Absolute Tactics: Daughters of Mercy

Game is kinda meh overall. Only reason i beat it was because i like turn based games and was playing it on steam deck, slowly. 3 good things about the game: -class system (you can combine 2 classes per character, which allows for all sorts of combinations) -gear system (most items can be used on any character, except for the named unique items which are very few. This means you can mix classes even further by making a high skill damage but also somewhat tanky character) -hidden unique ability for each character based on specific criteria to obtain it, some of them are game changers but are also given to you too late in the game 3 bad things about the game: -story (boring) -mission length (it increases as you progress further into the game, also optional missions are more or less required to be done to level up and to be on par with main story lvl requirement, you can still do missions underleveled, but you will be less efficient in combat) -boss battles are boring (most of them rely on the same dragon bomb spam ability, running around in circles to destroy crystals, too repetitive...) I would give this game a 6/10. So thats a positive score, but a small one at that.

Finished the Game in hard mode without doing any of the side quests, it was fun but so unnecessarily painful.

nice simple turn based jrpg game. i do recommend on DEEP discount

I am enjoying Absolute Tactics so far. There's a good variety of enemies and abilities. Boss fights and wars keep it interesting

Each character can have dual classes which seems interesting and provides some nice variety. I enjoy the art style and there's nice variety in levels so far. The writing could use a little work, but overall I'm playing more for the gameplay than the story so its been an enjoyable experience.
