   Must play for RPG lovers. I would probably love it more if I were a league of legends player.

It's not as good as Battlechasers, but had fun with. Finished on veteran around 40h, completing almost everything.
   
   The good: fun battle system, great story, fun (but previously established) characters, nice music and sounds. Engine provides solid graphics and as always looks nice in its cartoonish-cellshading style.
   
   The bad: too much loadings, which take too much time, making the quasi-obligatory backtracking tedious. Gameplay wise, it has horribly slow start, revealing mechanics without any serious plan for first 6h. On the other hand, close to the end you just don't want to fight anymore, because fights became repetitive and not challenging (at least on veteran). While weaker enemies run away from the party, level difference needs to be 6+, but you end at level 30 with most areas boosting enemies to level 25.
   
   Pathed version I played still had a lot of bugs. Especially game crushing after battles (from programming perspective, I think they have some issue with adding new entries to Bestiary; reloading game fixes problem for time). Since autosave is scarse, there is no quicksave and entering saving menu after most battles take so much time it was element that ruined my experience most.
   
   Compared to Battlechasers food lost it's importance, since you can only buy it, and enchantments don't feel so powerful, especially since 3 of characters rely on critical hits, so you naturally boost it for them. Also casting healing skill before killing all enemies will no longer cast it before battle end. Also it feels there is much less variety in environments, but it is due to the story. More enemy types would be fun, but it's not too bad.
   
   Overall I recommend playing it to all fans of RPG, especially older jRPG types. I don't feel my time wasted in general, but also I probably won't play it again to get platinum.… Expand

   As a fan of the studio with high expectations from past games, this feels like a step back.
   
   Key point The power growth of the RPGAs a fan of the studio with high expectations from past games, this feels like a step back.
   
   Key point
   
   The power growth of the RPG mechanics are not acknowledged in the story. This effectively renders the RPG genre it exists within pointless.
   
   In Pokémon, SMTV, Wastlanders 3 and so on your need to grow in power is acknowledged narratively and drives the experience. Every RPG mechanic in this game is not acknowledged by the characters to the point that growth feels superficial.
   
   Poor level design
   
   The evolution of Turn based RPGs has enemies visible in the world. This means that levels can be engaging because there is the choice to avoid the enemies. This game has given floor enemies so much speed nearly every mob is needs to be cleared by player.
   
   Mechanics
   
   Running in the world feels wrong, sluggish, and laborious. Character abilities feel token and tacked on.
   
   Story
   
   The story is rushed. The developments lack meaning. With no single protagonist to focus on the narrative lacks a anchor.
   
   Visuals
   
   On PS5 the game looks like it is from 2007 and the game has purchasable DLC for outfits that are honestly the terrible.
   
   Summary,
   
   Very disappointed. Massive fan of the studio's past games. This one feels rushed, half baked and without real passion. If you come into this expecting a game that oozes love for league of legends or the RPG genre you will not find such a game.… Expand

   I love turn based games and this one had a huge amount of promise. Its could have been great but instead settles for mediocrity. Don't get meI love turn based games and this one had a huge amount of promise. Its could have been great but instead settles for mediocrity. Don't get me wrong, the graphics are well done but it takes more than that to make a good game. The UI is pretty bad. This makes every battle frustrating. Even moving through the battle and standard interface is a chore. The worst thing by far though, are the characters. apart from one or two, these are the most poorly written and two dimensional characters I've seen in a while. They are stereotyped and cringe worthy. One female character is muscle bound behemoth and you're forced to play with them early on. You have no strong main character, instead you have to play through multiple characters which loses the sense of progression and character building. I'd like a sequel to this game that's made right with an awesome main character or allowing the user to at least customize or create their own.… Expand
