So many better choices
This game was sold to me based on high user reviews and a solid critic score. However, it's not very good. If you have never played strong TBS tactical combat games, the cute graphics and aesthetic might appeal, but the core gameplay isn't very well done. The interface was not heavily adjusted for the PC port from the original mobile version, so it is very obvious when you're moving units it was designed for a touch screen interface. You have redundant need for clicking that strongly reduces the desire for 'just one more turn' mentality. In essence, you get tired playing based on the interface. The story is just fine, as is the humour, but the battle set ups are almost completely dictated for you. Time after time you'll find you need to use arbitrary strategies to progress, as opposed to figuring out your own unique methods for solving a battle. This game is not terrible. It's not even bad.... it's just not very good, and slightly below average for the TBS genre. Pick up something else.
