Game-specific assessment

Pros & Considerations

Battles

The player simultaneously directs units and dodges enemy bullet patterns with the Wisp cursor, creating a tactical system unlike almost any other SRPG.

Positioning, movement ranges and unit composition make map control central to success

Progression

Classes, equipment or squad development create long-term tactical planning beyond individual battles

◇Consider

Learning curve: Rules, terminology and battle flow are unusually complex.
