Ledgerbound

Probably the funniest game I've played.

Came for the insurance denial, stayed for the characters, story, and comedy. Also I came but thats besides the point

I need Jazz to top me while she pulls my hair and calls me a worthless bottom line, her stupid little liability. The voice acting in this is amazing.

For all its snark and spice (which I equally enjoy), Ledgerbound is a beautiful game with a compelling narrative and a cast that I found myself caring about wholly by the end, and a story I felt no less invested in either. Combat is simple but fun, felt satisfying to get strategies going even if they were basic. Camp time management can be a little iffy, but with equal shares of heartfelt moments and humour it doesn't feel too bad to have to skip out on one conversation or another. (There has also been a setting added recently to toggle off time management if it is such a dealbreaker!) Each of the party members' stories felt unique and grounded in the world too, I never found myself bored in talking to anybody. Romances also have plenty of rewarding connection and spice if that's what you're after too. Overall, full marks, the only issue I ever really had was with initial bugs both in the demo and nearby the release itself, but all the major ones that I'm aware of have been corrected!! Thank you for the opportunity to experience this story :)

I get goosebumps from this voiceovers...

I genuinely love this game, enough to write a review. The mix of tactical RPG with endearing characters really sold this game and became an instant hit for me. The humor and horny won't be for everyone, but for me and my friends that I stream this to, it's been a hit. There have been many, many, many moments that had me laughing out loud, and I have gotten one of my friends to play himself (which is great, I needed someone to blab to about this game) The voice acting is top notch. Everyone knocked it out of the park, from the party members, to bosses, to side characters. There was a lot of love and care done by the writing team and voice actors, you can feel this was a true passion project. Art, characters and environments are gorgeous, the music is a bop and the gameplay is polished. I jumped into another playthrough as soon as my first was done just to see conversations that I missed in my first run. I appreciate the option to have platonic friendships that still develop in a meaningful way. Everyone stands out, and I loved the entire party. No one felt out of place, or came in too late to build a connection. And the romance is great, getting that bond up with your chosen character(s) feels so good, especially in the later half of the game. The time management system, I enjoy it. It made me really think about what I was doing in each rest, planning out my time between talking to members, equipping gear or chasing the 3 stars on battles. It won't be for everyone, but there is an option to disable this if you want. The combat itself is engaging, and the enemies getting more abilities down the line kept it fresh through the whole game. Some bugs I ran into were characters being quiet in their dialogue in some scenes, VA not matching subtitles, and in one case a battle getting stuck, leading to me utilizing the "reset battle" in the options. I would love an option to replay conversations with characters, the voice acting is too good to only hear it once. I highly recommend this to anyone, but I would suggest looking at some early gameplay to get a feel for the humor and dialogue. I look forward to what the team will put out in the future (hopefully DLC or another game)!

Pretty fun romp: Like Fire Emblem if it had a company mandated amount of Horniness. Voice cast and the writing a highlight, and the mission replay being a gag in itself was great
