Explore and conquer Great Serpent Alvora with your own customizable band of warriors!” I'm not sure how to review this so let's get it started. I spent roughly 9 hours if not more trying to get 1 achievement. I enjoyed myself it's been a while since I played any tactics game of this sort. The music was good, the story wasn't amazing but it was a story. Apparently it's set in a world that the designers created in the past. I could be wrong about that but in any case this game was interesting. Little puzzles, here and there, you can interact with the environment and manipulate the battlefield. Some classes help you with the puzzles, getting additional items, etc. Money in the beginning was super super tight. But within time you kind of find some goods, and looping is helpful. Each boss had it's on play style which was fun, and (spoilers) the game may have more at the end. Overall this was an enjoyable game. For the price and if it's on sale it was completely worth it. “Combine 10 …

Random small indie dev no one's ever heard of punches way above their weight unexpectedly makes a great game. This has the kind of intuitiveness that something like Fire Emblem has and which few tactical rpgs manage to do so well, while also having decent depth and variety of character building options. If there's one minor criticism it's that the room layouts and setups become very similar and recognizable after just a few runs, sort of undermining the proc gen aspect to the game. Not a big deal since the small variations allow for enough to make the occasional grind less repetitive. Also why is the music so good?

It feels like this series was evolving from Voidspire to Horizon's gate, but then regressed with this game. It almost seems pre-Voidspire. The world expanded into Horizon's Gate (with it's towns, dungeons, different mechanics, exploration and classes) and then suddenly became claustrophobic (you can't walk around town, classes are reduced etc.). It may have been trying to fulfil a different space than Horizon's Gate but if it is, Voidspire is already in that space and fulfilling it much better. It is also a shame they changed the music (which gets tedious quite quickly almost like constant Final Fantasy battle music). I read the reviews and thought I'd give this game the benefit of the doubt and try it but it just isn't engaging.

More combat-focused than Voidspire Tactics, also very good.

Little too short, but still fun.

Short, but deep. Good game.
