Curiosity got me the moment it arrived and I spent well more than an hour and a half drinking post-lunch tea while digging into the prologue and beginning of first chapter of this game. I like the collection of animation styles being used and the moment the first tutorial battle began, I fell into an old school late-90s nostalgia trance and just ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Tactics on a grid.
Am amused at how the developers incorporated a more immersive feeling with the graphics, and what can be done when today’s game dev tools are used to upgrade/remix a familiar old genre from the good old days — those days of pixel-painted backgrounds, isometric battlefield graphics, and animated sprites. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh. so much chill-out goodness.
