How it feels

A tense, atmospheric RPG with punishing turn-based combat and profound narrative choices in a ruined world.

What players say

Players praise the combat and soundtrack, but many say the story and characters fall flat, especially in the original campaign. While the Canon of Vengeance route improves the plot, some still find it lacking. A few reviewers find the game repetitive due to fetch quests and bland level design.
