Hellenica

I give this game a 5.7/10. Story is okay. Combat can be challenging, though it feels too limiting. Alright, here are my gripes: *The combat is too simple. There is no equipment system. No class/job system. Effectively every story character has a unique set of skills, which you unlock over time. *I disagree with the decision to limit your characters to two skills. I think it would have been better to have them all available as you unlock them. Choosing your layout before each fight was more irritating than rewarding. Let resource (energy/mana/etc.) costs make you decide which one to use instead. *You do not get to choose your mission crew! Every stage has preassigned group members! *The story is purposely repetitive, with you playing a psuedo time loop to recruit your companions for the final fight. This means that you run into several similar story beats as you continue to play the game, which makes the story drag. In the game, you recruit a Persian guy who uses fire magic. I would have loved to play him as a pure mage with ranged attacks, but he has a sword! And he will always have a sword!
