Fae Tactics

This is so incredible basic, slow and limited in decision making, it'll 100% help you fall asleep. 5th map and you still have to force me through an inanely dumb tutorial. Yeah, no thanks.

内容量大, 配置硬核, 内容量超高. 是一个战棋佳作. 对我来说构不成神作, 缺陷在于故事代入感不强, 玩到中后期每一关的解法类似, 策略性不够. 但不妨碍游戏依然值得尝试! 体量小, 核显即可无压力畅玩

A pretty good challenge as a tactical game for veteran players and most important it is enjoyable, this also applied to beginners, although there are some frustrating aspect like 100% evasion doesn't mean guaranteed miss the attack from the enemy. Go play this game if you want to itch the urge of playing new tactical game.

It's damn good. Mechanically, I think this might be my favorite tactics rpg. It's smart in how it puts its pieces together, it has lots of room for customization, it honestly kinda feels like a modern gatcha but without the stat bloat and lotteries. Each character has a niche, but is a piece of a larger team. The controls do take a moment to acclimate to. They're nowhere near as clunky as Valdis Story's hadouken dodge, but it'll take a moment before you adjust to how they want you to camera pan and menu. The gamefeel also really requires that you give it a minute. This is *not* a Final Fantasy Tactics or Tactics Ogre or the like. Those games have deep per character movelists and you're supposed to burst down enemies by spending the right resources at the right time. In Fae, it's better to think of each character as a chess piece. Their actions are more limited and contextual---one attack, one buff, one standby, one chargeable super. It's the way in which you interweave your team's actions that makes the gameplay work. I will say that I don't like the element system. In most tactics games you'd get like a +10% damage margin if someone attacks with elemental advantage. Here's it's an autocrit. So your dudes can get blown the hell up because they weren't sufficiently prebuffed and the enemy leader slung an elementally advantaged spell from across the map. For a main character, this puts them in a downed state and they're not removed until they take multiple hits of lifepoint damage. For a summon, they're gone unless you got an upgrade to resist this. Both main characters and summons have deep customizability, and you can gather resources and drops to expand your library of options. There's a cooking subsystem, a crafting subsystem, and a lot of hidden upgrades and recruits. Many of which are unintuitively missable. Missing them affects the true end. In a 60 hour jrpg. This sucks, but it's part of the genre territory, and you can always follow a guide if you want to bog down your play experience with the tedium of following a guide. I'm mostly not doing that. If I miss something, I miss something. If the dev wanted the true end to be reachable by regular human beings they would've made it reachable by regular human beings. Once you've liberated your soul from the samsara of wanting to play videogames perfectly, Fae Tactics is really good. The design's tight. The pixel art's great. The writing and worldbuilding take a second to get rolling, but I like them a LOT. There's a sensitivity and brutality that reminds me of a Yasumi Matsuno game, mixed with whimsy and humor and *sharp* character writing that doesn't take anyone's side but presents everyone sympathetically if you wait long enough. The music is solid and there's Chrono Trigger riffs in there so I trust their cooking implicitly. If you're a perfectionist or you're really really anchored to the Final Fantasy Tactics way of doing a tactics game, I think you'll have a bad time here. But if neither of those is true and you want to try my favorite game in the subgenre, you should really, really check out Fae Tactics. It's got a few blemishes, but there's no beauty without those. Get it on sale if you're uncertain, but I think it's absolutely worth it at full price.

It's not a bad game per say, but it's incredibly slow and repetetive, there are many better games in the genera out there.

I want to recommend Fae Tactics, because there things to like about the game, but it suffers from two glaring problems: 1. The sprites, enemies, and scenarios are extremely repetitive. 2. The dog leader trivializes the game. One the first point, I will say that units do have a unique system of abilities that helps them be useful at different points during a fight. No matter what action you choose, there is usually something decent to do . . . but certainly not always. The enemy and sprite variety, while initially good, falls off very very hard, very quickly. You'll fight the same elementals over and over again, the same trolls and goblins with a cannon or two, and mostly the same scenarios, for too long to keep your attention. The AI is pretty dumb and even the bosses repeat themselves multiple times, with meager story "reasons" to act as why. And each individual scenario is aggravatingly long, often 3 episodes each in length and you can't save in between them. It's just not acceptable when there are similar games with much more variety at all levels. 2. The dog leader (name escapes me) is just broken if you build him right. With enough defense, proper positioning and the blue bird on healing duty, you should win every fight fairly easily. The dog has an ultimate which increases all allies strength for the remainder of the battle, and this buff stacks. Your sprites get ultimate orbs each time they are damaged, and with the dog's wait ability a body shield for all your units within a large radius, that means he can activate his ultimate about every other turn in between protecting your units. Essentially, the dog leader gives so much inevitability to a team that it becomes boring to use him if you want any kind of challenge. Yes, you can use other leader units...but you have to work through the boredom problem with 1. and it's just not worth it. Overall, perhaps this game would appeal to younger or less experienced strategy gamers, but I would pass if you have a moderate or above ability to understand strategy games.
