Nice tactical game

Absolutely 10/10 experience. The game itself, when compared to other similar games, does lose in aspects. However, the naration, voice, animation, bgm, theme(tone, the atmosphere it sets), gameplay... they are all mixed together sooooo well. THIS, is what makes the game 10/10. Example: (only have few classes to choose. Other games have more. So, strategy wise, much variation; Levels are not noticibly varied or randomized. For a roguelite, this weak.). But, do those make this game worse? NO! Possibly the biggest thing of this game is the theme. Elegant, bold, deliberate. Rarely I just dig right away from the start without playing the other game just to take a break to play the game again later. The sound of intensity is there, but the animation is not showing it. It displays will power to keep going even when body begs to stop. Faced with difficult obstacles only allow small error. Know it is actually possible to tear through them, so hope is always on sight. Such a beautiful blend of polarities. Helped with the voice acting to set it. Story here is written in cryptic, with rather large gap between pieces of stories. BGMs are... why are they not breaking into the mainstream?! There is a little bug that happen often: when in combat, range, character, and enemies not highlighted. Simply close opened menu and keep pressing B and it is good. Less often, the camera would focus on the wrong character, not focusing the character that currently takes action. Also, I ever had the graphics driver crashed which I then just resetted the system. Then know later that the save got corrupted, "failed to load". It is fine. Can make a new save and create backup manually. But... my daughters..... :( The game is incredible. I highly recommend it. Just remember this: DO NOT TURN ON "faster gameplay" IN OPTION! That excellent blend I mentioned is with unchanged speed. I felt huge shift in feeling with that thing turned on. But that is my experience. Also, if you are not sure if you are in the "correct mood" or whatever when booting this, just stay in main menu for 5 minutes then start.
