Children of Zodiarcs Review — An SRPG With the Heart of the Cards

Cardboard Utopia aims to mix the SRPG genre with board game mechanics in their story-driven title Children of Zodiarcs.

What does it take to stand out in the strategy RPG genre? The SRPG genre has more or less held the same systems and mechanics since it first began and was popularized with the release of games like Final Fantasy Tactics and Tactics Ogre. Since then, many following SRPG games seem to mimic these battle systems without adding that gripping element that made those titles so memorable: the story. However, that might have changed with Children of Zodiarcs.

[...]

Children of Zodiarcs is the game that story-driven SRPG fans have been waiting for. It’s evident when playing through that the developers at Cardboard Utopia are passionate about delivering a product that could potentially fall in line with some of the genre’s greats. However, by adding unique mechanics and a focus on character growth, Children of Zodiarcs stands out as simply a great SRPG.

Score: 9/10
