Subscription only?

Paying $14 a month to play a game isn’t happening. A larger single purchase to play would be fine… but I don’t have a Crunchyroll sub. I LOVE tactics games and the IP has always been awesome. I got real excited to try this, but I’m locked out. Not a fan of that.

Straight trash

an RPG with trash graphics and slow game play, just not my type of game personally.

Very mid game

It’s fun to play if you are very very bored and like tactic games( the tutorial is confusing )

Lots of bugs, but fun.

Decent port of the game. All the bad reviews about save issues are mostly no longer relevant, this issue has been worked on. Don’t quit the game while it is saving or loading; try to go to the title screen before closing if possible. Been playing this game a ton, there are a decent number of problems though.

Sometimes the game will lose track of Marcos determination count or if you load a save it will give you extra actions. If you close the game while the loading screen is showing the save will corrupt and you’ll need to redownload it. The game doesn’t do well loading from a game that isn’t closed correctly and the true ending is not possible because it doesn’t keep track of progress correctly.

Fun overall but can’t be 100% completed in current state.

Great port of the game. All the bad reviews about save issues are no longer relevant, this issue has been fixed. Been playing this game a ton, very few bugs.
