Quick conclusion. Do I recommend this game? Not at full price. People talk here like it's "Like Final Fantasy Tactics or the Fire Emblem or Disgaea". Well they are not completely wrong, but they are not right from another point of view. Everything I will say, is according to my playthrough (2 floors cleaned 6,5 hours played on hard difficulty), achievement analysis, and screenshot analysis. Lets talk in numbers. 4 Floors. 5 levels each. 20 levels (game stages total). 3 "starting" professions. Warrior upgrade goes like x3 (second) x1 (third) = 7 Archer goes like x2 x3 = 9 Magician goes like x2 x2 = 7 So it's 23 professions to choose from, not bad huh ? Yep but this are the all the enemy you will encounter in the game (+3 plot dolls who just useless but have high HP). There are no more enemy types in game. No gear. Trere are NO items or potions. No inventory. Just skills. There 6 types of magick. Guide staits that Fire->Lightning->Water->Fire and Dark->Light->Star->Dark. But trere ...

In short: It's a semi-competent SRPG with some odd design choices, grindy and tedious progression, and charming but weak characters and story. Rather than giving a comprehensive review and nitpicking about the lack of available resolutions, or how there are typos and broken tags in the game text, or how the character art was seemingly drawn by little Billy, age 6, using the GIMP's default brush and burn tool, I will focus on my biggest gripes with the game. The UI could benefit from mouseover popups that tell you in detail what everything does. None of the attributes have any kind of description, you have to open the manual for that. You can't easily hover over (de)buff icons to see their effects, you have to either check the manual again or open the caster's status menu and scroll through the skill list for the description. But how long does the buff last? The game won't tell you. Whenever a unit dies, it leaves behind a body that occupies the tile. The reason being that there is a...

Cute enough looking little turn based RPG, but one with no meat at all to it. I was hoping on first look that it would be a lighter, but still interesting, PC replacement for one of my all time favourite games Disgaea, or at least on par with something like Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. However the combat system is as basic as I've ever come across in this genre, with very little strategy involved, and poor AI. Perhaps the latter will develop later in the game, but nothing I've seen leads me to believe this will be the case. The storyline also seems very lacking, which wouldn't be so bad if there was anything to the rest of the game. Character and party customization is limited to a fusion system which again is very shallow. The art style is decent, nothing special, and the partial controller support is pretty poor, refuses to map the majority of my controls (on an Xbox 360 pad, so not a case of obscure tech), and is just a headache to use, having to switch between controller and key...

I know this is a bit early so I may edit it later down the road. Just providing this to keep some of the buyers informed. Pros *As an RPG the game is good as it gives you a wide range fo things you can do and you can change classes and fuse them to have better stats and more move sets. *Has Keybindings Cons *The art style is not that good but your not playing the game for the art style. *Resolution only gose up to 720 and Fullscreen is also binded to the Resolution (It's the one thing that bugs the hell out of me why can't it go to 1080) *Controlls are bit clunky and the Start Up Menu has keybindings but it's misleading since it's labled as Game pad *Screen dosen't lock so if you have multiple monitors you can click out. But I will say it's not a big deal since it's a trun based game but it would be nice if they had it so it would lock. All I can think of for now may add more later.

If you like Final Fantasy Tactics or Disgaea your gonna love this game for sure :D you can change jobs,learn skills,the exp its based on performace on each turn lets say if u atk some1(enemy) u will get exp but if that turn u did nothing u will get no exp,just like in FFT :P,so far the game looks awesome 10/10

After looking at this game from the steam store i felt like it could be a great turn based game like disgaea or final fantasy tactics. sadly i was mistaken. Not only do the characters all have the exact same face, but all the skills are copied from what looks like a simple rpg maker style database. the menu is a little clunky but overall after just the first fight in the game i realised that this game is a major disapointment =/ I would recommend this game to people who have never seen a game made by rpg maker. but no one else.

I had a really enjoyable time playing this game. It's not that great, but it's not that bad either. It has a good variety of skills and classes, which makes up for the lack of items and equips, giving room for many different grouping strategies. There are some challenging maps, that will require some "grinding/training", making it barely impossible to clear it in one go. There are some issues (such as a childish plot and simple graphics), but the greatest let down is the AI, which is very simple/weak (even in hard mode). The enemy's motto is basically: "just marches towards your closest foe and hit it with whatever you got". And that's bad, especially with mages. Don't be surprised to see enemy mages trying to have physical duels against your strongest warriors. Also, when using area skills, they won't care about friendly fire. Overall, this is a simple yet playable game. It's nowhere near FF Tactics or Disgaea and the price may seem a little more than it's worth. Buy at your ow...

This is frustratingly close to being a good game, but it's riddled with obvious issues that prevent it from being one: * I don't usually complain about graphics, and I do like the aesthetic of RB, but lighting is not something should not be omitted in any 3D game. * Control pad support is about as bad as it could be. * Mouse controls (which are obviously favored by the designer) are pretty bad as well. * Balancing simply didn't happen. On the whole it seems like someone was well on their way to making a great game and then they got stopped. Selling this game at the $15 mark is a bit galling. In its present state I'd value it at $5 or less. If it were to be completed then I could see $10, and if it were fully polished $15, but it's simply not there right now.

If this game was released on the PS1 console, I would have easily put 100 hours into it. However it was not, and it does not hold up in the current atmosphere of SRPGs available on Steam or anywhere else. It draws a lot of comparisons to FFT, but for all the wrong reasons. It's a basic SRPG that needs very little instruction (which is good because it offers absolutely zero) and has a wide array of classes to choose with promotional trees. This was interesting, but within the first few hours you will find yourself already dismissing entire classes due to their uselessness, and favoring mages instead. The skill leveling system was also interesting, as individual skills level up with usage, but that goes for defensive and reactive abilities too, which are obviously not easily controlled by you. This leads to some major grinding needed. To level up the way you'll probably want to, you need to revisit previous stages. The stages are the exact same layout as your original fight, and ...

one of the better SRPGs released in a long time. Hard difficulty is quite hard. There is no Disgaea nonsense here. There is no ffta or ffta2 nonsense. This is a pure SRPG not a Korean grinder pretending to be a SRPG. If you're bad power leveling isn't going to help you much. At least not on hard. Plays like FFT mixed with either older front mission or tactics ogre. Compared to FFT you have far fewer skills per unit but they all do significantly more (e.g. damage + status or defense + status removal). You can pick up to 6 things from a list of actives, passives and overwatch/reaction skills. You have limited "casts" of actives per battle, but outside of high tier star spells its hard to run out. There are no items. Passives are basically your items. If your strategy is good you'll progress, if not you wont. Simple as that. If you can't figure it out and refuse to think of some good strategies don't play SRPGs.
