I was really hopeful after all the comparisons to FF Tactics and tactics ogre, but I simply don't enjoy the gameplay.

My issues were:

1. There is no zone of control in combat, and there is no line of sight. I really like TACTICAL RPGs, and in the traditional sense I don't find this game to be. Perhaps late game there are better options for control, but the ability to form a defensive line, use high ground etc felt very limited. You're basically just running around, blasting people uphill or through rocks, and constantly dancing with enemies to strike from behind. The tactics felt absent, and I can't imagine actual combat in any situation ever playing out as it does in this game.

2. graphics are at odds with each other. Level design is gorgeous, but the models seem like awkward jrpg sprites, which don't match with the character cards. If it weren't for issue 1, I could overlook this, but the combination is just continuously disruptive.

If you're going to buy it, get it on sale in case you find these issues really frustrating as I did
