TROUBLESHOOTER: Abandoned Children

很好的游戏，一开始没玩进去，后面游戏荒了耐心玩玩发现渐入佳境，是很不错的战旗游戏，天赋系统尤为亮点甚至觉得可以作为业内标杆了，缺点是满级或者剧情通关后缺少继续或者反复游玩的动力，培养宠物啥的也没啥目标，希望能多增加点关卡或者dlc也行啊，再整点新模式比如爬塔或者肉鸽之类，另外增强点装备系统或者是羁绊系统（约会啥的）也是不错的方向。

Such a hidden gem of a game, if you like tactical combat this is for sure worth a try, its like XCOM but your units are stronger and more personalized, just because your units are strong and have cool ass magic powers doesn't mean you cant get your ass kicked, So much content in the game its unreal. The mastery system opens you up to experimenting with each character and tailoring them into what you want them to be. So so much depth here if you need a long tactical game to sink your teeth into this is the place to be

SO many Masteries (skills). SO many Weapons. SO much armor. SO much content. SO much customization. Just incredible! I'm addicted. :-)

TLDR: XCOM but an Anime JRPG. Simple, easy to digest linear story with a variety of cool characters. Large amount of mechanics and systems to optimize, and some surprisingly high in depth. Very high content-to-price ratio. Some grinding may be necessary if you want to do every fetch quest or play on challenge difficulty. Setup: In this world, teens with special powers (keyword TROUBLESHOOTERS) fight for justice in the middle of a police vs gangs vs wildlife ongoing conflict. Your main character starts off as a newbie troubleshooter, learning the ropes under a mid-tier one before branching off to start his own one and gather his own team. You don't hire generic units like in XCOM, instead you have a small roster of unique characters, each with it's own special backstory and reasons to join you. You often meet them many times before you actually hire them for real, as the game is weirdly grounded and realistic when it comes to characters joining you (not happy-go-lucky, party-member-at-first-sight type that happens often in RPGs). Story: I don't have much to say about the story, it is nice and simple, uses a mix of in-engine cinematics and visual novel. The characters are maybe a bit cliche but I personally enjoy it. The police are generic goons who bow down to the might and command of the TROUBLESHOOTER teens who are just build different. The villains commit serious and truly evil acts while at the same time looking like silly goofs. The story has depth when it wants to, usually when it comes to the life and motivations of the main characters. Missions: Something that surprised me is that in the story missions you often get to make meaningful decisions which actually affect how the mission plays out, such as deciding to face a challenging situation instead of retreating, where to enter an area from, party-splitting/who joins a fight, the NPC backup's composition (3 ranged with 1 melee, all melee, etc.). Sometimes you get to pick what character to play as, giving you a unique path throughout the same event, and ocasionally this even includes picking which side you fight as. Mechanics: There's a good deal of optimization to be done to your party beyond just leveling up, be it leveling each of their different subclasses, which class attacks/abilities to bring, the diablo-style RNG modifiers equipment with levels/rarities/star ratings, choosing battle consumables and tools, picking between various relationship bonuses when specific characters are close in the field, gathering/salvaging materials to craft things or just farming gold to buy them instead. And then there's the absolutely massive and in-depth perks system (they call it masteries but that word is way too long for how many times I'm going to be using it). There's a LOT (several hundreds) of perks to equip, some perk categories are unique to specific classes and the number of perks you can equip at once slowly increases as you level up. The perks range from simple straightforward stat bonuses to new mechanics such as counterattacks, new abilities, equipment slots, controlling how EXP gets shared, etc. When combined these perks can completely change how a character plays, and there are a wide variety of builds you can make. Perks are additionally grouped into "sets" (usually groups of 4, rarely 3), each set essentially being a super-perk that either directly powers up said perks or adds new stats/abilities that make them work better. A lot of perks actually belong to 2 or 3 sets, letting you efficiently multi-track-drift into multiple set bonuses at once. Optimizing this is hard given your limited perk slots, so it can be very difficult, but it is *extremely* rewarding to build a complex and efficient perk setup with 5+ set bonuses at once. Conclusion: All in all, a pretty good game with tons of content and easily a hundred hours of gameplay for a low price. The turn-based combat can start to feel repetitive after a few dozen hours, specially if you decide to grind, but the game gives you insane combat speed options and lots of auto skipping/prompt simplifying to try and solve the issue. No real complaints.

Incredibly deep and interesting game. My only regret is that I only "recently" discovered it, but at least less time for me to wait for the second chapter! The system is incredible, deep and with so many systems that it's a steal for the price. The masteries system is super layered and gives access to so many combinations and different playstyles even for the same character, granting almost infinite replayability. There are characters that bring entire new systems to the table (Giselle with beasts and Kylie with robots) and are deeper than entire games just by themselves. The art style is lovely and complements the game so well. 10/10 just waiting for the new chapter, ty Danylion for this masterpiece

SRPG를 원래 좋아하는 편이었고 스토브에서 게임 하다가 스팀으로 넘어옴 평가기준 스토브에서 약 270시간 스팀 106시간 일단 게임이 쉽지 않음 그래서 더더욱 캐릭터 특성을 연구하고 조합해서 전략을 짜게 됨 그리고 몹들 테이밍까지 해서 쓸 수 있다는게 너무 맘에 듦 BGM 정말 좋음 SRPG 좋아하시면 해보시는걸 추천드림 아쉬운점은 루나와 카터를 못씀..

What a wonderful hidden gem this is. The shortest way to describe this game is anime xcom but it is much more than this. It is honestly one of the best tactical rpgs I've ever played. The biggest strength of the game is the complexity of builds of characters. Both your units and enemy units have several equipable masteries (or skills) that give passive or active bonuses. Most masteries are part of mastery sets which further modify how these masteries work or giving more stats. These build up on each other so you might have a character who buffs all allies around them, one that applies 4 different debuffs on every attack or one that cuts down dozens of enemies in one turn. Every character has 2 major classes to create builds around with very little overlap. Even if two characters share a class their active skills are very different leading to slightly different playstyles even among the same class. While there are certainly classes that are stronger it is well balanced and every strong build will have some weakness you will need to play around. This becomes more relevant the later in the game you get because enemies will start to have pretty strong builds themselves. While the masteries are the main thing that will influence your game play there are several mechanics on top. A crafting system, a bonding system, food buffs, a motivation stat, special interactions with terrain and more. This is a bit overwhelming at the start of the game. The game does explain every system though. However the explainations are in broken english sometimes making it hard to understand at first. It takes a bit getting used to but I think almost all of these systems improve the game in some way. The story honestly supprised me. It is a unique and interesting story because of how relatively slow moving it is. This might sound like a bad thing at first but it doesnt mean there is nothing happening in the story. Instead it takes the time to show smaller developments in the character, their relationships and also the world around them. Even small side missions have at least one dialogue at the start, usually of enemies talking about you and current events in the story. This fits well with the overally story as this game is not the usual zero to hero type of story. It is more zero to a growing, learning neighbourhood hero that also establishes the world, importants characters, conflicts and a several possible big bads that the character will probably defeat in later games. If you enjoy xcom and creating character builds give this game a shot. It is definetly worth it.

每次想不开时候就玩这个游戏，失眠时候就玩这个游戏。玩一把就想开了
