Forged of Blood

Completion time: 33 hours I enjoyed this game a lot. The writing is good, the strategy is solid, the atmosphere works well, and the spell options have very deep customization. The rulership style system adds a lot to the proceedings. I will say, the level of micromanagement in terms of gear etc is unparalleled. I guess there are those who would consider that a good thing, but for me it went way beyond what I was up for. Still, that's not a dealbreaker. Give it a look. As an afterthought, I encountered no bugs at all. I'm not saying there are none, but in a full run I didn't see any.

Sluggish, poor UI, confusing. I can see some interesting promise in the combat, but it's just not fun. The developers don't even know how to handle basic things like movement of the camera. It's all more complex and fiddly than it needs to be.

All the characters look the same

A bit rough. A good buy with at least 50% off, if you're looking for a turn based game.

For all lovers of turn based tactical games this is a gem in the rough. Sure it has some rough edges, but it has a reasonable story, medium to complex mechanics, some of which are unique, and is engaging. I would recommend, especially if you can get it on sale.

Games a bit challenging but I like to play it.
