the best iteration on the xcom style of gameplay. don't let the recent negatives scare you off trying it. they're all skill issues

It really amazed me. Total hours played: 50/60 The game runs great on Steam Deck A strategic roguelike where you have to send your daughters on missions: - If your daughters die in battle, they end up in the graveyard, and bringing them back to life isn't that easy (in fact, you'll cry a lot if a high-level one dies). - Battles are turn-based, but everything depends on a timeline based on buffs/debuffs and action points. - It's a punishing game; you need a bit of patience to progress through the story. - The bosses aren't easy, and the game is structured in such a way that you have to "reset the game" (in fact, you get bonuses with each reset). - Graphics and sound are truly top-notch. In my opinion, it's a really good game for fans of this genre.

This game just hits different The Gameplay: Immaculate The Soundtrack: Got me moving like a claymation figure The Art Direction: Eh. It's ok. I give it a 10/10 The Performance: It functions (massive compliment) The Lore: Uh...I didn't actually read any of it, but it seems cool The Main "Problem": This game requires an intense amount of patience to finish. The fact that it's completion rate is almost identical to Darkest Dungeon is enough to send a very clear message. You will fail. It will often feel unfair. And no amount of preparation will save you from your own mistakes. But I'm a premier acoustic guitar, so I love that shit. Overall a great wife collection simulator

Idk what's with the reviews complaining about the difficulty, having finished it on the harder mode. The reviews about grinding I also find weird. I guess they haven't found the items that give 25% and 50% xp win respectevely. It's not grindy for a roguelike and you can beat this game in under 20 hours if you really know what you are doing. You don't really need a team of max level daughthers to kill the final boss even if the final boss is actually quite hard. Although even if you have some expirience and don't want to tryhard it's probably around 25 (I have more because I wanted to get all the trophies). It's not Fire Emblem on maddening mode and it's not as hard as Xcom either , I actually think that due to it not being complex is a pretty good tittle to get into strategy games but it is definetly not a walk in the park and you should expect some trouble. As someone who has played a bunch of strategy games I would rate it around an 8 or an 8.5 with story and artstyle being it's main highlights. There is a couple of frustrating enemies , the game could certantly explain a couple of mechanics that aren't clear at start like meele enemies not attacking when they spawn EXCEPT if you are next to their spawning point and some buggs but is nothing that's a big deal. It is very worthwhile the price they are asking for and on sale it's extremely fair, personally I'm hyped to see what their next game will be like.

Don't go in with the expectations that this is like XCOM. I mean it is, just get comfortable with the thought that your "daughters" will die. It's ok. This is a roguelite. Death isn't permanent here, and they'll come back stronger once you progress the game. This game also wakes up your inner, edgy, anarchistic, nu-metal-listening teenager. The one that you've buried long ago at the back of your mind. Don't look at my hours, game's much shorter than that. I just got a bit lost, trying to "cultivate" the perfect killing machines.
