Children of Zodiarcs

I'll start by saying I like tactics and deck building games but if you don't I can't recommend this. Its a new take on tactics by incorporating a few different elements which makes the core gameplay feel like you have to adapt a lot which can be fun sometimes and wildy dissapointing at others. The dice play a role in how effective your actions are and the deck determines said abilities. You can edit the dice a little individually but abilities are how you build your deck and the cards involved are mostly level gated in terms of effectiveness and options. This mean some early levels are a tad bit simpler but harder because there are litterally less abilites to build with and less dice custimization to work with. You never have more than 3 people in a party at a time and the units are pre determined but that doesnt meant there aren't a lot of decisions to make during actual combat. As far as the rpg element goes it pretty linear with side missions mostly to expand on the story more than add choice to the narrative. The story begins by feeling somewhat like a generic adventure tale but takes a pretty dark turn with its themes and going thru the sidequests and the dialogue moments emphasize this. Without spoiling to much, this is a pretty tragic and dark story that is mostly on rails and straightforward. Not a bad story per say but not for everyone if you are in it for the plot. I enjoyed movements was overall kinda bummed by the story but got my enjoyment from the game. It feels like it needs a little more fleshing out, it already has a lot going on mechanically but it also is just a stage select sort of gameplay loop anyway out of combat. I kinda wish the narrative had more player agency or the non combat portion had a bit more player input but in the end the game is about the tactical expierence. If you'd like to try a novel way of playing tactics with stylish look this game can entertain you.

Children of Zodiarcs is a tactical RPG with an intriguing mix of dice-rolling and deck-building mechanics. Its story, set in a world of rebellion and injustice, features a cast of outcasts fighting for survival. While the premise is compelling, the execution can feel uneven. The dice-and-deck system adds a fresh layer of strategy but leans heavily on randomness, which can lead to frustrating outcomes. Customization options are interesting but don’t fully offset the game’s repetitive battles. The story and characters show promise but struggle to maintain momentum due to inconsistent pacing. Although it offers innovative ideas, Children of Zodiarcs doesn’t always deliver on its potential, making it best suited for patient strategy fans willing to overlook its flaws. Worth a try and see if it sticks (did not with me), [b]6.5/10[/b].

Fun system. Wish party was more customisable

A good game that mixes great classic RPG and tabletop mechanics and the story is serviceable enough. It can be very challenging at times, especially in hard mode, when grinding is not as useful as it is in the normal mode. I would totally recommend this game to those who like turn-based rpgs and enjoy a good challenge.

LO COMPRE BUSCANDO UN JUEGO SIMILAR A FINAL FANTASY TACTICS.... LA VERDAD NO ME ARREPIENTO! LO COMPRARIA INCLUSO SI NO ESTUVIERA DE OFERTA! MUY BUEN JUEGO, HORAS DE JUEGO, POSIBILIDAD DE BATALLAS LIBRES COMO FFT. COMPRALO NO TE VAS A ARREPENTIR. JUEGAZO!

I love card battlers and i love tactics. I can recommend this game if you have nothing else going on. I like the dice and card aspect to a point but a lot of times, especially in Hard Mode, you will come to hate this game. It's woefully unbalanced. The number vs number game makes you sit in the corner really thinking about how to move your characters(I know that's what makes it a tactics game), but! when you can't move characters even a space from each other or put them next to each other without watching one get absolutely terminated by 10 dudes when you only get 3 max is really ehhhhhhhh
