  • Complex characters
  • All-encompassing character creation process
  • Satisfying tactical scope for skilled planning
  • Complex decisions and consequences
  • Intuitive use of resources
  • Varied random encounters
What could be improved:
  • Limited explanation of certain mechanics
  • Static battle animations with disconnect from choices made
  • Lengthy animations during combats can be tedious at times
  • Steep learning curve
