Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
144 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The dark visual direction complements the story, although the graphics naturally show their age.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
93 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
These mechanics make positioning feel meaningful and occasionally allow clever tactics to overcome enemies that initially appear stronger.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
91 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The combat system itself is a bit better, however, it is still lacking visibility.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
43 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Its greatest strengths come from its hex-grid combat, flexible character development, environmental interaction, large roster of combatants, and emphasis on tactical planning.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Performance with the default graphics configuration is considered suitable, and the game can run successfully on SteamOS.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The story itself is well written for the most part and the voice acting is not bad at all, Cassia herself is a dark character so your not playing a hero or villain, your playing a mix of both in some cases.
