as for Kingsvein in particular, This one has the most story out of all Rad Codex games. 2 of the characters are set in their personality and looks (you can build them however you like in combat minus 1 special passive for each) and then you have 2 generic mute party members you build, and your main character who has a special ability of your choice.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
17 of 50 sampled reviews raised it
Each encounter feels like a problem to solve rather than a test of raw strength, and this gives the combat a satisfying depth that rewards thoughtful play.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.

They all have a hybrid class system just like FFT, with some changes that I like and there aren't any useless meta classes like the mediator or thief (instead you just get loot off of enemies when combat is over).
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
7 of 50 sampled reviews raised it
This one has an improved art style that feels less generic and has more of its own style.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
3 of 50 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack reminds me of FFT meets Chrono Trigger, if FFT was also made on the SNES.
