About The Simple Balance

The only way out is the way through this world.

In search of a seemingly superior opponent, make decisions that not only change the course of the game but also yourself.
Note: This game is currently in beta pahse and is still in develeopment.

Tactical turn-based battles on challenging terrain are the heart of the game. Deploying your units in a well-planned formation will help you draw the line of battle along the terrain to your advantage.

The journey

Get supported by other characters who are helping you to beat the enemies along your way. Each brings his or her own flaws and characteristics to the table, which may be helpful, harmful, or just funny in themselves.

Turnbased isometric tactics

Battles take place in a 3D environment where the higher ground is just as important as blocking paths or hiding from range weapons.
Having trained your troops in a proper variety of jobs and equipping them with specialized abilities will make the difference in a fight. Balance your troops and find the best mix of physical fighters and magical support.

Class-System

Throughout the game, your teammates and the mercenary you recruit will be able to learn different Job classes and gain new abilities that way. Depending on the professions you choose, your characters will gain different qualities. A set of over 200 abilities is available for you to learn and use in battle. Choose wisely to form mediocre 'all-rounders' or to form units into experts in one profession. Each path you can take has its advantages and disadvantages.

Dragon Knights

The path of your journey will be blocked by evil guys and monsters. The court guard of the villain knows fighters, rangers, and mages of any kind. They are supported by evil souls creatures that will execute any of their commands. The Dragon Knights are the bodyguards of the game's villain. The army of soulless henchmen armed with weapons of war, stuffed into shiny armor, flooding the land like a plague.

Could be a good game if the bugs, spelling and grammar are fixed. Many classes have no skills to learn and counterattack ability doesn't work. These are just the first few thing I've noticed within the first few hours of playing.

The game has a lot of potential if the dev sticks it out and works on some fixes for abilities not working properly, and black screens. At the moment i cannot recommend for the price tag.

"The Simple Balance" caught my eye but sadly didn't meet expectations. Crashes,Black screen's, skills not working and game mechanics being "clunky" are a few things I can list in my short playtime. Will check back in the future after a few updates.

It is still very much in early access stages and the translation is rough. However, it is a wonderful combination of Tactics Advanced 2 and Dark Cloud 2. If you are looking for a game to give you a nostalgic feel and graphics then I would strongly recommend getting this game to support the developers in cleaning it up. There is a lot of potential for a great game once they fix the dialogue and flush out the story.

Great potential, but too buggy, too many translation errors in the script, too many errors in the game play and battle system. I wonder if they had an alpha or beta testers or if they just released a game. The studio has almost no online presence and I could not find any information on this game except from crappy game journalists announcing the game just trying to get clicks. No indication that the bugs will be addressed. No schedule for updates. No interaction with social media. First time I've ever gotten a refund from steam.

Game is broken. I was hoping they fixed it since they dumped their garbage onto the steam store. But its still barely a game with broken / skills that do nothing, enemies that fly off the screen, enemies that stay dead if you restart a battle. Why is this even released.
