    Fell Seal: Arbiter’s Mark does not reinvent the whole tactical RPG world but it surely does a very good job at some of its main aspects, namely at customization and at giving a whole lot of reasons for the player to look at the screen with all its gorgeous elements. If it's true that the plot and some of its mechanics need improvement, Fell Seal: Arbiter’s Mark does not need to copy previous games to make a name on its own.

Inspired by PlayStation 1 era classic strategy RPGs like FF Tactics or Vandal Hearts, it tells a tale of intrigue and conspiracy in a fantasy/supernatural setting. There are no cliched orcs or goblins or knights on horseback; it’s very grounded and dark, with great character designs. The really nice touch is the sheer variety of classes you can pick from, mixing and matching skills and abilities from each. And unlike recent games like Fire Emblem: Three Houses or Mario + Rabbids 2, you can tell there’s been an incredible amount of effort put into making each of the 40-50 campaign encounters feel unique and fun to play. Not to mention secret levels, multiple endings, and customisable difficulty options… it’s a must-play in my view.… Full Review »

This is a great RPG with a classic style story and great battles and progression system. If you enjoy tactical games and like story and complex progression system this is the way to go. has a few control weirdnesses on switch and the icons are a little hard to read.

    weak points:
    - some of the battles can go on for a while as enemies will definitely heal
    - progression system (job system i think?) can be a little cumbersome by mid-game. hard to juggle all the classes since you can multi class. I am working on unlocking everything and it gets tricky to keep track of what I'm going for.    … Full Review »
