It gets compared to Elden Ring constantly, which makes no sense to me. Different scale, different AMBITION entirely, and yet here we are

Bref, l'ambition ne se mesure pas en kilomètres carrés
FrameKid
no entiendo por que se compara tanto con elden ring si ni siquiera busca lo mismo, la ambicion no es tener mapa gigante, es que cada turno pese, ¿alguien aca lo jugo pensando que era un mundo abierto y por eso se decepciono?

the pair up system alone carries this game harder than people give it credit for... turn based combat that actually rewards planning
roob_joe
Rewarding planning is a stretch when half the fights solve themselves once you find the one broken pair

¿A alguien más le pasó que perder una unidad para siempre dolía más que perder cualquier partida en otro juego?

Does anyone else remember losing a unit permanently and just staring at the screen for a solid minute? I did that more than once and honestly it changed how careful I played every fight after, does the permadeath still hit people the same way now

Los combates por turnos siguen ganando con calma

I had the exact same reaction the first ten hours, then the class combos clicked and turns stopped feeling identical to me

Los turnos calman, sí, pero calman tanto que a veces me dormía literal
