Fae Tactics Review

Indie Turn-Based Tactical RPG is a string of words that can be hard to get immediately excited about. In a genre with legacy stalwarts like Final Fantasy Tactics and darlings like Fire Emblem, to be able to carve out an identity within such a crowded space is undoubtedly a challenge. When Fae Tactics was announced earlier this year, its16-bit graphical style immediately piqued my interest, but part of me expected it to be a bunch of borrowed ideas that other games have simply done better. Needless to say, I was very wrong.

Underneath its colorful, GBA-style exterior is one of the most challenging and inventive SRPGS I've played in years.

Fae Tactics is not really like other tactical RPGs that I've played, despite sharing a lot of foundational DNA as some of the greats. While other similar games have ended up feeling a fair bit more derivative, Fae Tactics's manages to stand out on pure inventiveness and imaginative structure. A unique narrative framework, distinct focus on summoning mechanics, high level of variety, and smartly-designed challenge makes Fae Tactics a near must-play for fans of tactical RPGs.

Score: 9/10
