Airship Syndicate has delivered one of the true masterpiece for old school JRPG turn based combat and intanstly become one of my favorites. It is so sad because the other "real" JPRG games itself feels have gone toward a weird direction in the last couple years.
Battle Chaser has a lot of old school JRPG points that I personally love. For instance, there are so many hidden bosses/rooms/areas that will giving you cool lore friendly equipment or rare loots for high level crafting material, and some of those secret events located at the early places that you have already visited also on top of that you need several hidden requirement (clues, materials or quest items) to access it, which is make your playthrough become more unexpected and inquisitive.
The other pros for me, the soundtracks of this game are superb! Especially when you fighting the bosses, rather than intense fast pace music (which is still okay for me) instead they giving you classy calm glorious tones. So perfectly fit with the arts and make the atmosphere feels pretty damn cool.
Voice actors are great and characters are loveable.
And don't forget the artworks! From now on, I'm starting to more appreciate the western comic stylish art, because arts in this game is simply touching my colour of tea. Don't get me wrong, I love anime-ish style too, but these moe moe cute girl chibi chan that many Japan delevopers try to sell nowadays really getting me tired.
Replayability for this game is good, it offers:
1. New game+. Carryover your party, skill, perk points and bestiary as well.
2. Random generated dungeon, so if you revisited the dungeon, you will get a difference layers;
3. Arena. Already got those sweet-sweet legendary equipments and afraid if there are none can't stand before you anymore? Fear not, endless Arena mode give you an unlimited challenge to coming back for (besides NG+);
4. Different build from perk system. If you even finished NG+, i doubtly you can completed all of those perk skills. So, for those player who loved grind, this is the way you get into it.

But of course, the game has its own problems and cons, especially it isn't coming from big developer. But the impact is minor atleast for me. Like a lot of high level monsters just a reskin from low level monsters, even few bosses will become the elite mobs later, so make the immersion a little bit down. And for the story, it is decent and i like it, but it is linear and straightforward, so the "role playing" part feel flavourless because you cannot make any decisions. And another thing that i wanted to pointing out is how quickly you get the new equipments. I know the feels when you saw those sweet green ^ stats, it is great, but it get more tedious if it will get replaced 5 minutes later because you already have found the new one.

I really hope the developer will make another titles for this game or even better its sequel, because the ending clearly open up a chance to make it possible. And if that happen, please dev, just add anything do not remove something from the current state of this game. That could be easily day one purchased from me.
