After starting, though finishing atleast 3, the scripted campaigns, I decided I wanted even more tales for my pantheon of reusable, metaprogressed heroes and their children, children's children, you get the point. Wonderfully crafted party-based RPG that really leans into procedural generation and emergent story telling. By the end of my 70 hours, I had a veritable village of heroes with different mutations, rivalries and romances, gear, and special abilities so that no two really felt alike, though harder difficulties did force class builds/ tried and tested strategies in order to survive. The spectrum from cozy to challenging is all here through thorough and HIGHLY customizable difficultly sliders and options. Gameplay generally exists across a set number of chapter (1-3 I believe?) that tell a grander story. Each story has an overworld map wherein you'll send or split your party to explore, fortify, defend, and strike out against enemy strongholds before culminating in a final, scripted dungeon and fight that you'll definitely want a full party on. Time passes during hero travel; new opportunities can arise, regions can fall, sieges begun all while moving your party from point a to point b, so planning in the overworld has actual consequences on how difficult your chapter will be. An easy rule of thumb is the more time spent in each chapter, the more difficult the entire story becomes as new enemy types, buffs, and debuffs start popping off. When getting to a point of interest in the overworld, a grid-based tactical combat ensues. Your typical action point, movement point economy typifies the combat. The art style has a slight 3d feel with paper cut outs for enemies, allies, and matching artistic renderings of terrain (buildings, rocks, houses, etc) and small animations that liven the characters up (static pieces don't do it for me). Different classes have different strategies and ways to approach enemies, but personally the magic system's inherent use of the environment through abilities called Infusions is a stand out. Different effects sprout from using the abilitiy on different forms of terrain; infusing a barrel, using its splinters on a group of enemies is far different than animating a weapon rack after all. Class builds are fun to shoot for, but there is a degree of randomness on level up as well as the gear you come across in your adventures (though you will have a chance to buy some equipment in between chapters, currency for which is found in the overworld through events and building fortifications). Still have fond memories of my heroic raven beaked, hammer and shield wielding paladin that would heroically zip around the battlefield. TLDR: worth playing if you want to procedurally generate an adventure with friends or solo

Amazing

Interesting game that has a solid framework. Could use more variety on armor styles though and have them better follow the color scheme you pick for the character.

WOW

Amazing game, fantastic stories. I enjoy turn-based combat games, and if you do I highly recommend this game. It has a novel approach to magic as well, where your characters connect to objects on the battlefield and use them for various attacks and other effects. It makes them useful for more than just cover, so the layout of the battlefield informs your strategy. It took me a little while to get used to the graphics, but I really enjoyed watching the characters update with the armors, items and weapons they picked up. It gives them each a unique style. The transformations are fun too, and the pets (and spirits!!) are adorable as well as useful. It's a charming game, and it's worth reading through and enjoying the stories in addition to the combat. I was a bit baffled early on at some odd character behavior... if this happens to you, check the characteristics and you'll find you wound up with a "goofball." Once I figured that out it made a lot more sense. And honestly I love that the characters have these characteristics that affect how they interact with the narrative. A++ game, cannot recommend highly enough!

Uno de los mejores juegos que he jugado y terminado sin ninguna ayuda. Todo lo que puedo decir es bueno. Los gráficos una pasada, el sistema empleado de piezas de cartón o papel deslizándose en 3D por un paisaje también de cartón es una preciosidad y le da al juego una belleza inmensa y una jugabilidad preciosa ya que puedes girar los escenarios para ver a los personajes desde distintos puntos de vista , lo cual es muy importante y en algunos momentos imprescindible para saber si los enemigos u objetos están en línea de tiro u obstrucción ya que todos los objetos funcionan como si fueran reales. Esta característica es una de sus maravillas aunque provoque más trabajo de tus neuronas. Los hechizos , golpes, magia y demás efectos siguen el sistema de recortábles de papel. Así como los sonidos del juego y la musica que es perfecta para el juego. La historia, la vida de los personajes que durante el juego evolucionan envejecen y mueren como la propia vida real es un aliciente así que has de procurar que vivan mucho o sacrificarlos en bien de otros. Ademas los personajes son amigos, enemigos, se enamoran, se llevan bien o mal y hasta tienen hijos que puedes reclutar a la causa. En realidad el juego es como una saga de personajes que viven y mueren durante unos años que ocurren los hechos y la historia. Si te van los juegos de rol, aventuras y estas cosas y no te molesta que tus personajes cambien y evolucionen durante el juego , lo vas a disfrutar como un mono en un platanero. El juego tiene muchas características de grabar, cargar y demás como en otros juegos, pero es rejugable, ademas las partidas y héroes muertos se quedan para siempre en los anales de la historia del juego. Puedes variar la dificultad del juego y mucho, mucho más. Com dirían muchos lo vas a flipar. El juego es un 11 sobre 10. No debería faltar en ninguna biblioteca. Se nota enormemente el amor de los diseñadores en su criatura, mi enhorabuena!!!

Very fun party-rpg!
