Battle Chasers: Nightwar

说实话我感觉策略性比仙剑4强，但故事性就是普通故事。游戏模式很新颖，前期挺好玩的，节奏比较紧凑。下副本有难度选项，地下城还有技能会实时影响战斗。法力分为过载和意志，有点意思。缺点就是英雄要出征等级才会提升（但是装备没有等级限制，估计为刷级准备的吧）越级打副本压迫性很强，我10级打下水道泥怪打了10多次。然后装备会影响实施外观，还有皮肤购买，美术算这游戏的亮点

gutes Spiel, es ist eines Versuch Wert

Nice little turn based RPG, get a party kill stuff, swap party members, kill more stuff. I really liked the animation style just wish there was a newer entry for this title.

Nonostante alcune situazioni possano rivelarsi un po' ripetitive alla lunga, il gioco è una piccola perla del genere. Offre una buona varietà di obiettivi secondari e una storia principale accattivante.

Empezando por la base de que yo empiezo un juego con vistas a terminarlo... Este juego te lo pone muy difícil obligándote a completar varias veces una mazmorra para llegar al nivel adecuado como para avanzar... a eso le sumamos un loot muy malo y una historia que no sirve como aliciente como para continuar. Lo tuve que dejar muy a mi pesar... y eso que me encantan los JRPG. Todo mal.

you can fish in this

This is what I meant in my Darksiders Genesis review. When a developer copies & pasts typical genre gameplay, at least have the decency to do it well. Battle Chasers: Nightwar never surprises, but at the same time is an perfectly competent game in the JRPG format. Comfort food of the good kind. An overland map to travel upon, a team of six characters with stereotypical personalities but otherwise well defined roles, turn based combat, skill upgrades, crafting. It all works fine. Add to the mix some very pretty battle models, superb animations and good looking dungeons and you get a nice solid package. The game is about 40 - 50 hours long, so decently sized. The "unique" touches in this game are twofold. Battlewise: don't use mana in a round, but instead use certain buildup abilities and your characters will earn "overcharge". This extra energy bar can be used to power mana abilities for free in the next round. It's entirely possible to never touch your mana reserves in Battle Chasers. As an added bonus you'll earn some extra experience too after the fight. Then there's the mostly randomized dungeons. Some rooms are pre-baked, but the rest is randomized inside the same tileset. Including certain dungeon events. I thought they were well made. Barring a few exceptions feeling distinctly enough, inviting me to replay all of them at higher difficulties for better loot. The downsides aren't many. The models are pretty, but many of the enemies have several variations looking almost the same. Tastely touched up nontheless, but in the end they're still variants (like fire slimes and magic slimes etc). The random elements are nice, but not so much when you're trying to find specific mobs (I my case a certain final sky captain boss) or a certain kind of fish for a fishing activity. Both didn't show up after many attemps, so in the end I just gave up chasing after the corresponding achievements. I also encountered one strange bug. The game somehow doesn't like me using my Xbox Elite controller wireless, crashing my game each and every time at startup. Fortunately it works fine wired, but I've never quite figured out what caused the problem. Lastly the ending disappointed me somewhat. Just a small walking section (I wouldn't call it a dungeon), an easy boss for my well prepared party and an okay but sudden outro. It's clear the story doesn't end here, but will we ever see our heroes again? I felt... unfulfilled after that outro. Nontheless most of the time Battle Chasers is a joy to play. I'm a fan of the genre and I felt entertained. Well polished, compact/focused. Honed. That's what I'd call this game. Might try Ruined King just as well then one day. ;) Rating: 7.5/10
