Fae Tactics

I played this cause i like Endless Fluff a lot, it ended up getting me into SRPGS. Goated game that has a really good level of depth despite being very simple, the story started out whatever but ended up pretty interesting, and the pokemon minigame is awesome for teambuilding. Some of the endgame fights are very annoying, but you can cheese them and they don't really make the game worse.

Очень душные бои: ограниченный мувмент, большинство локаций сводятся к 2-3 узким проходам до противника. У тебя 5-6 юнитов, а приходится по одному их проводить по узкой тропке несколько ходов - зачем? Про то что просто до противника бежать надо ходов 6 я вообще молчу.

Estremamente ripetitivo e combat system noioso.

总体还不错的SRPG，剧情很跌宕战斗系统也很有趣，游戏对白有不少冷幽默，而体量更是量大管饱，可惜毛糙的地方实在太多，2020年发售，但六年后的今天仍然有大量包括翻译错误、战斗动画不能跳过等等小却恼人的问题，更不要说某些关卡和战斗缺少细致打磨，完全就是拖时间的勾石。 通关之后的现在，剧情虽然圆满了但我没有欣慰只感到遗憾，遗憾这样一个底子很不错的游戏既没有得到市场的认可，也没有得到制作团队认真的对待

By far one of the greatest TRPG I ever played, and thats surprising for I played many, and for its made by just two people. Fae Tactics offers a lot of revolutionary sub-systems that lets you highly spec and adapt your team. At the same time, it offers a hard but fair challenge in Hard difficulty, in which you will feel rewared when you success. Treat every scenario as a worthy battle of wits and creativity. Your team is a white canvas that you can highly customize, and there are (a very) lot of valid combinations and synergies at your disposal. Where one strategy may fall, a different approach can make you success. And its up to you to discover it!

I wanted to relive the nostalgia of turn based tactics, specifically FFTA, to see how the genre has evolved over the decades and this game made me hate them. It has, in no particular order: - Horrible pacing - Unoriginal characters, story, and pokem... I mean 'fae' - Terrible graphics (why even support 1440p when your sprites are made for 240p?????) - Repetitive, uninspired OST and sound design - Inconsequential upgrades and customizations - Unexplained mechanics that happen Mid-fight - Brain dead, slow, and repetitive combat - General lack of QoL updates that have existed FOR THE PAST DECADE! This POS wishes it was [b]half[/b] the game FFTA was and is somehow separated by over TWO DECADES. Why TF does a gameboy advance game have better graphics, story, world building, pacing, and characters then a game made TWENTY YEARS IN THE FUTURE?! How TF do you make such a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ version of the genre from TWO DECADES AGO?!?!?! The whole point of having a past is learning from the mistakes or AT LEAST improving the formula. So they put in a 2x speed turbo (still slower than old people ♥♥♥♥) and called it a day. This is true TBT slop. If you want decent TBT that keeps you engaged and has a compelling game loop (but is lacking the character development and story I so desperately wanted) then I'd recommend [b]The Last Spell[/b], but I wouldn't wish this ugly knockoff anachronistic slop on my worst enemies.

Starts out fun but quickly becomes frustrating. Almost nothing is explained, and there does not seem to be an in game index or glossary to look up what all of the status effects do, or how to clear things like being rooted for the entire battle. It took me a few fights to figure out that the swords next to the story fights meant how many fights were involved in it. Since there is no clean autosave before starting one of these chains and the game seems to overwrite your most recent save as you progress on the chain, you are often locked out of camp and stuck fighting hopeless fights without the ability to grind for resources or exp to make it easier. With a grand total of 4 save slots, if you forget to save twice before starting a quest chain, you might end up soft locking yourself out of all of your progress, or having to restart a save from 2 hours prior. Your MC will often be too slow to get anywhere or do anything, so you will save up your attacks and build up chains: cool concept with terrible execution. If your first attack is evaded, the entire chain fails and your one attack you might be able to make every few rounds is wasted. Some of your allies will be able to also attack something that you have attacked if they are in range and will happily waste an 'ultimate' on something that has one single hp left. You will often have a character be rooted, and it will sometimes last the entire battle, it seems like healing will sometimes break the root, but without anything in the game defining what root is and how to counter and break it, who the ♥♥♥♥ knows how it works. Your allies are morons; any NPC will always attack a downed boss to try to stop it from being able to be revived instead of actually helping to kill things that are attacking you, On top of this, they will often decide to get into aggro range of another group of mobs and pull them into the fight before you are ready. This game starts as average, but not having an in-game glossary, explaining almost nothing, constantly taking away player agency, playing an extremely unsatisfying MC, and manipulating my saves without my consent, or even informing me makes this a hard pass.
