Great game and I had a lot of fun with it. A lot of people say this game is similar to Fire Emblem and Ogre Battle (SNES). While this is certainly true, I felt some stronger resemblance to the old SNES game Bahamut Lagoon. Yes, the game has some stuff that is not up to certain standards, but the core gameplay works great and is a lot of fun. I especially liked the direction they tried to go with the story.
This little gem is a great example of telling a (small) story with game mechanics only. I loved that I could play it in one go (1-2 hours). On top the game is just beautiful to look at with all those handdrawn visuals. Also the music is really lovely. You can see that it's a passion project.
Haven't bought it yet, because I don't buy early access on principle. But obviously there are enough people, who can't handle early access and should refrain from reviewing in that case. 5 stars against the noise. Give it a chance after a proper release.
