This actually looks pretty neat. My only concern is that the combat might be a little simplistic and too easy.

Unlike their previous titles which were phone2PC ports this one is PC only game (currently) and it does look interesting to me - but it has a sort of EAlike roadmap (online duels in november? dafuq?).

Not sure what to do. Probably just wishlist it and grab if I ever get me enough time for everything and if the word next month is that mmoization didn't ruin the game.

Like JDR mentioned about, I'm a tad concerned about how easy the combat might be. I look forward to thoughts from any here that give it a whirl.

I would be playing this like crazy, were it not for the massively amazing Valkyria Chronicles 4 that I'm currently reducing to rubble. Then there is XPiratez and The XCOM Files. Then FF Tactics PS1 (which is way better than stupid War of the Lions). Then there is Tactics: Ogre for which I'm waiting for v1.0! I asked the author of the latter: would it be faster to reach v1.0 if he would be paid to do it? He responded: "Nope!" with a convincing explanation. :(

I'm playing this now and it's pretty good. The later missions are fairly difficult, and I've had to reload a few times on some of them.
