    I love DioField Chronicle! I’ll first preface that I didn’t play the three biggest games of 2022 AKA Elden Ring, God of War Ragnarök and Horizon Forbidden West, so this was my favorite game of 2022. I bought it upon its release. I got the Platinum Trophy for it after almost 34hrs. The Real-Time Tactical Battle” (RTTB) is a blast. The upgrade system is very well done.

I’ll first preface that I didn’t play the three biggest games of 2022 AKA Elden Ring, God of War Ragnarök and Horizon Forbidden West, so this was my favorite game of 2022. I bought it upon its release. I got the Platinum Trophy for it after almost 34hrs. The Real-Time Tactical Battle” (RTTB) is a blast. The upgrade system is very well done. A brilliant mechanic that they added is that you can Fast-Forward the combat speed. The game on Hard does get fairly easy halfway through the game. The story is what sold me the most TBH. It was Dark and Gritty and it felt like a Game of Thrones storyline. Graphics are solid for the type of game that it’s and the music/sound/voice acting is Amazing. The characters are all intriguing. I do wish that they had more cutscenes though because the few that they did have were very cool. The replayability wasn’t there prior to this new DLC where they now added a Very Hard Difficulty Mode. I’m currently playing the Waltaquin Redditch DLC that just dropped a little while ago, so it’s wonderful to be able to go back to the game that I love so much after a year, but the only thing that I dislike is the fact that they did not add any new trophies to the game. I hope that we see a sequel in the future because this game has so much potential as a franchise and as a new IP from Square Enix!… Expand

    The DioField Chronicle has a lot of potential to be a great game, but thanks to the strange movements of Square Enix, this has not managed to be the title that many expected and that would make strategy games renew their formula that has been going on for many years. without changing. Probably with the addition of more translations, especially Spanish, it would have been reason enough to take into account the purchase of this game, but it has not been the case, so it remains off the radar of most players, thus remaining in oblivion as a game that Square Enix did not know how to take advantage of, remaining in non-existence in the mouths of the company's fans.

    The DioField Chronicle is a great real-time strategy game for consoles. It controls well, the stages aren’t too long, and there’s enough mechanical depth to make stage replays interesting. Although I couldn’t be bothered with the game’s story, the scenes themselves don’t last long and all of it can be skipped at any point. I would have liked some more quality-of-life features such as always-on enemy range marking, but what’s missing hardly impacts the gameplay. This is a game I can recommend to tactics and JRPG fans alike.

    The DioField Chronicle is a great looking game, with some good storytelling and some average RPG mechanics. But it all adds up to a fine first entry that leaves us eager for more.
