This game should get a massive score boost due to its demo. It was really refreshing and honestly pretty boastful of them. It's not every day a limited story strategy game can let you play for 7 hours and still have countless more to enjoy.

​​​@@flunkyballs4610 No, they're afraid of development costs. Vanillaware isn't a large company backed by deep pocket investors. They're small. This game took 10 years to develop, and not only did they run out of money while doing so, the CEO started dipping into his personal funds to get them across the finish line. This is publicly available info if you don't believe me. Another even 6 months to make a viable PC port may have bankrupted them, or at least caused significant financial hardship. This is not a AAA studio. Don't expect AAA resources.

@@flunkyballs4610 Its a japanese company. People haven't learned japans focus has always been consoles. They are more modern of course abit with doing PC as well of course but some japanese devs/publishers prefer to only work on releasing games for consoles. Even then its specific consoles that are japanese meaning just playstation or switch, not xbox since they are western and not popular in japan. Its lucky that all consoles got this game to begin with. They don't understimate the PC audience, they have their preference and resources and say of what they want to release on and sometimes PC gets left out. Could be those numbers aren't high as you think for sales as a possibility too. But here as long as you got any console you can play it so that's great.

Surprised it was not mentioned that you can trigger things on the exploration map that can effect a battle map.

This game looks 🔥🔥🔥! Is it available on steam?

Ok, it’s ogre battle. I’m sold.

Game of the year for me. The art style is absolutely stunning, story and characters are fantastic (voice acting too) and the gameplay is so much fun. If you loved ogre battle and always wanted a (spiritual) sequel that is superior in every way then this is it! Best strategy rpg I’ve ever played

VanillaWare deserve a solid win with how great their games and art designs.

No PC ?

Argh, amazon still hasn't shipped my Premium Edition :( I'm so looking forward to play this!

Genuinely can’t wait to get my hands on this!

This is looking like a love letter to one of my favorite games, Suikoden V. The art style is definitely different but the plot to my understanding and the blend of turn for turn and RTS rpg are both very similar. Also the option to recruit side characters for your army.

So this strikes me as a combination of Shining Force and Ogre Battle? PERFECTION!!

This game is so satisfying. Really rethinks a lot of the oldschool grating aspects of SRPGS's.
