✦ AI summary

Vanaris Tactics - Prologue is a competently made pixel art turn-based tactics RPG with decent writing and solid execution that meets genre expectations, though players find its transitions slow and unskippable. The main criticism is that it feels unremarkable compared to standout titles in the genre and offers little that's original, while the prologue itself is so brief that it leaves potential buyers uncertain about whether the full game will justify the investment.

Drawbacks: - too long transitions effects - no option to skip the transitions - fast mode of combat is way too slow Pro: everything we can expect of a TRPG published after FFT. Vanaris Tactivs is a legit TRPG: it's solid and pretty looking enough, the story is decent writing with nice narative tension. But the best TRPG games with endless replay value that i've played on steam are Symphony of War, Wintermoor Tactics Club, Fell Seal, C.A.R.D.S RPG, or Lost in Fantasyland. There are already many other 'fine, but lesser' TRPGs on Steam. And, while playing this game, Vanaris Tactics Prologue, I haven't experienced anything that's original or more pleasant than my references games, some of which have almost endless erplay value, I have no reason to want to buy the full version. But it will depend of whether they will impove the negative point I mentioned, or add original gameplay elements. Maybe character recruitment in combat, or, crafting, or relationship interaction in the gameplay, etc. Vanaris would have ot add something very original to convince me to buy its full version and let us know in the description or in the videos. Something that I haven't found in the Prologue.…

This was way too short to know if it was worth playing. If this is a prologue, how short is the whole game? I would like to have seen more; because I was considering getting this one. Such the shame.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
