I Have Low Stats But My Class Is "Leader", So I Recruited Everyone I Know To Fight The Dark Lord

I really wanted to like this game, it was funny collecting everyone. That was really the best part, just the beginning. Everything after that just got more and more tedious. I really hate the combat, honestly I'm just spamming between like three characters to get through it. Li is gonna be extremely broke when I do finally finish this game, IF I finish this game... Good lord, I'm only on episode 27! Just get me to the final boss already please!!

Joke stops being funny after a while and all the assets are stock from the engine. You’ll only get any enjoyment out of this if you feel managing a small militia is any kind of fun.

Why yes I am this exact brand of insane. Give me 100 more characters. Idgaf. Unmanageable who? Joke where? I am so serious about this. Can't handle it? Cowards.

Recruiting a massive party of people and running around with them is enjoyable and funny. The combat is not. The combat would be greatly helped with any search functionality so I could search for who has heal skills, who has spells that do X damage type, etc. The game seems to consist of only the start "recruit everyone" part and then a bunch of battle stages that you initiate on very basic on-rails "maps". The combat is straightforward and if you had a "normal" 5-person-type party, it would seem basic. I can't recommend that people buy this just so they can experience the part I enjoyed at the start (~30 minutes?). If you get the game for free, which I think I did somehow or other(?), then I'd say play the game for the unique starting part and then see whether you enjoy the combat.

This game is not just a good joke but actually a pretty interesting combat system as well! What if your JRPG combat was more like managing a battalion? Lots of teamup and skill synergies to explore. I got this game in a bundle a few years back but I noticed that its review score on steam wasn't great so decided that I'd buy it again to show my appreciation! The game isn't for everyone but I think it's very good execution of its premise.

I'm only a few levels in right now but everything Cannibal Interactive makes is for the real RPG sickos who turn the difficulty settings up to the highest level on their first playthrough just to feel something. Hell, I'd even go as far as to say you're not a real gamer if you can't enjoy this game. That's a skill issue on your end, buddy. There's great honest-to-god RPG classic mechanics under the hood that are so intense that my Steam Deck unfortunately handle, but it's worth every second playing to read the witty dialogue and trying to figure out which characters to focus on during each stage. I can't wait to play more.
