    The game isn’t perfect, it definitely has its shortcomings. Forcing a character loadout onto you at times does make the game harder, and moving around is not as fast as some people might like. The voice acting is also an acquired taste, I enjoyed it, but I can see some players not enjoying it. But in the end, as a complete package, I think that Skygard Arena is well-worth checking out. The gameplay is extremely fun, I had no crashes, nor any disconnections while playing online, either. It’s a fun romp in the tactics genre, while also being beginner friendly.

    I think Skygard Arena is fun, and you might too. At the absolute minimum, it may well cultivate an interest in the Tactics RPG genre for you, and explore a world of gaming I’ve fondly enjoyed for a long time.

    The Paris-based independent studio Gemelli Games has come up with some great ideas for their first game, which features fun turn-based combat. Although the game isn't massive, it offers plenty of tactical depth.

    Skygard Arena is thoughtful, punishing, and rewarding once the systems click. Its status-driven tactics and persona/relic builds offer genuine depth, especially for players coming from tactics or MOBA backgrounds. For newcomers, early campaign spikes and limited sustain options make the first hours rougher than they need to be. With improved onboarding and a touch more access to healing/cleansing in story missions, Skygard Arena could be an easy recommendation across the board.
