The tactical combat system is unique and complex while also being easy to understand, expertly blending mechanics from many of its peers with smart new additions of its own. The interesting terrain across the continent of Fevrith makes every fight feel unique, with some of the best map gimmicks I’ve seen in any strategy RPG. Because the campaign is told through the eyes of a diverse and creative cast, its trope-filled fantasy story is elevated in a way that a more traditional storytelling style wouldn’t manage. The shorter, more personal stories work wonderfully to support a loop of exploration and liberation that had me begging to see one more tale told, one more town rebuilt, and one more battle fought.”If you (like me) are interested in becoming part of the current PC handheld revolution, check out the great Black Friday deals on various PC handhelds, and be sure to visit our hefty hubs for every major outlet’s Black Friday offerings.There are tons of Black Friday Amazon deals already available, not to mention the best Walmart deals, Target sales, and Best Buy deals, too.
