i really dig the story, the art, the tactical possibilities. it scratches a FF itch for me. is it perfect yet? no really. there are bugs (don't understand negative reviews because of that, it is EA after all...) and some suboptimal design choices (like exp distribution, some UI issues, balancing in general), but those devs watch closely and are fast to correct, so i'm very positive this will become a gem when released.

Very good game, the future should hold well if they keep working on it. Art style very reminiscent of Darkest Dungeon, Don't Starve Together and a few other steam games. But is still very unique. Gameplay is similar to FF Tactics, but looks way better and more modern. If you like turned based tactics you'll like this game

Great little game. Dark fantasy tactical turn based combat. A tribute to old favorite games like Vandal Hearts. I love the artwork, it's evocative and clear. The different characters have style and are really diverse. I wish the developers the best the of luck.

So far, the game is really good! The gameplay mechanics are intuitive and very easy to learn, making it quick to jump into. Visually, the art style gives off strong Darkest Dungeon vibes, which looks absolutely fantastic. The only thing missing right now is an achievement system. If the developers could add achievements in a future update, it would be perfect!

So far so its good, looking forward to more. But dear god, do not play this with a controller like the devs recommend, its the most clunky horrible PoS control system on controller i've ever seen. Just use your mouse and save yourself the headache.
