Fell Seal DLC Bundle

I compared this to Tactics Ogre and Final Fantasy Tactics as I played, and Fell Seal stands on its own just fine in most ways. I have to admit, at first I was turned off by the graphics, which don't hold up well in a few places, but within a couple hours I was hooked on the very fun gameplay loop of kicking ass and upgrading your squad. - There are several ways to upgrade, but none of them feel like fluff and I found them intuitive and fun to get in to. The game is paced well in rationing out these mechanics, and there are a few instances where the game rewards creative thinking about it's mechanics, which I like. - I LOVE what the devs did with monsters in this game. You could have a squad of 5 of the same monster, and find ways to upgrade them all to feel distinct. The human classes and "blue mage" unit are great as well, I have just been consistently dissapointed by how games like this treat monsters in the past, and they nailed it here. - On that note, the ability to customize the appearance of most units was something that I didn't know I needed. I found myself coming up with backstories for these as I played. If you like a high level of narrative and mechanical customization for your squad, you will like how Fell Seal handles these things. -The two less than stellar things I would note are the story and the music. The story was serviceable, I don't gripe about it, but I did find it predictable in places. Maybe that's just me. It was a fine vessel for the gameplay to be poured into. Unfortunately, I turned off the music a few hours into the game and just listened to something else. It wasn't horrible, it just didn't grab me much at all. -I hope that the devs make a sequel, and fully anticipate that it will be excellent if they build on what they have established here. Playtime: 110+ hours, but I completed all the secret stuff

This game is fantastic i have put an unholy amount of hours into this game with features improving on the FFT formula such as new game+ and mod support and character customization. in addition the customization isn't wasted since custom units have unique classes as well giving them a reason to be used unlike FFT's habit of only the named story units having any reason to exist. if you were a fan of the final fantasy tactics games this game is a must play taking all the good aspects and improving on it however i will say the dlc is heavily recommended to have a complete feeling experience

I Love this game, i have played through it 3-4 times nearly 100%ing it every time on steam. its one of the few games i have every achievement for. i would rate it a 4.5 if possible because its almost perfect. it has some indi issues but, honestly i cant really remember any of them at this moment. Amazing game if you enjoy FFT or any game like it. Actually I will go play it again now....

Yet another annoying f'ing game that can't relay information to the player. I've finally had it 30 hours in. I should know why I'm missing attacks by now. I should know why I'm healing them with my attacks. 10 minutes into a battle, you have rez'd your teammates 5 times and they are all at full health. There's treasure chests on the tiles. Literally every f'ing time I've walked over to a treasure chest, I can't make the final step. I finally have jet boots, which gives you 40 tile vertical, but I still can't get to these treasure chests. The UI is one of the worst I've ever used, complete cluster f everywhere you go. It's like they added new layers of UI on top instead of integrating into previous layers. For example, you gain Ability Points (AP) by doing missions and battles. You have a primary class and a secondary class. Most of your AP goes to your primary, so when you're mastered, you need to switch your primary to maximize your AP. (WHY) The process of switching your class isn't too much, but then you have to switch your secondary. Then you have to switch your equipment. Imagine FF6 and constantly going back and forth on menus like that. To switch primary/secondary/equipment probably takes 5 minutes, 5 minutes of pure hell that will give you a headache. Did I mention yet that you have a squad of about 30, even early into the game? I guess I got my money's worth because I have quite a few hours played, but they weren't very satisfying. The dialogue is cringe and basic. The plot is as well. If the combat was great, all could be forgiven, but it's not. It does have a nice gameplay loop, but it's too convoluted to be fun. Now I understand why there's so little information/buzz about this game. The best thing is the soundtrack, which of course isn't available on gog.
