    Chains of Freedom is a ton of fun to play, and while it feels more fluid than many other tactics games, the bones are so similar that it is simple to pick up.

    A title that mixes very promising elements with a somewhat uneven execution. It has an outstanding art direction, a well-designed atmosphere and a functional combat system that, although it doesn't innovate, knows how to generate tension. However, its irregular narrative, the lack of depth of characters and combat and the repetitiveness of some systems prevent it from reaching the level of the greats of the genre.

    Chains of Freedom is a solid action RPG. The elements are there and, in some cases, executed pretty well. The elements that fall flat do just that, they don’t bring down Chains of Freedom into the area of being a “bad game.” The story and combat do well enough to keep you going and in, some cases, feel a very real sense of achievement. Overall I rated Chains of Freedom with a 7/10. While there were pieces that didn’t astound me, I never felt like I was playing a sub-par game. There was definitely some interesting elements with the biocrystal perks and the enemies you encounter a long your way to the boss fights. The combat was good, if a little clumsy in places, and the RPG elements really stand tall as the focus of the development team.
