A downloadable game.
An easy to learn quick system that encapsulates anime adventures very well. If you are looking for a fast and easy to pick up system you will find a lot to like here.
Pros:
- Character Options. With 16 disciplines and more classes to mix and match you can create your own hero with unique combos. Avatar, Jojo, etc all can be represented here by these options.
- Ease of Play. With simple rules the core of the game is easy to understand. Complexity comes with levels and after that experience so the learning curve is gentle. Youtube tutorials also available so you can start there if you don't want to read.
- Unique World. The world of CBA is unique. With a lot lost and to be uncovered it's easy to slot in all you favourite animes as their own places. The wide range of classes and races also allow you to slot most your wild ideas there.
- Cooperative Play. Cloudbreaker Alliance greatly encourages cooperative play between PCs and even monsters. Even when it's not your turn chances are you can help and combination plays involving 3 or more PCs are possible for incredible results. Unlike in other TTRPGs you get best results when you plan and combine your turns rather than each PC acting "alone" doing their thing.
Cons:
- Simple Start. Part of the easy to play means PCs start very simple. Very good for learning the rules but veterans of TTRPGs may want to start a few levels in.
- Lack of Adventure. Although planned the only currently included adventure is only a few sessions long. A startup with more content would ease in new GMs by letting focus on learning the rules and not worry also having to craft a narrative. When the upcoming adventure is released this problem will vanish.
