In another world, this would be Fire Emblem, instead of the horned up dating simulator it has become. It's even directed by an old Fire Emblem hand, who made the darkest versions of the game.

It's am ambitious title, and the first tactics game done by this indie team. Very similar to the Nintendo series it's adjacent to, but with mechanics that reinforce the idea of a small band of heroes fighting an army. Characters lend aid, or combo with each other, based on proximity, builds, and who has taken their turn first. It leads to a feeling that this small group of people could, with skill and teamwork, beat much larger armies.

The music is great. The tone is unrepentant in its darkness. The story is simplistic, but it gets the job done for our small band to find themselves in increasingly difficult and more cinematic battles.

This indie title deserves better success.
