Ledgerbound

Holy ♥♥♥♥!!!! What a breath of a fresh air in the tactical RPG genre. I have played a lot of Final Fantasy Tactics, Disgaea, and Tactics Ogre and the battle mechanics in this game are very fun. The voice acting is amazing and the dialog is fun. The dating sim aspect of this game is entertaining and executed well. The aesthetic throughout the game really matches the story. This game was executed well from top to bottom. Also, playing via Ubuntu with through Steam/Proton. The game runs well without any issues. Great job. Game has me hooked and going to binge play this game.

Je suis venu pour du tactical, mais Ledgerbound m'a livré une coloc de dépravés attachants. J'suis pas déçu du changement. [b]Les +[/b] [list] [*]Pitch excellent loin du sauveur du monde classique. Mélange malin entre cabinet d'assurance et fantasy [*]Système tactique simple mais plaisant (j'aurais apprécié plus de richesse quand même) [*]Le casting de dégénérés attachants. Ça part souvent en dessous de la ceinture, mais la sauce finit par prendre. [*]DA chouette, chara design au top et doublage intégral au poil. [/list] [b]Les -[/b] [list] [*]Par contre, le jeu est qu'en anglais. Faut le savoir. [*]Aucune option de config et pas de sauvegarde manuelle. Ça m'aurait sauvé pendant mon test. Mais la possibilité de relancer une mission a été ajoutée. [*]Ergonomie perfectible: on ne se déplace pas au simple clic sur une case, mais en validant le déplacement via une roue de sélection. [*]Humour parfois trop façon ado en rut qui peut te laisser de marbre si t'as passé la 4ème. [/list] Un tactical léger très sympa qui sert surtout de prétexte pour suivre les aventures d'une bande de collègues attachants, avec des dialogues qui dérapent constamment. D'ailleurs si Rayna, l'héroïne, cherche un employé pour classer son dossier "cœur", je suis dispo direct. Présentation en vidéo: https://youtu.be/74fBMMaspvI

Ledgerbound is a semi-competent tactics RPG wearing the shell of satire. Unfortunately, that satire does more to uphold corporatist propaganda and stereotypes than it ever does to tear them down. Full review: https://www.jetsonplaysgames.com/post/ledgerbound-review

It's so cuuute! And funny. And hot. And suprisingly emotional at times. I really loved all the characters of the group. Fantastic voice acting. Gameplay was enjoyable too. Had a few minor issues where bonding scenes didn't match the area I was in, or a few repeating lines, but nothing game- or immersion breaking. An immediate favourite!

[h2]Hilarious story, fun strategy, lovable cast![/h2] I just finished my first play through on Steam Deck (worked great btw!). I've already booted up the game again to try a harder difficulty and change up some of my choices/love interest(s). I think this game is well worth your money given the quality of the content. If you're a fan of VNs and your favorite parts of RPGs are the love interests, then this is a must-buy! Pros: - Gorgeous art! - Clever writing with a lot of heart (and ♥♥♥♥ jokes). You can tell it was written by humans who cared a lot about this project <3 It took me about an hour to get invested in the story, but after that I was hooked up until the end! - Unique cast of party members (and LIs). The writing did a masterful job transforming character traits that can feel grating on first meeting into something you eventually come to love about the character (e.g. I wasn't super into Jazz's whole schtick at the start, and but around mid-game she'd transformed into one of my favorites in the party!) - Interesting strategy around combat, and ability to replay battles to retry for missed quest rewards Cons: - Since there's no going back in the story due to autosaves, there were times I accidentally selected the wrong choice, and was locked into it. I was bummed when I messed up a selection on a form and missed out entirely on [spoiler]a spicy scene with Cazian[/spoiler] - No ability to skip "Read" content on replays. I chose a love interest who was monogamous on my playthrough, and want to play again with other LIs, but unlike other VNs, I can't skip through dialogue I've already seen in a previous run

Funny and highly enjoyable narrative game. Wildly underestimated the depth of it in the beginning and got really sucked into the story. Multiple playthroughs for multiple paths and the option to disable time management are very nice and increase the overall value of the game. The only negative thing I can say about it is, that I wish I had more of it.
