Very cool tactical crpg! Kinda simple in some aspects but strong in tactical terms without flaws (cover etc.) or unexpected moves by AI. Better a simplier combat system that works than a more complicated one that doesn't. Beautiful to look at with a distinct ambience, good sounds and music, so overall very entertaining 34 hours it took me to complete the game.

Compared to Mutant Year Zero, the story and depth of characters is bit flat. The world is intriguing, the characters have some wit, and the tactical fighting, focused on more silent ambushes is a good challenge. A fun 20 so hours, but buy it on a sale. ***Update after 20+ hours: cannot put the controller down. The challenge of stealth/silent attack, and changing the combo of your skills, weapons, and consumables based on the enemy is addicting. Still not super bought in the the characters, but I want DLC, and I want more games from this team and developers!

April 2024

Easily recommended for fans of squad tactics and turn-based RPGs. Combine Fallout, Control, and XCOM and you would have something like this game. I could also recommend Mutant Year Zero and Wasteland 3. +Visuals, cutscenes, environments +Variety of options for game, difficulty, keybinds +Fully voiced +Atmosphere, exploration +Tactical battles +Variety of skills/options on level up +Save anywhere +Characters, story +Miasma powers +Variety of weapons, upgrades -Some clunkiness -Constant hold to run, no toggle -Can't name saves -No mini/map -Many items/pickups easily missable -Awkward battle camera rotation -Very short range on most weapons -Bounce weapons don't work from elevation

April 2024

Overall 8.5/10 - Recommended Story / Plot - 5.5/10, the story was a bit slow and didn't really hold my interest after the early part of the game. The story unfolds very slowly and by the end you are focused more on finishing the game than uncovering what's left of the story. Combat - 9/10 - this is what you'll spend most of your time in the game doing. The combat plays very similar to XCOM 2 with the standard move, shoot, and overlook options for most characters. There's some limited melee options with 2 of the characters that can be very powerful when used properly. There is also a cover systems (half and full), high ground, and explosive barrels you can shoot to damaage foes. Graphics - 9/10, this game will make good use of your high end CPU and graphics card Sound/Voice - 10/10, most of the characters have professional quality voices and the sound and sound effects are very good overall. I didn't turn on the music, so I can't speak to that. Bonus Points for Developer Name: The Bearded Ladies

Miasma Chronicles is an underrated gem of Tactical RPG genre. It deserves much better reception than it initially got. Its very similiar to Mutant Year Zero, which was a previous game from these devs. It merges elements of stealth, tactics and RPG in interesting ways. I actually think Miasma Chronicles is a better game than Mutant Year Zero, which makes the fact that its so underrated even more disappointing. Devs expanded all mechanics present in their previous game and managed to craft an interesting post-apocalyptic world. Characters and story are rather simple but likeable with enjoyably cheesy voice acting and fun twists along the way. Graphically Miasma Chronicles is quite a looker, for a game using isometric perspective. Environments are richly detailed and well designed, with many tactical options available. Particle effects are especially stunning! Performance wise its quite demanding and requires a decent rig or lowering of graphical settings. I was playing on Extreme difficulty and found gameplay to be pretty challenging. Every encounter required I "thin the herd" using stealth, before engaging in open combat. Fortunately, stealth has extra depth due to introduction of sound lures, used to separate enemies from groups. Stealth is well balanced as the number of silent weapons is very limited and you'll be only able to kill low tier enemies in stealth. When detected by enemies, combat switches to regular XCOM-style affair. Fortunately, its has more depth as each character is highly customizable via itemization and skill trees. I quite liked the skills available and the fact you could freely respec each character at any time. It made me micro-manage my squad depending on the type of enemies I was fighting. I had no expectations for Miasma Chronicles, but I'm happy to say that its a great tactical RPG and manages to stand out in the sea of XCOM clones. Its strange it was so under-marketed, considering the pedigree of the developers and high quality of the final product. I really hope it manages to find its audience and we get to see the sequel, as the story goes in interesting directions, but feels like just the beginning of a bigger saga.
