So, as someone who have recently beaten the game with 100% storylines explored (not 100% challenges though, some of them are insane) I feel obliged to write a review. I got this game a while ago as part of THE Bundle and played it recently as a kind of “companion” game, kinda like people play mobile games while doing other things. And I must say that some parts of it I enjoyed greatly and others not quite so. I love the worldbuilding, as it was crafty and invocative, even if relatively humble. Steampunk ancient Greece, and this version of it, seems like a good place for e.g. a Dnd campaign and I would love to see it described in even greater detail. The plot itself is a bit paradoxical – the main story is obvious as is the case with most of world-saving RPG’s and other games, characters were one-note but very likable and there were some finer subplots in there. But while during the first play-trough I absorbed the world and was very excited about my decisions, next play-troughs were increasingly more chaotic, showing that in particular stories there is very little internal logic – it’s just hopping from place to place. Even so, the larger picture that emerges from those chaotic play-troughs seems coherent and well thought-trough. Now, to the fights itself. I enjoyed most of them as little puzzles to be solved with skills at hand. It did not bother me much that it’s more simplistic than in classic tactical RPG’s. I haven’t played them nor I really intend to, so I enjoyed what I got. It did, however, bother me that the level up system seems entirely superficial and unlocking new skills was no gratification. I unlocked the really useful ones (healing and pushing other units) right away and the rest did not seem helpful to me so I did not have anything to look forward to. That and the final fights (solo Skylax! the final boss!) that really pushed my patience with this thing stood like a sore thumb from the rest of this overall enjoyable experience.
