Dramatic Road : the origin of wind

I am more hype for the official release of Dramatic Road than the next super robot wars entry especially when the story closed with a cliff-hanger (again in Blue octave also). As with the gameplay improvement in latest patch, I don't regret support the Early Access. My playtime currently is 30hours, times used to level up or unlock lapel pin after completing story is not added, so you can decide whether to purchase based on how much content the asking price is worth. Dramatic road has the difficulty level similar to those of old school SRW games but without flashy robot animations. Game isn't hard but you can't just move point A to B mindlessly to blow up enemies. There's flyer (wing glider), cavalry (motorcycle), mage, healer, pitcher (archer), buffer (latest patch), dancer, construction worker (make sandbag terrain), boxer and the class are all unique and serve a different purpose. Though I would say construction worker is the most pointless for altering terrain because it doesn't affect the game much. Thankfully with the latest patch, the construction worker became a defence tank. Boxer has low movement range compared to motorcycle, before boxer even reach the enemy they are dea…

Absolutely charming. I've taken to referring to Dramatic Road as "Motorcycle Fire Emblem", a moniker that's not entirely accurate but does get the point across. To be honest it feels more like a Super Robot Wars game in terms of pacing and unit durability, but the unit design in terms of class feels along the lines of FE. The English translation's a little rough but if you have a fondness for bootleg anime subs or the fan translation scene the stilted dialogue and typos are fun and comforting. Overall just a really solid SRPG and an example of the genre I'd love to see more like.

An enjoyable turn-based tactical game set in the modern era. Classes are tied to Japanese high school clubs - sports, hobbyist clubs like motorcycles and backpacking, so on. Classes are generally fairly unique, though they sometimes share abilities, and individuals of the same class may have varying techniques. I don't know if character stat gains are randomized or not - poor stat gains are offset anyway by special techniques. You can equip various items that boost stats and use points gained from leveling to purchase or improve various techniques / special attacks, thus allowing some customization. Special techniques have base power levels baked into them that increase as you level them up. The shift change mechanic allows you to swap a current character's turn for another's, thus allowing you to adjust initiative on the fly and adjust tactics based on the situation. It also keeps slow-moving, low-initiative units relevant, as these types of units often get left in the dust in most tactical games. The graphics are attractive and exactly what I would expect for this style of game, especially for an indie developer. There are no zoomed-in battle sequence animations such as in Fi…

A very indie cool simulation RPG based on school themed I browse out of nowhere and found it on the Steam Store. It immediately caught my attention and bought it without any hesitation. Finished the game and achieved full 100% achievements on Update 0.98.0. Definitely please try out the Demo! Turns out it was very fun and it got me addicted to keep farming all of the characters and extra accessories to their fullest potential. The story is actually decent, especially Stage 2 onwards. The characters are actually well designed and viable in the gameplay as long you keep leveling them up. Very unique type of classes like Rider, Biker and many more so you can try it all out and see what suits your playstyle. Difficulty wise seems just right, I do not have any issues so far but you can use Rewind Action to reverse back your mistakes. The English localization is actually good and I do not see any issues so far with it. I actually love the artwork of this game and the graphics are good and simple. Please do give any feedback to developer! I browsed around the developer's website and turns out there are some old works of his that deserved to give a chance to try it out. Even tried out h…
