Score: 3/5 A less immersive, more upbeat, shorter Darkest Dungeon-like with many of the same core issues that ends up still being a good time even though it's clearly inferior. The Good 1. Music, Audio, SFX 2. Visuals/Art Style and animations are great 3. Players have a moderate amount of competitive options for building characters, especially their Monarch, who is reasonably stronger than all the other characters by mid-game. This results in sometimes having to permanently sacrifice one or more lesser characters to keep your Monarch alive. Hell yeah. 4. Having a time-limit for the standard game difficulty is very appreciated. Like removing fast travel, or adding survival mechanics, adding time restrictions to (main quests in) games like Morrowind/Skyrim significantly improved my experience with both. However, I realize that these things cause the opposite effect for... probably around 1-2 to 3/4 of the audiences interested in these types of games, as it causes more anxiety/stress than satisfying challenge, or changing the way you think about and play the games. 5. On a related note, the time-/resource-management aspects are pretty balanced mid- and late-game, where you have to decide if you're going to upgrade a character that turn or use them to progress the quest. Or deciding to use your hard-earned resources on upgrading one facility or another that each give strong benefits. On a negative note though, early game is moderately more restrictive for a viable run, with multiple noob-traps/hidden information issues. 6. Variety A lot of different areas and enemies and units that are visually/mechanically distinct and interesting enough to last for the 5-10 hour play-through. 7. Fairly Good Scaling Compared with the competition, the weapon/armor upgrades, many artifacts, and enemy stats were pretty balanced throughout the game, with late-game enemies and viable class builds being slightly too much stronger compared to their early game counterparts for my tastes. The Bad 1. Balance and Artificial Difficulty About a quarter of the classes are moderately under-powered, and another quarter are somewhat under-powered. This ruined my second run of four. About half are, give or take, on the same competitive tier, just specialized for different encounters. One Monarch option is OP, through a combo with one or two other classes. Thankfully, I didn't realize this until after I completed the game. Some character upgrades are moderately counter-productive for some classes. Come on. Making choices in the wrong order, which requires meta-knowledge from previous failed runs (or a wiki/guide), rather than careful/strategic play, ruined my first and third runs. This was because a significant amount of information is withheld from the player, making it easy to face a permanent consequence where you'll be unable to finish the main quest in time. Like Darkest Dungeon, healers refuse to heal outside of combat, including in town. This is extremely frustrating until late game, and is a strong negative for both games. Similarly, but different than DD and being worse off for it, potions/consumables can only be used in combat. Do better. These unreasonable restrictions to increase difficulty do not result in a satisfying challenge. It's immersion-breaking and unreasonable. I almost quit and didn't recommend either game because of these BS design decisions. It's like the "no cell service" trope in lazily written horror movies set in modern first-world settings, or bullets/missiles inexplicably not being effective at killing edgy 20-somethings in the Final Fantasy series compared to absurdly sized swords. I'm not playing strategy games like DD/Tinyfolks to turn my brain off. 2. Bosses have a special mechanic where they get to act after each of your characters, in addition to having very strong move-sets/stats. This can make having more party members less effective if you bring members that boss happens to be immune to, or classes that aren't specialized to deal with said boss. And you can't escape once the combat with a boss starts, which caused my Monarch's perma-death once. An area's pre-boss enemies will usually give you a good idea of whether you should bail without major penalty before facing the boss though. Late-game, somewhat unfortunately, you can win most fights, including bosses, with some luck with upgraded characters that aren't specialized. I only had to bail on one area out of like six/eight late game because I realized the boss would probably wipe my party. 3. Mild grinding required, but the game can be completed within 10 hours compared to DD's... 80 or so. So a very reasonable and appreciated change here.

This a fresh, simple and cute take on Darkest Dungeon core-gameplay. Plenty of options to customize your team and your playthrough + game modes are fun. I absolutely recommend this game, it's worth every cent !
