Valiant Tactics

I've given up on this. Progression is abysmal between runs. You can keep a single item into the next round and it's honestly not enough to make a difference. And of course if you didn't find anything better than the previous run, then your last run didn't actually give you any progress at all. Even using some cheap tactics like maxing the marksman, sooner or later you run into a boss that one hit kills a single character per turn, and then it's pure luck if he picks off your best unit or not. Spending 20 minutes on a run and then being one shot killed isn't fun. If you look at the global achievements and just how few people have defeated even the first mini-boss, it looks like a lot of other people aren't finding it fun either. It's a shame - with a little adjustment it could be really good. Adjust some of the cheaper bosses. Allow difficulty levels that would let you keep more items. Allow you to keep a single levelled character instead of an item, perhaps. But as it stands, this is more frustrating than fun. Best of luck to the developers for a good effort, but not for me.

Very fun, simple, but at the same time engaging and addictive game, 10/10 would recommend! The game is very easy to grasp, essentially you build out a team of heroes and go on dungeon runs. You get upgrades, buy new weapons & potions, etc. The graphics are crisp and the difficulty is well balanced.

Shönes Taktik Rougelike

In simple terms, the game is challenging but fun. I love when a game feels unbeatable at first, but becomes manageable once you discover the right strategy (I’m not there yet, lol). I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys tough roguelikes.

Muy roguelike, del estilo de los que se sienten injustos a veces, pero en el límite de querer reintentarlo y (normalmente) llegar un poco más lejos cada vez. Hay progresión de personajes y gestión de inventario, pero está muy simplificado. Pero aunque muchos aspectos de la estrategia estén simplificados sigue quedando una buena parte de estrategia de combate por posicionamiento, uso de habilidades con cooldowns y sinergia entre clases. La única meta progresión es poder quedarte con un objeto de la partida anterior, cosa que me gusta, para de nuevo tirar más hacia el género roguelike tradicional.

The combat controls are poorly developed, and the intermissions don't seem to allow easy camping to heal, which heightens the likelihood of failure by an unreasonable and unrealistic degree. I don't know anyone stupid enough to just charge bleeding into battle without resting well enough to be actually healthy enough to be ready for combat. The design just leaves a lot to be desired.

Valiant Tactics — игра душевная, но на любителя. За 3.5 часа меня больше всего зацепили диалоги — они реально продуманные, заставляют думать. Прокачка требует вдумчивости, каждая ошибка в бою аукнется потом очень больно. Но есть и серьёзные минусы: интерфейс местами сырой и нелогичный, приходится совершать лишние телодвижения, чтобы понять, что вообще происходит. И нет метапрогрессии между забегами, что для такого жанра странно. Советую только фанатам сложных тактических RPG, которые готовы прощать неудобства ради глубоких механик.
