Fight through tactical turn-based battles and awkward conversations alike – Diorama Break is coming soon on GOG!

The special tactics JRPG where you can talk directly to the Hero (whether he wants it or not).

Wishlist it now!
Thanks to Studio Massimo Gauthier for considering a GOG release and GOG team for their continued efforts. Looks interesting.

Edit:
For anyone posting on the new releases today, be aware that it leads to a 404 page when completing the post. Until they fix it, you just have to go back to the release page from the main page again, but rest assured, the post does complete (at least it in both cases for me).
.
Edit 2:
It seems to only happen the first time I posted here and for another game release page. Editing the same post (twice) did not take me to a 404 page.

Is this really turn based or not?

It does list turn-based in the tags section of the game.

Well, other games do that too, for example one of the FF games, on the gamepage it says that it’s turn based, but it’s not! You have to wait until your action bar is filled, before you can choose an action! And while you wait, the enemies happily slice you to pieces. The sreenshots of this game look like it’s the same here.

Gotcha, I don't know if I played those types. Though one game seems to tease my memory, though I can't recall the name.

I don't know if you read further down on the game page, but here's a bit more that may help, at least until someone else posts from actual gameplay. This is directly from the game page:

- Turns are split into 6 substeps, actions have varying substep durations and areas of effect. Slower actions might hit harder, while faster actions can be easier to land.

- Both Player and Enemy units queue multiple actions ahead of time, then execute them concurrently.

- Time your actions and movements carefully to hit your opponents before they hit you.

- Inspired by fighting game concepts such as footsies, frame data, and attack interruption.
