Fae Tactics

Game needs a neutral rating. It's a solid game akin to FFT but has some really dogwater design choices. Namely the "Ultimate" attack system. The ultimate system is so heavily skewed in favor of bosses in the game that its possible their ultimate meter maxes out every single turn which means you're dealing with high AOE damage every single round. Most bosses have high resist and can't be disabled. There is also a "downed" system where boss/player units enter a downed state and can be revived unless their downed HP is depleted or the other bosses are also downed. This also heavily favors the enemy team which often fields way more units than the player (and can summon reinforcements mid-battle while also casting spells). It's nothing for the enemy to waste turns reviving their boss units over and over while still applying full pressure to the player. I also want to add the entire late-game, the bosses just turn into one-man armies. Multiple spell casts per turn, multi-target attacks an...

I really enjoy this game and I find myself playing it a lot. It has a good mix of story play and just free battles and it heavily reminds me of the times that I played final fantasy tactics on the game boy advance and really enjoyed it

I was somehow missing Payachin and Red's 3rd weapon? But there was nothing left on the map. Enjoyed the game, but would be nice if somethings were clearer. 'Complete NG+' Achievement is also kinda... ._.

- gameplay is really great and is the reason I'm recommending this, especially on hard mode. if you like FFT and the likes you may like this as it provides a more complex and interesting mechanics compared to it. It feels great as each boss battle you need to actually make a proper planning for it. - collectibles feel like a chore at the end game as there are some case where you will have a narrow window to get it or you need to repeat a lot of things if you want to have a chance (it's not guranteed) to get it. - I can't exactly say the story is great as there are some parts that feel just there for the sake of it but on the other hand there are twists and turns you would not exactly expect it. [spoiler] the story gets dark towards the end [/spoiler].

Fae Tactics is fun so far, just follow the tutorial instructions because the game mechanics are very different from regular tactical strategy games. This game uses the mouse so make sure it's centred on the screen and not edge scrolling.

A very polished hidden gem.
