This is an amazing DnD-like experience from your PC. You can play this solo, of course, but the more friends you bring the better. The stories this game generates are fantastic and easy to follow, but also deep, meaningful and affecting. The choices your group decides upon can affect the whole campaigns, the way your character looks and even combat. Its an amazing indie gem and i cant wait to see what they come up with next. 10/10.

This is a combination of storybook adventure, adding player input along the way, and a tabletop strategy game. Very creative way to follow adventurers for years of their lives, leveling up, engaging in relationships, as well as gaining various fiefdoms, with material income, to produce gear. It isn't an action game, but it is surely closer to "Roleplaying", than any other game on the market today.

The game is "lovely" and it reminds me of some good old pen and paper evenings. It even gave e some nice ideas for an upcoming campaign. The turn based combat is interesting, but lacks strategy options after some time. This was so far compensated by events that gave my heroes special abilities and changed their fighting style dramatically. For instance, my ranger became a fire hurdling wizard and my mystic became a staff swinging druid-fighter. Nice :) The music is very good, BUT it lacks variety and always has a melancholic undertone. Already in the second campaign I had to disable it. I clicked faster and faster trough the very nicely done comics until i realized that i simply could not stand to hear to same bitter-sweet song for the 70th time. It would have been simple for the devs to add three folders for sad/joyful/neutral songs, where players can copy their own favorite songs. I really emphasize on the music and its lack of variety, because I almost stopped playing the game until I realized I hated to hear the same song again and again and again. Now I have my favorite Pen and Paper songs running in the background and the game really shines.

This Game! This game is genuinely so amazing, from the amazing and unique art style, to the exciting and strategic combat, to the personal growth and attachment you get the the characters, this game has it all. If you are a huge fan of diving into a world and losing yourself and growing a real personal attachment to the dynamic narratives (THAT YOU GET TO DECIDE BTW) then this game is for you!

This is perhaps the only rpg with a squad that you control (instead of just a single main character) where I knew what sort of person each character was fairly quickly. There was the distrustful fighter, the rogue who couldn't take a thing seriously and the wizard who just wanted to survive. And that was just my first game. What's mentioned is that you can then bring them back, they become the stories people tell. Discovering that warrior trapped in a tapestry in a later campaign with a completely different party was fantastic. The combat is nice and straightforward, but has a system with some complexity backing it up. Losing a character is hard, but the loss is incorporated into the story. The procedural generation is great. And there a plenty of mods for when you've exhausted the base game, including at least one full fledged campaign. I hardly ever write reviews and this game barely needs another, but it showed up in the turn based fest and I'm revisiting it again.

Honestly, i cant stop playing this. To me at least, its like playing old-school fire emblem games, and with it being a rogue like, it doesn't end when the story does. at the point of this review i have 160+ hours of game play, and I'm nowhere near bored of the game

This is an amazing game that has depth but is also cozy. It can be a good game to just chill and play at the default difficulties and it can be involved and tactical at the higher difficulties. Give it a try.

This game is so much fun. A lot to discover, the relationships and families. So cool and replayable!

the community and their mods really let the game shine. It's nice to watch someone's life unfold before your eyes as you take on evil. The romance and friendships are a nice touch. One bad thing is that it can be a bit monotonous if you're trying to do a whole campaign at once. Things start to blend together and sometimes it's a lot of reading without actually being invested in the event. Overall, the game is unique and enjoyable. If you like fantasy, this game is a good investment.

Yeah this game is really incredible for what it is. The story-telling is so on-point and the writing is excellent. The way choice and consequences are handled and how they sculpt the narrative and affect your resources is so well executed that every playthrough can feel different but comfortingly familiar. Don't let the graphics fool you, the gameplay is incredibly good and the progression system is very well fleshed out with seemingly hundreds of different character builds you can progress into, but with a slight component of RNG. The combat feels truly tactical and rewarding and the difficulty curve is well paced. If you like tactics games and subtle rogue-lite elements (carrying legacy characters from other campaigns into new ones), this I highly recommend you purchase this game.

Wonderful alternative to D & D tabletop and variants, for those who don't want to bother too much with mechanics and extensive dice roll but rather enjoy the fun of questing and role playing. The procedural generated contend adds immense replayability. More important - it has multiplayer : you can enjoy it in a party of five friends! :)

The visual aspect of the game had me skeptic at he beginning, but soon after starting to play, it became part of its charm and originality. Excellent turn-base strategy game with nice characters and story. Recommended.

Great gameplay and writing, with lovely artwork

Good game, although I recommend downloading unlimited undo mod when playing over steamlink. It will save you much frustration. It enables you to make some seriously amazing characters and develop their stories over several games. Even if you screw up in one game, you can lose the game and try in the next one. If I compare this to say XCOM I like it this way better. In XCOM you have long campaing, in this game, 1 campaing takes like 6-12 hours. There are enough random event to make it feel fresh every time. Characters also have different hooks, personal quests and stories. Progress in those carries over to your next campaing.

Delightful. Procedural narrative like nothing I've seen elsewhere. Great vibes, and a pretty novel approach to environmental combat effects.

Seems like an endless variety of story-parts, which draw very well from the choices you've made. Looks like it'll be replayable even after I've finished all the main stories.

This game is wonderful. If you like RPGs at all, you owe it to yourself to try it out

An absolute gem. The beautiful hand-painted scenery and character art, the thoughtful and organic sound design, the intricate and ever-weaving overarching narratives and character stories, all meshed with a surprisingly robust turn-based combat system come together in a work of pure magic. I love it, I genuinely do, the charm in the over the top fantasy dialogue with the whimsical world of adventure are a blast to pseudo-roleplay with friends. We all voice our own characters and form deep sincere connections with them, the steps they take in their journeys and how they interact with each other range from cute and sincere, to funny and joyful, or even downright depressing. The attachments you form make it actually heartbreaking when you have to make very difficult decisions, whether that be from an integral story event or a critical mistake in combat. The character customization is very nice, everything from physical appearance to personality traits and little quirks that will not only influence how they speak, but the events and quests they will undergo to find their own path. They'll form relationships with each other, as friends, rivals, and lovers. You'll form parties of recruits from all walks of life, carving out their legacies as you go, having them come together and start families as the years go by and the world changes, seeing them age and fade out, becoming legends of their time. Their stories will be told to new adventurers, whether they be greenhorns wishing for a new start in life or even descendants of those whose tales you've lived before. And that is all quite literally, no exaggeration. The combat is fun, engaging, and each class has its own strengths and playstyle. As they acquire experience your adventurers will obtain new skills, new armor, weapons, accessories, tools, etc. Even curses or life-changing injuries will affect not only how they speak and act, but how they will have to approach combat from a raw gameplay perspective. But overall, play with friends. Embrace the goofy moments and the characters you created. You'll create memories not only with them, but your real friends as well.

One of the best game i played in years. excellent story telling. good balancing. many variety

I have been gaming for over 20 years and it's been almost 20 years since a game has ever made me feel like this one has. I won't spoil anything for you. This game is not just for fantasy heads, it's for dreamers. This game is the one.

It's wild how this game will unexpectedly pull you in for hours, with every story feeling like a little myth you made yourself

Don't let the graphics fool you, this is a CRPG with surprisingly deep tabletop elements and mechanics. The rogue-like element makes for rewarding additional playthroughs and there is a unique element of characters aging, having kids and even returning in surprising ways in future adventures

I'm so glad that I stumbled across this after seeing a YouTube video citing the best turnbased games. Don't let the cute graphics style deceive you as it's a great game with depth and wears it's heart on its sleeve.

I love turn based games and this hits the mark.

Best tactical RPG I've played in years.

Amazing game ! I really had a fun time playing it !

If you like D&D you will like this game.
