Jul 11, 2023Miasma Chronicles is a solid tactical battler in a post-apocalyptic USA. The story is generally well done, if a little cliched at times. The allegorical corporations are bad mmkay thread is a bit hamfisted, but does a good job in terms of humanity treating the planet like shit. Combat is generally excellent although the reliance on consumable items for healing outside combat is a bit eh. Either way, these are minor gripes and you need to be playing this game.

Jul 26, 2023Miasma Chronicles, while not without its flaws, shines in its intricately crafted environments and thrilling tactical combat, bringing life into what could have been a game as bleak as its dystopian world.

Jul 7, 2023Miasma Chronicles is a great game that lovers of tactical strategy and stealth games will enjoy. The Bearded Ladies refine the formula of Mutant Year Zero in a proposal that is kinder to the player, but that is not exempt from a sometimes strangely managed difficulty. The story takes time to start, but even in those first hours it is capable of pushing us to continue playing.

Jul 2, 2023Miasma Chronicles is a good strategy game that delivers a fun and engaging story that builds on important elements from the developer's previous game. While technical issues do affect the experience, it's a challenging title that fans of the genre will love.

Jun 9, 2023The Bearded Ladies signs a winning return to the Tactical-RPG genre after the potential trial run Mutant Year Zero. Miasma Chronicles retains the same formula in gameplay, namely a title combining RPG, Xcom-style strategy and even infiltration to make the task easier in combat. The scenario, the characters, the graphics and the sound form an organic universe largely at the level to make the game one of the beautiful surprises of the year 2023. There remain a few imperfections (camera, difficulty, etc.) to be corrected so that the Swedish studio establishes itself as the leader of the genre for the rest of its adventures.

May 31, 2023I'm pretty sure this is the third game in a row that I've covered that has a post-apocalyptic setting, and of them all, Miasma Chronicles' world is by far the most interesting. Seeing classic American iconography all twisted and wrong is something that always catches my eye, and Miasma Chronicles delivers on that front. A must-buy for fans of XCOM and tactics games in general.

May 29, 2023Miasma Chronicles is a challenging and at the same time great turn-based strategy game that will take us to fight a strange threat in a world destroyed by what they call miasma. The playable mechanics work very well and he offers his personal touch to the formula. It is not a perfect game but it keeps the player hooked.
-
Jul 4, 2023Miasma Chronicles is a step in the right direction, built on the foundations of the studio's previous game. You may call it a spiritual successor, but what it is, is an immersive, simple, yet enjoyable tactical RPG with an intriguing story and some nice graphics. If you are into strategizing and post-apocalyptic worlds, there's plenty to look forward to here.

Jun 5, 2023Miasma Chronicles is a good tactical role-playing video game that has little to envy to the great references of the genre. Its combat system full of possibilities and its use of stealth are two compelling reasons not to underestimate this title from the authors of Mutant Year Zero.
-
May 30, 2023This is the logical step after Mutant Year Zero. Fun combat and smart stealth sequences in a very accessible game.

Jun 1, 2023I had a great time with Miasma Chronicles, and I legitimately didn't want it to end. The accessible tactical combat had me coming back for more, and I loved the environments and the visually pleasing destruction the Miasma has wrought. Though its story is pretty wonky, I still enjoyed what I experienced and hope that a sequel will fully flesh out what is happening in this world.
-
Aug 13, 2023Miasma Chronicles is an excellent addition to the turn-based strategy genre. If you're a fan of tactics in the RPG setting, this game will offer you hours of good fun.
-
May 24, 2023There's a kernel of a fantastic tactical role playing game in Miasma Chronicles, but it lacks polish in a few key areas, and while the lore and the characters are endearing in their own right the overarching fiction that binds it all together disappoints.
