Lost In Fantaland

Cute for an evening or two, grab it on sale, but don't pay full price. References to Final Fantasy Tactics or even Into the Breach are implied ... yeah ... This is a fun project; "Surprised Pikachu Face" is literally mentioned in the dialogue. The RNG is all over the place, making it often times frustrating when you enter a board with a predestined defeat. I feel like trying to diminish my incapability instead of empowering myself. I love the concept. This could be something if the devs would take it seriously and not hide behind a wall of excuses and tropes.

As someone who loved FFTA i love this game. Fun, challenging, fair. not going to go into a big thing about it but im having a great time playing and i recommend it to anyone that likes turn based, deck builders or slay the spire type games.

If Slay the Spire was a tactics RPG, but maybe not as good. It's very unapologetic about it at that, It's an alright game, but i wouldn't get it for the normal price, even the current sale price I personally wouldn't get it. I'll start with the positives: I like the art style, it's very FF and FE-like which I personally enjoy, I like the tile system, but I'm a sucker for it since I've grown up with older tactics RPG. the animations are cool and I like the design of the enemies and using the traps on the battlefield to my advantage, also major plus that you can rotate the field to get a better view of what's going on. a basic feature most games like this have, I just wasn't expecting it for a game with pixel art is all, so It's nice. I like the Battle Ui, It's very clean, though I think the map is a little too basic, but overall it's nice. now for some things that I didn't really like: The wording for card and artifacts descriptions are oddly written, as if trying too hard to explain what things do or how they work, It's not very concise which irked me, sometimes I'd have to re-read something because it didn't immediately make sense or was unnecessary to explain. nit pick…

Very mixed on the game, but ultimately decided to not recommend. My biggest complaint is the game feels bland. There are plenty of cards, items, and artifacts, but none of them make me go "oh ♥♥♥♥ that's awesome". Even the isekai plot, which could've been fun, disappears after the tutorial.

nice crossover of roguelite & tactical RPG, a few UX issues and narration is on the light side, but otherwise the gameplay is solid for a few runs. Very good purchase for the asked price

A little short but good, wish there was more such as more subclasses, alternative level etc. Picked it up on sale & regular price isn't too bad anyways. Would recommend, it was fun
