Picked this game<\/a> up around the same time as Gordian Quest<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s more of a conventional tactical RPG with multiple storyline campaigns (featuring branching options) along with a randomized campaign function. That said, it also has a roguelike feature in the ‘legacy’ system. Basically, every time you clear a campaign the heroes used get saved and you can upgrade their ranks. Then you can re-use those heroes in legacy campaigns (storyline campaigns apparently require making new characters).<\/p>\n

The storytelling and questing aspects are extremely well done (if a bit odd in their comic panel presentation) while the combat is perhaps unfortunately a little simplistic with only three classes to choose from. I do like how the mystics can interact with the terrain though. That was an inventive touch.<\/p>\n

Basically what it comes down to is if you’re in it for the roleplaying then this game has quite a bit to offer you. If you’re looking for tactical complexity however you’d be better off looking someplace else. It may also be wise for those with a strong aversion to time limits to avoid, as time plays a fairly large role here… though I personally didn’t fine it onerous.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
