Really good game. Turnbased strategy. REally enjoyable. units level up. Lots of tactics. But its tough: High cost for units that die to come back. And the lightning monster far too OP. Still worth it for such a decent price.

Overall it's a good game : [*]interesting, deep gameplay [*]nice, atmospheric music [*]absolutely awesome graphics Buuut it has its flaws: [*]The UI is a mess... it shouldn't be this much of a hassle to make your pieces do what you want them to do... [*]Most battlefield elements, mainly units in the same row, are standing so close to each other that it sometimes takes some moments more than necessary to precisely point at the one you want to. It slows down the process, and yes I know it's a chess variant and therefore it's expected to be slow... but being slow should only apply to the part where you think/strategize, not the part where you carry out orders. There's a button for an alternative top-down view on the battlefield where you can see the individual units much better, tell them apart, and tell which is which... but you can't play in that view; it's just for overview and nothing else... You have to play in the standard view where units obscure the units behind them, especially if the units in front are large and/or towering like e.g. bosses. [*]Also, I don't really understand why it's not possible to click on a unit and then click either on an empty space in range to make it move there without selecting the move action from a drop-down menu, or click on a target in range to make an attack without selecting the attack action from the drop-down menu. You have to click more often than necessary and that feels clunky . [*]Again, regarding the bad UI: Some essential information (about units or items, that veterans might know, but newcomers certainly don't) are hidden deep in context menus which is fine outside of combat... but you can't access certain menus during combat. So, newbies and/or people who can't read kanji have no idea what certain items and other elements do and also have no way to look it up in-game during combat. Also, aside from getting hit in the face by them or memorizing them from earlier battles, I had a hard time finding out how enemy units move and what their skills are. If there is a way, I didn't find it, because it's somewhere buried in the lackluster UI. [*]The tutorial does a poor job of explaining anything but the basics, so you have to figure out the strategic and tactical nuances on your own... which is essential for realizing that this game is actually really good . Can't say it often enough: This is a good game . It has flaws, but those can be coped with. It's important to remind yourself that Chinese players most probably won't have the problems I had, because what are only pretty pictures to me are meaningful signs to them, signs that probably explain most or even everything I thought was missing. The language barrier is mostly the only reason for the game's drawbacks . Due to the mediocre translation the dialogue is weird and the tutorial is partially hard to make sense of, but knowing that doesn't affect the game's quality. In essence, it's a good game.
