Ledgerbound

I love everything about this game, the story, the cracking, the characters, the cracking, the music, the setting. its just amazing, PLEASE GIMME A DLC ALREADY

Genuinely one of the best games I've played all year. Voice acting is amazing, story is funny, characters are great and written well. Combat isn't the deepest tactical combat you'll find, but is still really fun, while also providing a challenge when you try to get that perfect score in each. My only complaint is Pallas. 10/10

romancing the demon girl and dragon girl like there is no tomorrow

increasing shareholder value is my passion

I've been waiting for this game since I played the demo. I don't normally play games so close to the visual novel genre, but I'm pleasantly surprised by how good Ledgerbound is. The voice acting is spot on and makes Ledgerbound that much better. I can't recommend this game enough. Must play.

I'm considering a lobotomy to be able to play the game fresh!

Genuinely fun and witty! I'd imagine the humor's not going to be everyone's cup of tea, but as someone who's easily put off by Marvel-style humor ([spoiler]do *NOT* be discouraged by the freeze frame on the intro please it gets better lmao[/spoiler]), I'd say this is a safe choice. The tone/characters feel like a mix between something out of Discworld and a Dimension 20 campaign, with a heavy dose of mildly horny commentary (so far, at least?)/romance. If you like these things, you might like this one. After reading so many reviews/forum posts complaining about the time/burnout mechanics (to the point they have actually included an option to disable it?), I was a bit wary, but so far everything seems perfectly fine? I'm far from being a minmaxer tactician genius in Fire Emblem games, but playing on the second "hardest" difficult I haven't encountered any roadblocks nor missed any optional objectives so far. Yes, you won't be able to max everyone's little heart meter with the time/burnout constraints, but isn't that the point? Personally, it feels more interesting having to manage which characters I want to focus on/which equipment is worth sacrificing time/burnout for than magically being able to get everyone to max hearts all the time, but to each their own. Needless to say, the voice acting is phenomenal. Jazz and Rayna's VAs are absolutely killing it, and Matt Mercer is, of course, Matt Mercer [strike](I might be turning into a furry. Stupid sexy meow meow)[/strike]. I also really like how naturally the dialogue flows on auto advance. I'm usually a big hater of auto advance on visual novels but it feels genuinely perfect here. Rayna is a fun protagonist, and I love seeing a fellow girloser with glasses take the lead. Go queen deny that insurance claim and serve your capitalist overlords!!!!!! Can't really think of any downsides, except that I wish it was localized in more languages, but I understand this might be a daunting task considering the huge volume of text. That and, as I've said before, the humor/tone will not click with everyone (which is only natural). If you're curious, I'd say it's worth grabbing and checking it out! 10/10 having a lovely time 🥰

Good
