i'm not going to cpy/paste the first steam review just like darksorceresse. I actually played the game and make my own review.
Tl;DR: If you are a fan of tactical rpg like wasteland or Xcom, you will be disappointed at best, mostly frustrated as tactical rpg dimension are failed. If you are a fan of previous bearded ladies games ( mutant year zero mainly) you will probably enjoy the game.
The DA and graphics looks very promising first, story feel interesting when you start the game. But be aware that the cold shower will happen very fast as you realise that the robot that is the second most important character is annoying asf, and that most character is just too stereotyped.
For the gameplay, let's get a good old Pros/con tab.
Pros : -Ambush system is great, even if repetitive -Weapons and spell are cool. -Battle map are good/ok.
Cons: -Auto pathing in battle is locked and sucks, you will end up behing blocked behind your cover or have to run in the middle of ennemie's overwatch. -Skill tree ? https://imgur.com/a/NRsicQC I can't call this a skill tree. -Your "party" is 3 character max. Which is limiting the tactical dimension a lot. -There is no point to take height in fight, you won't benefit from it. In fact, it's even worst cause you won't be able to shoot/use overwatch on ennemies that are under your position. -Ennemies almost never miss their shot. Even with 15% chance to hit. -Some even shot my character from downstair, throught the roof. Looks like arrow can pierce wall/roof. -Your skill don't even reset their cooldown between battle. For real ? Yes, really, this was the finisher to me that made me quit the game. ( Some review say this feature finally become "ok" when you unluck enough different skill)
I really wanted to enjoy the game but i felt like the tactical and rpg dimension was both failed.
I maybe will try the game in narrative mode trying to forgot it's supposed to be a tactical rpg and not a only a story driven game.
It's not very good imo it has the same combat of XCOM but does nothing to improve and is somehow worse. You WILL get mobbed by enemies unless you split up and sneak ambush lone enemies. The side character is a robot programmed to say dumb 90's black guy shit like"aww mayne I need dat bling bling"
SO many XCOM wannabe nowadays (including Girls' Frontline 2 which will probably stay in WIP forever), yet none manage to surpass the OG, it's hilarious.

The tactical and rpg feature are both a big fail to me.
