No issues on PC! Nice job, id.

I somehow unlocked all the achievements.

Really good

This was made for fans of JRPGs in the 90s. It's probably one of the best one of those I've played as well.

I wouldn't change a thing.

10/10

Crazy that a game this good is this cheap.

Best narrative in 2019

Addictive!

It's like One Finger Death Punch, 80s arcade style. Click the left mouse button to attack left, right mouse button to attack right. Get high scores. Soundtrack is good.

It was better than I expected

It's Oregon Trail + Final Fantasy Tactics lite. The combat seems pretty simple on the surface, but they way they use Armor and Strength is neat. A unit's Strength is effectively their HP, and the damage a unit can do is Strength - Armor. If a unit's Strength < opponent's Armor, they have a (Armor - Strength)*10% chance to miss completely. If you ignore armor and go for strength attacks, you run the risk of missing with your weaker characters, but if you only focus on armor, they can do more damage to you on their turn.

Between fights, you're on an oregon trail style adventure after the invasion of your village by Dredge, a race of heavily armored people from the north. They're the main antagonists of the game, forcing the main characters to flee from city to city looking for refuge. The number of supplies you have determine how many days you can travel before your clansmen and warriors begin to die. In addition, the longer you travel, the worse your clan's morale gets, meaning you have to balance supplies with camping and resting. Various dialog and story events play a part in the number of clansmen you lose or gain if they decide to join your caravan.

The story mainly revolves around a hunter named Rook, who falls into the leadership role in a caravan of refugees. You and the other characters are attempting to find refuge between two separate apocalyptic events and a horde of invading warriors. Similar to Game of Thrones, the story is barely ever not dark, but it fits the tone of the world. You're not on a quest to save the planet, you're just trying to get your people to safety.

Only downside is that it lacks closure on some of the bigger story elements. Looking forward to the sequel.
