A fun little game. Very enjoyable, but a few bugs in the pipeline can lead to loading issues. Usually a quick restart fixes it. Great story. Enjoyed it. Very cozy.
Overall it's a solid game to start a journey into the Tactics genre of games or if you look for a love letter to the genre.
I do reccomend it especially if you are new to these types of game, if you love TTRPG culture, and that feeling of being in a nerd club in school/college.
A solid 7.5/10, not the best you can find but it has the heart in the right place and to me that matters a lot. And for the price it's totally worth it.
VIBES:
The game has some of the few actual good vibes of stranger things: a group of outcast nerds facing an epic challenge and solving a mystery about otherwordly stuff. If you liked the tv-series for this feeling this is the game for you. It's also about TTRPG being something more than a game and about meaningful connections and stories <3 which is what i loved most about this.
The cast of characters is actually nice and you get to know them pretty well over the course of the game, and they are relatable, had some people like these in most groups over 25 years of playing RPG. The conflicts are well put, the choices have some consequences and you can mess up a few things.
Some narrative choices are genuinely funny, and the ending of some characters made me snort out loud. xD
GAMEPLAY:
The gameplay is pretty easy and straightforward, you solve a few easy quests and practice combat encounters where you get S ranks if you do everything by the book.
After the first 3-4 chapters sometimes fights can be too easy if you are familiar with these games, but some fights were very creative and the its more challenging the closer you get to the finale.
There is no excessive powergaming and build-planning, but you can get pretty creative with some things. Certain combos are objectively stronger once you unlock some characters with OP powers xD but you still will have some challenging encounters.
The only thing I didn't like was the fact that you get nothing but glory if you finish one fight with S rank...I would've preferred to have some in-game currency to spend maybe for skins or something flavoury like that :) at some point I stopped caring about the ranks because I am not that kind of gamer.
STORY
Basic and solid, nothing too much surprising but with a nice twist. People around you are people, you can disagree with them or have different stances or hobbies but the message of the game is clear and is a good one. And, of course, f*ck f4sh1st as Jacob would say <3
To me it addresses many issues in modern gaming communities: identity, acceptance by non-nerds, gatekeeping, style of play, having fun, insecurities, loneliness, community.
It's a good story, with relatable characters and a good message. It says what it wanted to say and did a pretty good job in doing so. Thanks for the experience and the good work.
I hope it gets some more recognition :)
I suspect this game is actually for children but I'm having a nice time with it all the same
Comprei o jogo pois adoro RPG mas tinha deixado de lado ja que eu comprei com varios outros, e decidi jogar hoje, eu nao sou muito de colocar comentarios mas esse aqui me frustrou bastante, pelo simples fata de ser um jogo nojentinho de esquerda, pena que não da mais para fazer reembolso... preguiça de vocês, sinceramente é uma pena pq o jogo é bem legal, adoro a ideia, o estilo, a arte, mas vocês conseguiram estregar o jogo com politica parabéns.
decent gameplay and relatively short, but heartwarming story
