“Super good game with a lot of content and customization for people who love X-COM. Story is great, music is great, characters are great... what else do you need?”
“Plays like an xcom 2, looks like final fantasy. An amazing game. Only downside is that I just found out about it instead of 6 years ago. Highly recommend if youre a fan of turn based combat. Hit percentages actually…”
“What a game! It's rare to get such creativity and thoughtful storytelling combined with really exciting turn based gameplay, especially from such a small indie team on their very first creation. QUICK REVIEW: _ Turn…”

“Amazing so far, only 8 or so hours in and I keep unlocking additional content. It's anime xcom 2 but the scale of battles is quite abit larger from my experience. Difficulty is good, variety of characters is great, no…”

“[h3]Overview[/h3] Solid game made with love and dedication. My favorite part of the game is the power system, Masteries. It's extremely deep and allows for a huge amount of customization. I'll spend the rest of my…”
“The best turn based strategy game i have ever played. I heard this game was so underrated and it really is. The game is quite grindy but that's what i love about it and the content in the game is a lot. I can see myself…”

“I'm glad I bought this. like really glad. when i saw someone say they sunk about 300 hours into it (as a complaint against the game) I had to try it. if I can get 300+ hours for less than 10 bucks i'm down. The game has…”

“87 / 100 - Better than all XCOMs? (in most regards, yes) Easily in Top 5 Best TRPG / SRPG - Hours 0-15 = Too easy, a little slow / grindy, convoluted menus / direction. - Hours 16-40 = Difficulty increases, mechanics &…”
“It is an okay game, I would recommend to try it. But no comparison to x-com: no tension, no tactics, no entering buildings, no breakable surroundings, if you keep your team members together here, you will just blow away…”
“I've played this game for 22.5 hours and it still feels like it's just getting started. The story is really generic and completely unengaging, with the translation also leaving things to be desired a lot of the time.…”

“TLDR: XCOM but an Anime JRPG. Simple, easy to digest linear story with a variety of cool characters. Large amount of mechanics and systems to optimize, and some surprisingly high in depth. Very high content-to-price ratio. Some grinding may be necessary if you want to do every…”

You will have a lot of gameplay here, and people who enjoy the SRPG genre or come from the XCOM universe will feel at home. While the story is not the most unique or original, you…”
— a player, Steam review · 60 hrs played“Incredibly deep and interesting game. My only regret is that I only "recently" discovered it, but at least less time for me to wait for the second chapter! The system is incredible, deep and with so many systems that it's a steal for the price. The masteries system is super…”
