Fat Albert, Kyle is the city boy, Socks is Donatello and Mei is...Mei. Other characters do join your party in time; Sheena, Jin and Britz are great, Chick & Hack are fine...* +The gameplay is simple turn-based goodness. You operate the tank, Taranis, and use your red, blue and yellow cannons to wreck havoc. The color coding is a nice addition (easier to delay enemy actions), every kid feels like a fine fighter and the game rolls on quite nicely.** +Free time was just the best time. I like how you can do a lot inside Taranis and it's up to the player to choose what to focus on next. Improving the tank and affinity/link attacks is a must thou. +THE OST is pretty damn good and fits the game super well. I usually prefer instrumental music, but the singers are awesome right here. +The designs are awesome, and the art style is so beautiful. I was eagerly looking forward to each new picture/painting. +Loved exploring the ruins! Wish there was more of this in the game. +The sound of Bron eating is perfection. NOMNOMNOM! +/-The adult characters are mostly boring, but the main baddies are pretty cool. I wouldn't have named my Mengele Blutwurst thou***. +/- The game is very linear and the fighting kinda just comes and goes as you really just want to get to the next "Intermission" or a story bit. +/-Only 20 AP for each intermission? But! I want to make everyone happy and this and this... +/-**About 50%, or more, of the skills are not that useful. I found myself using the same attack all the time. This also applies to status effects. Smoke and stun all the way. +/- The difficulty is a bit off. The game starts of okay challenging, gets a bit hard at times, but the final boss fights are way too easy. On a strange note, the mortar tanks are surprisingly the hardest enemies in the game. -*...I find Wappa annoying and almost useless. It's not that she's that bad, but when compared to the rest of the cast... -The game could've used more sadness and death. I was expecting a horrible twist, but that never came to be. This is quite disappointing considering the setting. -The game can get very repetitive. I found myself mentally logging out from time to time. I recommend playing this once or twice a week. ?***I don't know if I like or hate the character names. ?Remember to remap the controls. I had to start from the beginning because I messed up my "confirm B" and "back A" inputs. ?Apparently this is a prequel to a PS1 game. What... ?NG+? Gotta give it a try! Fuga: Melodies of Steel is a great furry turn-based title. While a bit lacking in some fronts, the game takes you for a cool ride in an amazing tank. I heard the sequel is even better, so better give that a go too in the near future! Enjoy the horrors of war with these furry kids in a massive tank. 8,5/10.

Well, its JRPG so the kids have to destroy God again. The game can give cozy feeling, because of visuals, arts and music - all of them are good. The worldbuilding is remarkable as well, the whole plot takes place in the mixed equivalent of World War I and World War II, and contains some strong allusions to real history. But the plot is doing good, never presses too hard and never looses its easygoing and naive nature. The main characters are French, but they anthropomorphic animals, so they're tolerable. They are all shown very schematically and are nothing more than cliches, but this is not a big problem, there are too many of them in the game to reveal them all. The most problematic part of the game is the gameplay, it lacks of depth and variety, so game can easily get boring if you try to rush it. The solution here is to play it a little bit at a time, hour or two per session. That's why it can be called the ultimate steamdeck experience, short sessions makes this game really good. I can recommend this game with a disclaimer.

Short and simple but fun, also very cute. Although, there is just something hilarious about loading children into a death canon as a game mechanic.

Fuga is a game that feels like a relic of the PS2 or even PSP. It feels as though it was designed in that time, but, that doesn't make it any less enjoyable. I went into this game with high expectations, and although they weren't met, still completed the game feeling happy with what I had experienced. I had this game in my wishlist for a few years, originally wanting it physically on the Switch, but abandoned the idea once I found out how rare it was to find locally. I suppose all those years is what built up the expectations I had for this game, as I hadn't really seen much about the game, outside of the review from the YouTuber Clemps. To be honest, I don't remember much from the video, but whenever I did watch it just made me want to play it more. So I bought the game on Steam a few months later on sale, and let it sit in my library.. As I do. Now, after finally completing it, I can say that this game is very good. Not amazing, but still such a good game. The gameplay was addicting, and the great music kept me going throughout my experience. The story, although decent, wasn't what I was expecting, and it was unfortunately told in a way, that felt dated. BUT! I can see why it was designed this way (which I'll get into later). There was a few interesting characters in the roster, and lots of really cute and charming ones as well. Britz was definitely my favourite, as he had the most development, and a really cool design to go with him. A lot of the characters and the art were all just top notch. CC2 is an infamous developer, if you've heard of them, you probably know them from the Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm series, or their earlier works on the PS1. From my assumptions, I assume that they're really passionate and talented developers, who're unfortunately a "slave" to a giant publisher, forced to make anime arena fighters every year, and because of that, they've worked up a poor reputation, which imo, is not deserved. Similar to Game Freak, the developers of Pokemon, who unfortunately suffer a similar fate, they're both just working their asses off, to make the best possible game they can, with the time and budget that they have. This leads me to my final thought on this game, it's that the funding is clearly something they didn't have a lot of. Going back to my point about the "older" feeling I have with the game, is that the game lacks a lot of what we're spoiled with nowadays. Animated openings and cutscenes, fully voiced dialogue, extensive sound track, a variety of enemies, difficulty selection and more. If you're expecting any of the above things mentioned, unfortunately, they're not here. Now, I bring this up, because I expected this game to really pull at my heart strings, and fill me with anxiety. But I found it hard to when pretty much everything that normally WOULD make me feel that way, is just a still image and a text box. I can't feel the character's dread in certain story beats, because I have difficulty feeling something when it's explained to me, and not really shown. I feel guilty saying this, because I REALLY liked this game, and I understand the budget constraints, but I also can't help how I feel. The beginning and final climax, is really the only time I felt something, which makes sense when you're putting this story together with what little you've got, but there are even more events in this game that are dark, but I just, couldn't really care as much as I'd have liked to. With all that said, this is 100% a game worth anybody's time. If you can get past the things that I personally have issues with, Then you might walk away in love with this game, and that makes me really happy if I could make that happen. I'll definitely be buying the sequel, and I'm still overall happy that I finally got to play this game. It really is a hidden gem amongst all the Indie and AA games on Steam.
