If you can't stand turn based combat similar to the old Final Fantasy games, then you won't like this game. If you enjoy that turn based strategy style of combat I believe you will LOVE this game. You basically assemble a party of four heroes and go exploring in the dungeons of the game including "The Darkest" of the dungeons. There are traps and enemy battles along the way. The various character types have different abilities and you have to think about your choices. Each charater has permadeath so when they're gone, they're gone. The game has persistent saves so there's no going back and loading an earlier save state. The art and style of the game is unique and beautiful. I am writing this review with 11 hours into the game and I can see many more hours being poured into this title. Don't let the price tag scare you away. $19.99 is a good price point for a game like this. The game is quite challenging by the way. I got frustrated early on until I figured out some of the finer strategic points. Easy to grasp, hard to master. The enemies are interesting, the mood is dark, the game is fun. I suggest it.
