I've never played PF2e before, as far as I know this is the only game to use it so far. It's seems to be a fantastic system and this game does a great job of teaching you, picked up the basics straight away. As of the game itself, presentation is simple but clean and clear, UI is easy to use and there's plenty of tooltips to explain the game. Base game is very short, 20 or so encounters with story parts in between and is capped at level 4 but the expansion doubles the length and brings you to level 8. Even buying both, still a very cheap game. Most of the value will come from replaying harder difficulties with different parties, there's a ton of classes, sub-classes and races to play as. An editor is included and the workshop already has a few extra adventures to play and some cool mods. The story and writing may not be to everyones taste but I enjoyed it, it's very Saturday morning cartoon style with plenty of 4th wall breaking TTRPG jokes. It's also pretty unimportant in a 100% combat based game and you can play the stages without story if you prefer. If you do play the story for first playthrough I'd highly recommend you use the default party as some of the dialogue won't make sense otherwise, for example one of the characters is an Orc by default and that's mentioned in the story. All in all, a great little tactics game with a ton of depth at a very reasonable price, that I believe will only get better with time, as more expansions release or the workshop fills up.

It is a great game that uses the pf2 rule set well. It's super easy to import your own tokens and build your own team. The free encounter mode is where I spend a lot of time at. If you use roll20 at all you might even feel you are in a game on there while playing this.

This game is genuinely peak, at least from a gameplay perspective. It has the smoothest gameplay experience of any CRPG I've ever played, and the controls and UI are incredibly intuitive. As far as the story goes, I think it's perfectly enjoyable considering it's a 5 dollar game. For me personally the writing really matches the feel of playing TTRPGs, including goofy dialogue and 4th wall breaks. The game is also adequately challenging on Insane difficulty, without being too harsh. I can think of two notable exceptions, but you can challenge any story fight you've completed with custom-built characters, so getting the achievement for beating all maps on Insane is pretty fair even then. Considering you get all of this for the low cost of 5 dollars, it's hard to beat. tl;dr: Extremely solid implementation of Pathfinder 2e into a CRPG, goofy but amusing story, and very low price make this an easy purchase for anyone who wants a short but fun CRPG.

Pros: - The Pathfinder 2e system translates really well to the medium of video games. The multiple actions per turn means that you can find a good round by round strategy while staying flexible, and the way feats work in PF2e allows for some really interesting builds and customization. - While the above can be attributed to the system, Dawnsbury Days itself goes the extra mile to implement the many, MANY choices available to players in Pathfinder 2e, giving you the full scope to customize your characters in any number of ways. - While the game isn't exceptionally difficult on the lower settings, it's still a decent challenge. Enemies are tough and hit hard, but they have clear strategies to defeat them (some more telegraphed than others), and the encounters that stepped away from pure combat managed to keep things interesting. - Finally, I have to commend the developers for putting in a custom encounter mode. It's a great tool to let players experiment with builds. Cons: - The writing. For the most part, the campaign's story isn't too bad. It's a straightforward save the town quest told over four chapters. There are a handful of choices that I didn't vibe with, but overall it doesn't overstay it's welcome and it doesn't try to do anything to out there. However, there is nothing more immersion breaking to me then when the characters in a game talk about game mechanics in-text. There are way too many instances where I found myself getting interested in the dialogue only for a character to have some pithy, MCU one-liner about their "Fortitude Save" or "2nd Level Spells Slots" and completely snap me out of it. - The voice-acting. I don't want to rag on this one too much. As someone who has done voice acting for a video game, I don't want to drag these actors through the mud because I know how hard this can be. That said, there were a lot of flat or disconnected deliveries during the campaign, especially from the main characters. I feel like a lot of that has to do with a lack of direction for the performances rather than a lack of talent, but I had to mention it. - The music. I hope you like the song they use for the encounters, because it's the only piece that the game uses for gameplay. Having the final boss' theme be the exact same as the first Kobolds you fight makes the whole thing feel anticlimactic. Please, if you plan on making updates to this game, find another track. - The token art. This is a small one because it's the art on the tokens isn't actually bad. The artists that did the character art did a good job. The problem is that the art direction is incongruous. It's especially bad when your enemies are done in a more classic, western RPG style while the main characters are all done in a more Anime style. It wasn't a huge deal, but it was distracting at times. In spite of my criticisms, I did have a good time with Dawnsbury Days. It's a simple, straightforward CRPG with a great system behind and a lot of heart. The presentation is rough, which is to be expected for an indie title like this, but if you can look past that, there is a really fun base here. Seriously, for $4.99, this is an easy pick-up in my book.

The best implementation of the Pathfinder 2e rules in a video game. It's not the Remastered version, but it's still very good. And there are a lot of mods and frequent updates, adding new content to the game. All for $5?
