The game is very polarizing, but a real gem if given a shot. It's got a rough start which makes it look more unforgiving than it really is, but if you play in Normal it quickly stops being a problem due to your options broadening and letting you control the fights more. Timed missions are common, but rarely lead to major consequence- usually you can just keep fighting without headaches. It does a great job at capturing the fairy tale atmosphere, the aesthetics are campy and great- and gameplay has an element of uncertainty and threat during fights that makes victory very satisfying. It's also really not a puzzle game at all, in fact it's ripe with different viable approaches within the limits of its cast. The story is passable, but the writing is terrible. There really should've been someone reading the script and making sure it was tonally coherent because you can't have people whose expletives are "Bloody roots!" and "Oh, seeds of the forest" at the same time as others call someone a b*tch (it happens often). Overall if one engages with the systems of the game it's a very rewarding experience. There are new enemies and environments with cool mechanics being introduced until the end, and while there are only 35 missions, I could see other games stretching all those unique ideas a lot more. PS: The Incurable has the key. The reward is really worth the drawbacks.

I won't go into describing the game much—you can see that from the videos. But I wanted to say this: The other day, I read a sentence from one of the reviewers saying, "If you are on the fence with this one, don't be." Prior to reading that, I was, and man, after 6 hours of gameplay, I know what he meant. 1. I like turn-based games very much, but paradoxically, I don't consider myself to be very good at them. I usually just end up reloading botched missions, learning from my mistakes sooner or later. 2. I was afraid that this game would be really punishing, for all the reactions like, "Every move matters. Everything is a puzzle." etc. 3. I usually hate timed goals. The truth is that I had to repeat missions once or twice (sometimes three or four times), and despite that, I didn't feel the game was punishing. I knew instantly what my mistakes were, when I had made some, and I could've learned from those quickly. The more skilled and better equipped your characters get in between the missions, the more space there is for various approaches to the same battle. Don't listen to people saying negative stuff like there isn't because that'd be a bitter exaggeration. Sometimes it's very tight, sometimes you are given a free reign, sometimes it's something completely different. Also, the game's neatly paced in this regard and neither mission feels the same. Last but not least, even though at least 1/3 of the missions were timed, I was able to finish them even with the bonus goals, not ending up feeling frustrated. Yeah, don't be on the fence with this one.

Fantasy RPG. Not too long. Turn-based tactic and some puzzles. Relaxing (on easy), pleasant music, sound and art. Story is good enough. Overall quality game. Recommended.

One of the best turn-based crpg's I've played in awhile. Each move you make has consequences, and one wrong move can doom the whole battle. Everything has to be taken into account to hit all of your objectives - environment, traps, efficiency of movement, time limit, reinforcements, etc... Use traps, gates, and exploding items against your enemies before they use them on you... Reminds me of Blackguards but with a more lighthearted atmosphere. Highly recommend if you enjoy turn-based combat and putting careful thought into each move, kind of like chess.

Pros A most unique RPG Strategy Roguelite puzzle game. Ton of scenarios, Fun little story and quest line, beautiful world map and interesting battle maps. Over all great game. Cons If this your first go at a strategy rpg, this one maybe a bit much. But I'm sure there are walkthru's for the more determined. (I'm guessing it shouldn't be a problem on easy difficulty for the casual gamer) The Character portraits kinda feel like they don't match the rest of the games visuals, if that make any sense.
