Chromasia - Rock Paper Tactics

While it is technically sound, checking all the boxes to make it a TRPG, the game overall is incredibly basic. If it weren't for technical errors and spelling, it would feel utterly lifeless. For a $15 game, it certainly takes entirely too long to bust the lead out and get things into motion. Check out the first 25 minutes here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVAkiLGIdJ4

It's functional, I guess. The controls are a bit akward and the art work isn't that great but It's a good RPG for the most part. The real issue is that they wasted the theme. You are living rocks, papers and siccors after all. You'd expect that being mirrored in the world as well. Maybe Towers are pencils? Are Doors Scissors shaped? But NOTHING has been done in the game along those lines. The towns are the most generic medieval fantasy setting stuff there is (and my I remind you that the art work isn't great to beginn with). So that's a let down.

Using the classic Rock-Paper-Scissors game as the backdrop for a turn-based RPG is a clever design decision and I’m enjoying this one so far. Gameplay starts off simple, having three types of units with one attack option each (with rock obviously having an advantage over scissors, scissors having a bonus against paper and paper excelling against rock). The vibe is light and goofy, and your characters acquire new abilities as they level up and advance to more intricate battlefields, ramping up the tactical complexity as you go. It’s a fun wind-down game at the end of the day.

I found this game interesting. I don't play games much but really enjoyed it. The characters are really cute to boot. It's worth the purchase.

[h1]What attracted me[/h1] The [b]rock paper scissors[/b] thing got me curious since I do enjoy some RNG in my life. [h1]The RNG factor[/h1] Helped me decide how I should approach each round, it didn't prove annoying, but definitely encouraged me to either go all out or buckle up instead. [h1]Variety and potential for replayability[/h1] There are multiple, specific, spells for each character that offer you a different way of approaching your enemies, some, like the [b]rock[/b] require you to get up and personal with the enemy, some allow for long range, more safe, attacks, like the [b]paper[/b] while others, like the [b]scissor[/b] allow you to risk more (suggested for more advanced players). I've actually finished one of the game's endings, but apparently It was not really the "true" ending. I suspect that there are multiple endings, and thankfully I didn't lose character progress. So do [u]not be afraid[/u] to explore them. [h1]Do not forget the rules of [b]rock paper scissors[/b][/h1] Even if each character has different play styles and the RNG rolls for each round, no matter how good your scissor is, it will cost you if you try to fight a [b]rock[/b]. Variety of characters is a [b][u]must[/u][/b]. [h1]Final words[/h1] A pretty refreshing experience, looking forward to finishing this game and checking out future updates.

This game is definitely fun and easy to pick up as a casual gamer. The tutorials are easy to understand, and I enjoy the humor in the story.
