I don't really that much time in the game so take my input with a grain of salt, but I really didn't like the feel of the game especially combat wise. The hits don't really register for me when 5 people hit something it feels like I'm looking at two legos bumping into each other. Maybe I just couldn't hear properly but I couldn't really appreciate the music or sound effects. Even though you can't move the camera around and zoom in and out since when you travel the over world with the camera stuck to your character it feels very wobbly. if you have ever played ragnarok online before, this game attempts to do that with sprite based characters with the same camera angles but that game executes its camera much better without making you feel sick and that game is like 2 decades old. Honestly I really wish I appreciated the gameplay a bit more I couldn't really, honestly I've had a much better experience playing Soul Nomad and that game is over a decade old already. I would have honestly stuck through the game if the camera work didn't give me a headache when I was playing it

This is along the lines of Symphony of War and the Original Ogre Battle. For all players who love customization on a granular level with armies that exceed 30, 40, and even 100 units. This is for you!

This game has given me a lot of good vibes from playing it so far. It's not quite as deep in character building as, say, Final Fantasy Tactics, but it sits in a nice middle point between the character customization of FFT and something more linear character building wise like Ogre Battle.

Less of an adventure than a long nag. I love the concept of controlling customized squads rather than one character at a time, but... It plays like an unfinished or early access game. Sadly, it's been out for years and still lacks polish. The modders have helped a little (more class types, etc), but there's still too many bugs, places to get stuck, trouble navigating around (which seems increasingly unnecessary!) and the card system for leveling up is either grind-bait, or an invitation to pointless frustration. Randomization for quest objectives are another cause for frustration. I have personal gripes about the storyline and poor writing, especially how the script seeks to force you into making decisions that they impose as 'moral', or lose your earliest companion, etc. Plus most of the characters are either completely shallow or outright annoying. It doesn't help that everybody (including each main character) has the same face. All told, the whole thing feels incredibly soulless.

Do I recommend this game? If you are a fan of squad-based combat and enjoy games like Symphony of War, Unicorn Overlord, or Ogre Battle, you'll probably like the overall combat in the game. You form several squads. You can build those squads how ever you want. There's multiple classes. Abilities learned persist across class changes so you can mix and match them, creating variations even with the same end class (you could have a mage that learned druid skills and one who spent life as a cleric first, etc.). There's permadeath so you want to care about every soldier or be prepared to hire someone and have to train/re-train them. All of that is well and good. The story is pretty solid also, and overall it's a good game. So why would I consider NOT recommending the game. Well the interface bugs...they just are a consistent threat. You can literally walk off a lot of the maps and be stuck with no recourse but to reload a save (or use the console commands if you know how). It's very frustrating and can cause an unexpected loss of progress. Using the mouse to control movement on the maps is no better, in fact it's probably worse. So just use the keyboard to move around. It's really the biggest flaw with the game, and if it was just in certain areas, maybe it wouldn't be so bad, but most of the maps, especially those with ridges, cliffs, or bridges, allow it to happen. There are other minor interface issues...sometimes the Notes box on the character sheet (a very nice idea, btw) doesn't give you the cursor to type. Exiting the pause menu and reopening it (often) fixes it. The game doesn't save your preference for melee or ranged combat for your squads. You have to keep changing it for ranged squads every time you reload. But these quirks don't mess with the experience in a major way. Another quibble I have with the game is the inability to buy certain types of equipment. For example, I'm having no luck finding anyone who sells accessories. Some areas don't have druid circles, so if you need to replace (or just want to acquire) wolves, faeries, etc. that you get from Druidry, you're out of luck for stretches at a time. And while I appreciate the permadeath option, losing an individual unit can make it very, very difficult to train up a replacement because they will be woefully underpowered and die quickly. So, overall, it's a solid game and I'm enjoying my time with it. It is just frustrating to get pulled out of the experience with the movement issues in the game especially. Fortunately, if you need/want the console commands, they are freely given on the game forum on Steam, which is appreciated, even if they weren't helpful solely for dealing with bugs/quirks.

It's fun at first, but it's hella janky. Got it on sale for 90% off, it's ok for the sub $5 genre.
