Alvora Tactics

A short dungeon crawler with a bit of procedural generation. Doesn't have the exploration or story or Voidspire Tactics, but it's also cheaper, so I think the price is right if you just want more of the same gameplay with some nice quality of life improvements.

Новая игрушка от создателей Voidspire Tactics, по сути та же непростая пошаговая стратегия в другом мире. Очень впечатляющее место действия - представьте себе мир, где в небесах парит гигантская змея, раз в десятилетие ныряющая вниз и поглощающая что-нибудь с поверхности, иногда даже целый город. И вот эта змея вдруг найдена мертвой. А через какое-то время вокруг нее возникает целый городок искателей приключений, организующих экспедиции в ее труп в поисках сокровищ. Игра значительно короче первой, прохождение представляет собой почти линейное продвижение к верху змеи. Большая часть карт генерируется случайно, немного изменены классы, а в команду уже можно взять до 6 приключенцев. Рекомендую тем, кому оказалось мало первой игры от разработчиков.

Alvora Tactics is the second Rad Codex game, featuring turn based combat and an FFTactics-inspired class system, Based around exploring a single, procedural dungeon--the remains of a giant city-eating worm--Alvora doesn't have much to differentiate it from the other games by this developer, but it's still fun and addictive in its own right. The main added features here are new classes and the augmenting system. You also get a base camp with party-wide upgrades, including the ability to field six members at once. It's a nice balance between exploring Alvora and coming back to sell loot and buy upgrades, all of which feel impactful. However this version of the class system feels pretty weak. Classes in this game have seven active abilities instead of the usual five, but most of them just don't seem worth using. There's a lot of status effects and movement based abilities, and other situational stuff, but relatively few direct power increases. To be fair this seems to be the idea behind the system--most upgrades consist of new tools, range increases, or duration boosts, while power comes from your gear and stats. But this makes the few direct power increases feel like the only things worth unlocking. I finished Alvora in about 15 hours, and it felt too short. My team was decently leveled but only had mid-tier gear at best. It feels like a whole chunk of late game content is just missing. The dungeon has 5 biomes and other than one alternate 3rd floor that sometimes pops up, every floor has the same enemies and same power level every visit. Not only that, but the fourth floor is mostly puzzles with hardly any fights, and the last zone is short and mostly empty. After your first clear it seems like a sixth zone is going to be added, but alas this is not the case. Alvora was a lot of fun, but Horizon's Gate does pretty much everything better. Only recommended if you can't get enough of Rad Codex games and are curious to see how they've evolved.

Great tactical turn based RPG with some roguelite elements. Class system is like Final Fantasy Tactics. Highly recommend.

This game is kind of mediocre, mostly just that it doesn't control very well and it's sort of low quality. I think a lot of people sort of give this a pass because it's a solo dev and he tried - but I kind of regret that I bought this because now it's in my library and I probably won't ever play it. If you actually want to buy this, I would suggest to actually try it and refund if you don't like it instead of letting it sit the whole time.

This is a solo Dev that really knows how to make a great game. So much heart.

if what u want is a dungeon-crawler party-based RPG that cuts down on excess time-filler and just shuttles you between the field and strategizing on party composition off-field, this is the right package

Just beat the game. Another great SRPG in this dev's list of great SRPG's. I will say that the experience was a tad too basic, and I can't say the UI is to my liking, but overall, it's a great game. Solid character building, fantastic combat, good soundtrack.
