More quality work from Ephiam: more strategy, dense level design, and combat depth than ever.

The Creta and equipment systems allow for much customization. Because all options carry positive and negative attributes, fine-tuning your party is a satisfying process.

Combat is challenging enough to spur deep engagement, with each enemy displaying a number of unique resistances and weaknesses. 

Like previous titles, the world and its telling are refreshingly straightforward and original, without broken fourth walls, "relatable" anachronisms, or other tired subversions. Emotional moments are well-placed and given room. The game's slow transition from memory to present is so well done.

This is a storyteller well worth supporting.
