Well this came out of absolutely nowhere. I haven't played any Airship Syndicate titles before, but they clearly know how to make a party based RPG. Being a League fan isn't required, I've never played a minute of it in my life.

It's all here. Eye-popping art design, gorgeous isometric levels and backdrops, a combat system that really starts to click the more you play, an ability system that gets more awesome as you progress and rewards experimentation, cleverly engaging map design that richly rewards exploration, awesome boss fights, I could go on.

The voice acting is superb, with the characters playing out an intense, engaging story with lots of fun side quests to stumble upon. There's a lot of character specific weapons and armor to find, as well as trinkets and neck pieces which can be used universally amongst all characters. You will meet more and more characters along the way, with each one adding their own unique role and abilities to your troupe. Combat parties are limited to groups of 3 however, so mixing up your party for synergy becomes important.

The game isn't without flaws. The quest marker system can be glitchy at times, and fast travel opportunities aren't super common, so expect to run a lot.

If you're a fan of party based RPGs in any way then you need to get this game. An absolute gem for $30.
