Looks very faithful aesthetically. Only the cutscenes are off. Not sure how Dotemu keeps managing this, but after SOR4 expectations are high. I wouldn't have high hopes though because Western teams really can't do good tactics games, at least not the small-scale J-tactics type. Not sure what "roguelike elements" means in this genre either. Probably grinding lol. The "indies" have debased the term to mean the opposite of what it was meant to. Never heard of the studio either. They have two random genre games on Steam. They probably think tactics games are easy to make lol. I expect this to be a 3/5 at best.
Seems to be only on PC for now.
