The Storm Guard: Darkness is Coming

Absolutely *KILLER* CRPG!! Made by a dev team with a LOVINGLY AMAZING attention to detail! Seriously, this is one of my favs ever and I only played 6 hours and barely saw 10% of the game most likely. It's incredibly deep, has ALL the RPG elements and features and just plays so beautifully that you can tell a lot of LOVE and great skill went into making it. Love this one and will always support the devs! Check out Infested Fortress, their newer game, as well! Thanks devs!!

It's a game that is fun to come back to after trying a whole lot of other tactical turn based crpg's that were either too complex or too unforgiving. Oh, and can you save mid battle.... of coarse you bloody well can (other developers please take note).

Very cool idea, but I was hoping it would be more on the management side of things. The combat doesn't seem that fun to me (but others seem to enjoy it!), and it doesn't make sense that you play as the Lord Commander, but then don't fight in the field, and yet micro manage the patrols etc that are sent out. If there was an auto-combat option, this game would be 10x better IMO. Then, I could focus on resources and management and less on every single shot an archer has to take every single combat.

In a world where shoes are a luxury, and ladies fight monsters in their lingerie, a desperate band of Night Watch wannabes battles to save the world... Yeah so this is a tactical battle game a little like Wartales or Battle Brothers but nowhere near as polished. It ALMOST feels good enough to push on with, but I think I am finding the battles a bit too samey and repetitive. It nearly has that compulsive x factor but not quite. There is also a Darkest Dungeon's style narrator but the script and delivery is nowhere near as good - in fact it is quite amateurish. It is also a bit funny at times, presumably unintentionally, like with the shoes - my troops and enemies have been almost completely unshod so far. Shoes do exist, but you have to pay extra to get them as enhanced armor. Because tromping around a ruined dark ages warzone and fighting rampaging horrors is best done barefoot! Music is inoffensive and has moments where it feels like it is about to become something special, but it never does. And that is the game in a nutshell - almost hitting the x-factor of greater games, but not quite managing. Now given its age - 2016! - and apparently tiny dev team, that is actually…

Good old school CRPG with heavy focus on tactical combat and character progression. It is similar to other games that I enjoyed like The Hand of Merlin or Dungeon Rats, this game is a hidden gem in the same vein for those who understand depth and atmosphere.
