The problem with the combat, is that when it is just you against a handful of spiders, or other enemies the battles move at a decent pace, but when you have your full team against a full team of bad guys, we are look at around 20 characters, it takes forever for a single turn to complete. The actually combat in the game contains enough weight and reaction to make it feel like you are doing something, striking enemies with your weapon or casting a spell upon them has them reacting as you might expect, the same can be said for when you and your allies are attacked. So actually thinking about where you need to go is just as important as moving there.

Each character has a set area that they can use to move around in, the first section is a darker colour than the rest, which defines the sections that you can move and attack or interact with things, once you move into the lighter coloured space, you are only allowed to move. The story starts off pretty predictable and tales of revenge are never all that exciting, but thankfully the cast of characters make it so, Cassia herself is not a helpless person, she is willing to get out and fight for what she wants.įighting here is where the game has its biggest struggle, it is a really smart system, with you being able to direct the character to do more than one thing per turn, if they don’t move to far. After the tutorial, Cassia escapes and vows to seek revenge on the people who put her in there, but in order to do that, she needs to build a team around her she can trust, so she recruits the characters from the first game.
