✦ AI summary
Players appreciate the game's solid foundation with charming characters, cohesive atmosphere, and engaging mechanics that blend autobattler, tactical, and deckbuilding systems into a rewarding roguelite experience. However, the game is held back by significant technical issues including graphical bugs that obscure rewards and UI elements, problematic hitboxes during the prep phase, and design flaws like permanently missable buffs tied to side quests and repetitive boss encounters that limit variety throughout the campaign.
I really like the game. The music and gameplay suits my taste. But the bugs that come with it done me in. The first and most important bug is if you have just pick the game up, just remember to do side quests for each act before finishing the act. Else, the perma buffs are lost forever. The visual bug make me unable to choose the rewards after fights. And finally the hitbox for using skills/items in prep phase are so bad it discourage me from continue.1 found this helpful

This game kinda has too many good ideas and not enough dedication to any of them. The problems --------------- * No idea why Deckbuilder is in the tags, there are no deckbuilding elements. You get random abilities that look like cards, but they're assigned skills that the characters use. There is no deck that you use or have any ability to shape. * The Roguelite elements are barely any better. The early game grind is really miserable, with progression points being so far apart that it took a long time for me to notice that there actually was some Roguelike gameplay. Most of the improvements that matter are locked behind resources you wont get in the early game and very few of those upgrades are persistent. Doing a full run and then losing to the boss fight at the end doesn't retain enough benefit to make the run worth the time. Items, abilities, and upgrades never carry over from runs, all you get are resources. * You can lock yourself out of things like side-quests and unlockable bonuses, and it's impossible to tell what act the side quests are found in until you actually stumble onto the side quest. * Voice acting is not good. With how few characters there are in this game, it…
Legend of the FIve Rings... I've been a big fan for 25 years. I have read the novels, played the ccg, telling stories around a rpg group... This setting deserve so much then a cheap auto-battler. Imagine a rpg like baldur with this setting! You are sitting on a rich universe. Shadowveil is meh! at best...
If you want it, get it on a sale. The concept is good, bit this games lacks variety very much. I got bored before finishing the first campaing (which consists of beating the same three bosses over and over again)
10 hours in and really enjoying it. It does take a few runs to get the hang of what everything means, but once you figure it out it is a fun game, with a good story elements and some fun synergies and mechanics to work through.
