the dev spent 10 years refining his idea of a tactical game and it shines through here. the scope is tight, tighter than voidspire but much much more engaging, both in terms of mechanics and story. there's just enough of a split between field exploration and combat, and the music bangs the whole time through.

combat classes and mechanics were refined immensely, though most of it centers around movement - blind restricts movements, spells require some lock down to go off for the ones on a timer, being able to decide turn order of your party greatly diversifies tactics, and diminishing how many abilities each class gets makes them feel more impactful.

i also greatly enjoyed the story in this one - it doesn't really compare to a lot of longer form rpgs because of the shorter runtime, but it expands on the creator's world touched in their previous games and really fleshes out a specific section of it. and it was really enjoyable.

if i have to give some criticsm, the difficulty is definitely a notch above most tactics game i've played. it's not the most impossible game i've ever laid my hands on, but it can feel a bit of a chore early when you don't really have any combo and fights can drag a bit on.

i'd still strongly recommend picking it up and playing it!
