Aside from my qualms with the interface I’d say the primary concern I have is that in some ways it isn’t very engaging. You will undoubtedly have to stay on top of what’s happening on-screen to survive, whether changing out heroes, using items, or collecting jewels, but having no more direct ability to engage in the action can feel limiting. To some degree the lack of an ability to act more directly makes it all feel more turn-based in practice and what’s on screen is just more elaborate and continuous animation. Throw in the fact that as you gain access to more characters the interface becomes more burdened and cumbersome as you try to manage your live roster and some occasional difficulty spikes and while I see an audience for this style of play it can also be a bit tough to love. Appreciating the fact that variety is the spice of life WanderjahR has a place on the system and may even find an audience with its novelty. That said, after a while the repetition of it all can begin to set in and your limits of control can become aggravating. If you’re eager to find a new take on strategy RPG gaming it may well be worth a shot, but for most gamers I’d anticipate this will be a pass.
