Crimson Tactics: The Rise of The White Banner

UPD after 18 hours. I didn't read this message from developers before and now I get why this game can't work properly https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1480810/view/4330858863426814098 This game won't be ended, won't be fixed (there are a lot of different bugs, starting from bad mechanics ending just freezing the game in the middle of the fight), so finally I really not happy of wasting time further. Though the game really had great potential on my point of view, it was good try to make FFT inspired game. This game looked like a very high potential game, FFT inspired, a lot of classes, ideas, skills, passive skills. UPD after developers answer. Game needs some improvements, QOL (like if you hold the button, choose not one item, aim should be reworked as now it works badly, a bit earlier start of all functions, game features as for several hours you can't do anything except story line). Graphic style is good, classes looks good, variety of skills looks interesting on the first view. If developers won't drop it - it can be very good FFT inspired game.

This is an incomplete copycat of" Arbiter: The fel seal(don't remember the exact grammar, but with that you will 100% find it) The original is indeed complete, is a nice story, doesn't force characters down your throat, doesn't make weird mixes ( japanese warriors in an medieval setting...) I mean if you don't have anything but, is a way to pass the time, but what a letdown that the story is not finished. the combat pace is honestly one of the best in the genre (the fel seal is overwelhemly superior) but its very similar. The mechanics of limited rounds to resurrect your units is great, as well as the undead returning if you don't use holy water, those 2 features were awesome tbh, and are originals of Crimson Tactics (not in the fel seal) the mechanic of having up to 3 deaths to permadeath a unit, without some mechanism to recover loyalty, is too punishing. This is also an original feature. Pretty much the rest, copycat of Arbiter:the fel seal. nd I mean EVERYTHING. The classes system , the whole UI, The progression system , the core of the combat pace, the terrains..It seems more like a mod inspired by the fel seal. I mean, I believe that formula was great, and deserves to be re…

IDK what is up with this game, pretty early on it goes from a normal balanced fight to taking 2 hits to kill my people and nearly 5x that for me to kill theirs. I changed difficulty and turned off the auto difficulty thing, but its back to the same. Im the same level as the enemy, i got the best gear available, and im doing 30ish points damage and they are doing 70+. right before that the game kinda broke and i had to go back a few hours to get back to where i was, but seems to be lacking balance and unplayable for me. Otherwise, seems like a good mix of tactics orge and FF tactics.

I have been following this game for a long time and Im glad I decided to give it a go now. After so many updates and patches, it seems like the devs has fixed a lot of the things that some people complained about. Also, adding mounts and more things to the game. I like the music and the story, if you are undecided about buying this game or had reservations about it in the past, it may be worth to give it a go now. here you can check my gameplay of the game---> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybvXJh2SLyc

I tend to play offline hence my low hour count but will leave this positive review for now until I come back and do a full one.

Growing up with tactics ogre KOL, and final fantasy tactics A1 and A2, it's great to see a game that's clearly made by fans of these games.
