    CC2 did it again. All of their Little Tail Bronx series of games had great stories and lovable characters, but this one finally came with a tight gameplay and nice difficulty to test the player alongside.

    What else is there to say? I'm not gonna spoil the game for you, buy it and see by yourselves.

    Don't be fooled by the shame that it was the launch day with bugs on online stores and such, it surely was a pity that it didn't launch without issues, but give CC2 a moment so they could fix issues and give the game a try, it's 100% worth it!!!    … Expand

    Game even surprised me with decent expectations going into it, fun combat along with good characters and an interesting premise will make you not regret this game.

    Fuga is the third game in the Little Tail Bronx series. As a lover of Tail Concerto and Solatorobo, this game has been on my wishlist for some time. The mechanics this time are a mix of RPG and roguelike: you can choose paths, face enemies and collects rewards.
    CC2 really puts a lot of love in their kemono games and it's show as you play it. I sincerely recommend checking it out if you can.

    The first time I saw the game's image, I thought 'Yeah, the characters look adorable and I kind of like turn-based games, so I'll give it a try' - The moment I got it and played it, I noticed something familiar about the context of the game and the soundtrack, that was when I realized that the game was situated in Little Tail Bronx's universe and that certainly made the whole game feelThe first time I saw the game's image, I thought 'Yeah, the characters look adorable and I kind of like turn-based games, so I'll give it a try' - The moment I got it and played it, I noticed something familiar about the context of the game and the soundtrack, that was when I realized that the game was situated in Little Tail Bronx's universe and that certainly made the whole game feel even better! I'm pretty fond of Solatorobo: Red the Hunter and when I realized that the game I was playing was from the same universe, I couldn't contain my excitement, It was one of my childhood games and hence, I want this game to be successful so CyberConnect2 can give us another game for next gen consoles!

    Regarding to game mechanics, They were pretty okay like any other turn-based game but regarding to the game story and context, It was pretty impactful, They mixed those lovely characters with a harsh enviroment, I mean, they are sending kids to war and you, the player, are given the power to sacrifice their lives in order to one-shot bosses, you will face lots of depressive and sad scenearios, which is nothing like the previous games but personally I liked this new turn of events.

    You do eventually finish the game and you're given lots of answer and lore about Little Tail Bronx's world, How the archipielagos were formed, what happened to humanity, etc, You do have to replay the game in order to unlock those archives and it gets overly repetitive, but at least you get to keep all of Taranis'upgrades so you can make progress quickly.

    Overall, I did enjoy the game and I did enjoy all the new information, It gives me hope that Little Tail Bronx will get more love in the future!    … Expand

    These are literally the worst controls I have ever experienced. I have no idea what they were smoking with the PC version.

    Little Tail Bronx это великая серия, которая всегда терпит великий финансовый крах. С этой игрой я познакомился благодаря сарафанному радио, а точнее благодаря стримам Бэбэя.
    Я делаю на этом большой акцент, так как поиграть в России в эту игру после 2022 года невозможно. Несмотря не на что, я смог поиграть в пиратскую версию.

    Really enjoyed almost every part of this game. Good combat and character relationships. Wish there was more exploration but I really enjoyed it none the less.

    If you’re a fan of JRPGs, there’s a lot of fun to be had in Fuga: Melodies of Steel. The series deserves more games like this and a lot more people to play them. It’s not a masterpiece, but it’s a very interesting take on the turn-based strategy genre.

    Fuga: Memories of Steel is a turn-based strategy game that is unlike any other one I have played. The story is incredibly deep and a lot more serious than you would expect a game with cats and dogs to be. Definitely worth checking out if you like RTS games mixed with RPG elements.

    Against all expectations, Fuga: Melodies of Steel is much darker than its visuals might suggest and justifies its PEGI 16 rating with a difficult, uncompromising story driven by deep and varied game mechanics. Despite the flagrant nature of its technical and budgetary restrictions, CyberConnect2's tactical RPG does well and manages to embark on its experience by making us forget almost all of its shortcomings, moreover few in number. However, there remains a redundancy of actions to be carried out with difficulty compensated by the introduction of new elements, but nothing that is not able to put off fans of tactical role-playing games with a good depth, in search of an accessible title which will know punctually resist them.
