Biggest most massive Strategy game there is. Depth is unmatched. Hard to get into, but worth it.

Babbly story that mostly is uninteresting. You'll recognise the typical clichés and they keep the low quality dialogue going.
Weird and grindy gameplay, that in the end is quite bad.
Overall has performance issues and freezes.

Just can't recommend it at all.

I wish I could recommend it, but in the end it's too buggy and too messy and doesn't live up to expectations.

It has lots of AI issues both unit AI and player AI that makes the game very unsatisfying and frustrating to play. The single player campaign is full of scripting errors. Game is prone to crashes.

Overall it has not really improved much on the previous Cossack games either. Wish they did more with it.

Tries to be tactical squad based, but fails at it. It never feels tactical, UI is clunky as hell, overview is bad and overall you are very limited. It just doesn't hit the mark.

Controlling each character like it was a third person shooting, while still being turn based is really odd, separate movement point and action points also is odd, in practice with thresholds means each unit can move ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and shoot once, twice only if it hasn't been close to anything, since there are a bunch of small debuffs that remove a few AP which is enough to kill the ability to shoot twice.

Whole game is just unsatisfying and MEH.

Another great Yakuza game. Gameplay and game overall is lots of fun, even if story itself is not the best of the Yakuza games.

The game is too unique for its own good. It attempts to be a small party horde focused around abilities but with the heroes to have autonomity. Sadly this is where it fails. They tend to run around like headless chickens and get themself killed. Multiple parts of the game doesn't allow anyone to get killed, so then you straight up lose because of it. Since you also control 4 characters you can't micromanage a character refusing to go where it should.

On top of this it has very wacky physics with knockback and knockdown being a part of the game. Game also has friendly fire. Overall this makes the game very very clunky. I beat multiple levels by placing 3 characters in a corner and control 1 well. They require so much micromanagement to not run into a group of people and die that is more effective.

On top of control bugs, characters getting stuck, archers shoots through walls and floor, enemies stands still and doesn't attack, your characters stops attacking and overall the game comes off as trying something really grand but failing hard at it coming off as unfinished.

An odd game from an odd developer. Very little in the game is explained beyond the basic controls, you have to explore and figure it out yourself. You live the life of Ringo Ishikawa a deliquient high schooler, day by day as you go to school, fight gangs and whatever else you feel like doing.

The game is detailed but simplistic, which seems to be the pattern of the developer. The city itself is beatifully drawn and it's a very well made game. You come off after playing it thinking, "what did I just play?". I can't but recommend the game as odd as it is.

I don't know what I have played. What a superbly weird game. It's an artistic masterpiece, gameplay art and story is very coherent, but it's very very weird. You really feel like you live his life and you emotionally get into it.

It's very minimalistic but also extremely detailed. The game is like no other. It's a fairly difficult game that is quite punishing, but that just sell the whole game even better.

Really feels like a great remake of the Yakuza 2. It's super japanese and hilarious with so many fun minigames.
