The verdict
A charming, whimsical Heroes-style tactical RPG with great music and atmosphere, but fights repeat and finite troops mean lots of backtracking. Skip it if you hate grind or old-school bugs.
Great for
Heroes of Might and Magic fans who like cozy fantasy, hero building and careful no-loss tactical battles
Main risk
Finite troops force endless backtracking and repetitive fights, plus crashes and quest bugs
