    Reverie Knights Tactics features straightforward mechanics, which might leave mega fans of the genre wanting more depth, but overall, while Reverie Knights Tactics brings nothing new to the genre, it is a fun challenge for people who enjoy tactical games.

    While Reverie Knights Tactics has some novel ideas for its turn-based battles, it falls short in just every other aspect. Its exploration is bland, its story lacklustre and its visuals unappealing. With a tighter focus on what works, this game could have been promising. As it stands, however, the experience of playing this RPG is ultimately an unsatisfying one.

    Undeniably a love letter to old-school tactical RPGs, Reverie Knights Tactics packs in enough charm and replayability to please fans of the genre, but won’t be knocking the likes of Fire Emblem or Disgaea off their respective perches any time soon. Its comic book aesthetic also takes a while to get used to, but like the nuances of its story or its branching character development, its charm grows as you play. However, it doesn’t really offer anything that fans of TRPGs won’t have experienced elsewhere, and the lack of final polish undermines its aspirations.

    The tactical part of Reverie Knights Tactics is mildly interesting in its 'puzzle' nature, if it does not wear out its welcome through heavy RNG outcomes. However, severe loss of quality elsewhere really drags the experience down, the levelling/stats system is fairly boring, the character design is bad, and the story is utterly forgettable for how long it drones on between combat sections. There might be something here worth salvaging, but it would need to be hacked up and pasted back together first.

    An absurdist collection of pseudo-tactical puzzles.

    I loved turn based tactics titles but this is one you should definitely give a miss. The battles are so slow and lethargic, it feels likeI loved turn based tactics titles but this is one you should definitely give a miss. The battles are so slow and lethargic, it feels like you're stuck in mud. This wouldnt be a problem if the animations were so poor, its look like they are missing several frames. The cutscene stills arent so bad but the characters you play with make no sense and are badly written. A teenage girl lead character with glasses in a medieval world of elves and goblins. This really takes you out of the game. The engine also runs poorly even on a powerful rig with several bugs. Give this a try if you must but rather get it at a bargain bin discount.… Full Review »
