Nice game, at least from the point of mechanics

Well, as many others allready mentioned, it is pretty similar to final fantasy tactics or disgae in terms of mechanics. I loved these games so I figured out I might like this one as well. Turns out, it is pretty decent gameplay wise. But hey Karf, why only three stars dude? Well, this is due to the atrocious storyline. Quote from the shop page: "Experience an epic and mature story"... seriously? I still don't get it but this seems to be a red line which appears in so many modern games. It happened to cosmic heroine as well. The core mechanics are pretty decent and while I do disagree on many of the design choices for the leveling and class system, I can still get behind that. But please, pretty pretty please hire a decent witer for future games. If this is a budget problem, feel free to steal from the vast ammount of open source pen and paper adventures out there. Since you got no moral issues to copy most of the mechanics, this shouldn't be a problem as well. Even if you don't copy the free source material, at least let it write someone who runs some kind of pen and paper in his spare time or someone who is a true fan of good storywriting. I am perfectly okay with creative arguing about mechanics and stuff and I also agree that tastes differ from person to person. But the story is by far the weakest point of the whole game. The story for final fantasy tactics was pretty stupid as well, but at least they didn't promote it with words like this. I wish you the best and I am looking forward to future projects. But buyers with a heavy focus on storyline should be aware that this might not be a good choice.

Simply Superb.

This is a solid strategy game. You essentially get 6 characters per map (some allow for more; others less). There is a great deal to do with your characters. You have the story ones and then you can create/recruit others. Each character can access various classes to train in for new abilities. You also have plenty of equipment to handle. There is no absurd permadeath at all. If your character gets killed, they receive an injury that lasts one battle. Then it's gone, and they're back to normal. Not bad at all. The difficulty scales as you move through the game. You can replay most of the maps to gain experience, gold, etc. These maps will have new enemies, so there's some replay there. There is an annoying mechanic that can instantly drown characters, but this can be countered with items/abilities or disabling it in the settings. There's not much to dislike here. The graphics and sound are solid. The controls are menu driven, so that's not an issue. The story is stand RPG stuff complete with a secret better ending. If you want a solid turn based strategy game, I'm not sure what else you could ask for.

Game of Options

(Purchased on Steam) Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark is a Tactical RPG with gameplay similar to Final Fantasy Tactics and Tactics Ogre. There are a lot of menu options right from the jump to shape your gameplay experience, which can be altered at any point in the game. There are also many classes, items, and recruitable monsters with their own sets of classes, all leading to a perhaps overwhelming amount of possible combinations! However, as you get into the midgame, it becomes tediously clear that many classes have skill overlap, which stifles the desire to learn them all. There are incentives to mastering a class (permanent stat bonuses) but they really aren't necessary. And the fact that you have menu options to make the game easier only makes the issue of the unnecessary, the arbitrary and the redundant classes stand out all the more. The plot is fun and, to my surprise, NOT filled to the brim with prepubescent attempts at humor! It's not nearly as busy as Final Fantasy Tactics or the Tactics Ogre games, but it does have interesting twists. Fans of the genre should enjoy it, if they can get over the barrage of options and classes that can, at times, seem unnecessary.

A great tactical RPG

Fans of Final Fantasy Tactics will enjoy this. Fans of Divinity: OS and X-COM may enjoy it too. I played about 60 hours for my first playthrough and loved every minute of it. It is heavily influenced by Final Fantasy Tactics in almost every aspect, and that's a good thing. There are many improvements over the original formula. There are plenty of classes and skills to experiment with so you can find your favorite party composition, most of them seem pretty well balanced. If you want to fight extra battles to do some level grinding then you can choose when and where to do them, they don't show up randomly when you least expect it. There is plenty of treasure to find and items to shop for. Your items replenish after each battle so you don't have to keep buying health potions over and over. There are some secrets and special characters to unlock. There are several options to adjust the difficulty. Unfortunately the battlefields were not rotatable, but I quickly got used to that. The story is decent and provides a good pace for the game. There's a competent tutorial/help system to get you playing quickly. And a big thank you to the team for providing support for so many extra languages, especially Portuguese which is what I chose.

Excellent spiritual successor to FFT

As mentioned in many previous reviews, the gameplay in Fell Seal is very close to the original Final Fantasy Tactics (FFT). You control a group of heroes on a grid, mix and match classes and skills, fight monsters and humans, and lead an idealist on a journey to expose the corruption lurking within a respected institution. There are differences, of course. Your crossbows don't have a minimum distance; obstacles like trees don't block your shots; there are no one-hit kill spells or abilities. As such, the basic gameplay is a bit easier than FFT; however, there are numerous difficulty settings that you can adjust to make the game more or less challenging. You can turn off permadeath, stop enemies from hitting a level cap, and things like that. Story-wise, and without going into any spoilers, you are playing as the female captain of a group of law-keepers known as arbiters, who works with her team to unravel the corruption that is plaguing the arbiters and those who command them. Over the course of your playthrough—40+ hours if you want to grind or do end-game content—you can unlock secret classes and companions, craft strong weapons, participate in fighting contests, and experience multiple endings. The release I've been playing (1.02) is polished, and delivers consistent gameplay throughout. Overall, I'd recommend buying it. Frankly, I can't wait for DLC.
