This game is excellent in it’s own right, with an exciting, catchy soundtrack that fits perfectly with the even better story. This game is fun, quirky, and self-aware in all the right places, and delivers a heartwarming story, despite it’s goofy nature of actors flipping around in spandex suits fighting monsters like traffic wizards and bird people.
That being said, the only downside one might find with this game is the necessity of near-perfection on it’s higher difficulty. If you enjoy lots of trial and error in simply choosing your characters for your squad (something you have to restart the entire game to change, by the way), then the hard difficulty is up your alley.
All in all, this is an excellent game for both sides of gamers. It can be played on easy and delivers an excellent story and allows new players to get a feel for turn based strategy games if they aren’t familiar with them, and offers an exceptionally difficult mode of the game where every turn could quite literally cost you the entire level if you misstep, and the medium difficulty for those who want a taste of both. It’s by no means perfect (as there are a few small bugs, I mainly noticed the occasional screen flash of certain sprites up close, but this doesn’t really hamper the gameplay). Definitely check this one out.
