Ledgerbound

[b]We should have been looting bodies Ray-Ray. That’s my B.[/b] Ledgerbound takes place on a planet named Eldarra. Our protagonist, Rayna Ashvale, lives in Korador, one of the major cities on Eldarra, where she works at Heroes United Life Group (or HULG). She works as an insurance adjuster and, well, she is a bit of a workaholic. Okay, a lot of a workaholic. However, little did Rayna know that her quiet days at HULG was about to change. Eldarra’s best heroes, The Regulators, end up going against an ancient race known as the Vacari and die to them. Even worse, Rayna can’t find a way to deny the insurance claim and they had their best coverage plan! That is, if it wasn’t for her accidentally absorbing an Elderstone. All she needs to do is fulfill the prophecy and defeat the Vacari. So, Rayna and her already ragtag team set off to fulfil the prophecy. It may seem really dire and near impossible, but if Rayna manages to pull it off she’ll be able to deny that claim, save her company (and thus her job), save Eldarra, and be known as Eldarra’s new greatest heroes. And maybe, just maybe, Rayna will also make some friends along the way and maybe even find love. Classic win-win-win-win-win-win scenario. Well, what are ya waiting for? Get out there and save the world! Ledgerbound is very much a character driven story and I absolutely loved it. I really enjoyed the story. I think the story progression is handled pretty well here, the threat of the Vacari and ahem anything else like the team doing something stupid, was a big enough threat to stress over, and I honestly had a lot of fun reading through the adventure and learning more about Eldarra. I do wish there was a spot where you can look up the keywords as it can be a bit confusing and just to refresh yourself if needed, but it was quite interesting learning about the planet and even more so since Rayna learned new things as well. Ledgerbound also set expectations pretty well. I also absolutely loved all of the characters here. So much so that I don’t even know who is my favorite out of the main cast. The characters here are very well written and I honestly don’t think this would have worked as well as it did without the amazing writing here and these characters being on the same team. Ledgerbound is definitely the poster child of having characters that should be really unlikeable, but actually end up being really likeable and endearing. They all bounce off each other so well and it makes this game so much better and funnier for it. I also really loved the writing style and humor here. Also, you best believe I romanced Cazian aka the handsome Vacari.

Ledgerbound can be pretty horny at times, to the point where it will outright reference sex or sex toys. It thankfully isn’t the whole time as it really is just the beginning and the end where it’s a lot. Trust me, the game has way more jokes up its sleeve. As for intimate acts, it only goes as far as being really suggestive. Like, I’m not too ashamed to say I had to fan myself a few times suggestive. It can be a bit annoying that the game does lean more towards Rayna getting into a romantic relationship with the characters, but by the end I thought it was fine and I did like the platonic routes. The humor can also not be for everyone so I do recommend checking out a video to see if the writing and humor is something you’d like. Now, let’s get into the gameplay! Ledgerbound has a three phase gameplay loop where you cycle between the story-driven sections, turn-based tactical battles, and character-driven sections in the form of Resturludes. The first one is pretty self exploratory as that is where you get the VN style cutscenes that drive the story forward. The tactical battles are also pretty easy to get the hang of. If you’ve played tactical RPGs before, you’ll already know what to do as your goal is to complete the main objective (usually killing all of the enemies) while keeping your team alive and aiming to complete the side objectives. The only difference is that you have to keep in mind the elemental rock paper scissors system, the Rifts that can give you a buff or debuff when standing on them depending on if it shares a character’s element or if they’re weak to it, and of course everyone has their own abilities that you can take advantage of. Resturludes (a combination of the words “Rest” and Interlude”), is where it’s at though as this is where Rayna and her team, well, rests, chat, and do any pre-battle preparations. You’ll be able to talk to any teammates that want to talk so you can learn more about them and bond with them (which will then raise your relationship level with them which gives you useful Perks), maybe flirt and date some teammates, read newspapers if available, do HR Trainings to get some nice rewards, do any needed paperwork, Promote characters to a new class when they max level their current class, switch tickets you get by completing side objectives for Swag, equip Swag (aka equipment) and Liabilities (aka items that give you passive and active abilities) to your team, replay previous battles, and check the Quest Log. There are two management systems here as well: Time and Burnout. Mostly everything will take time for you to do and can either lower or raise Rayna’s Burnout. Burnout in particular is important to keep an eye on as if Burnout is too high it will give Rayna debuffs in battle and you don’t want the meter to be full. There are some negatives that I had while playing. While the game did get an update that added in the option to turn off the time management, I honestly wished there was just a bit more leeway. I did feel the choice of whether you’ll go down the romantic or platonic path with Jazz came too early. Ledgerbound also has an aggressive autosaving system, with no manual save option. This does play into the narrative, but there are some moments that did feel a bit unfair due to really bad luck and I did have some misclicks. I wished that abilities had some way to tell you that you can only use them once per battle. I also found a lot of the text too small. I specifically waited until after release to play this game and while there are still spots that need to be ironed out, I am pretty confident that the developers will fix them. As I was playing and after I completed my playthrough the developers have added in requested features and patching bugs. Like, at the time of writing this they just added a text log. [h1]Verdict[/h1] To no one surprise, I absolutely loved Ledgerbound. While I did have some gripes with the game, Ledgerbound does so many things right that it just makes this game into a must play for those that like visual novels and tactical RPG games. Heck, I’d say it’s worth it just for the story alone (if you don’t like tactical games the easiest difficulty is basically story mode). I loved how the whole game is themed around insurance and paperwork. I loved the writing, absolutely loved the characters and their voice actors (and I’m including the Narrator), loved the humor that this game had, and loved the visuals. I also really enjoyed the gameplay as, even though it is hard in the beginning, it does have a reason why and it does get easier as you progress (without, you know, getting easier difficulty wise if that makes sense). Ledgerbound might not be for everyone, but if it is you’ll have a really hilarious and wild ride in store as you help Rayna and her ragtag team of non-Heroes save Heroes United Li- I mean save Eldarra!
