Reverie Knights Tactics

Reverie Knights Tactics is a good tactical RPG experience, but one that falls short of a top-shelf one overall.

The tactical part of Reverie Knights Tactics is mildly interesting in its 'puzzle' nature, if it does not wear out its welcome through heavy RNG outcomes. However, severe loss of quality elsewhere really drags the experience down, the levelling/stats system is fairly boring, the character design is bad, and the story is utterly forgettable for how long it drones on between combat sections. There might be something here worth salvaging, but it would need to be hacked up and pasted back together first.

Reverie Knights Tactics does what it says on the tin.

Reverie Knights Tactics is an isometric grid-based tactics game with an interesting story and fun gameplay, albeit with a few quirks.

Reverie Knights Tactics lives up to the legacy of Tormenta and builds a great story with very challenging and satisfying combat. Despite some technical problems, it deserves the attention of players.

Reverie Knights Tactics is a great RPG, with a unique art style, captivating characters, a deep story and rich in details. Combat is challenging and tactically deep, and requires the player to think ahead when making decisions. Even those who don't enjoy a challenge will enjoy it playing in Story mode. It is a highly recommended game for tactical RPG enthusiasts, especially fans of Holy Avenger and the Tormenta universe.

The plot and the lack of localization to Spanish are undoubtedly 2 of the factors that I disliked the most of all, something that is minimally worsened by a gameplay that although it is not bad, I did not find it really interesting either. The latter would surely have been easier to ignore if at least, the narrative aspect turned out to be more interesting, something that as I already mentioned, probably is not for the least pretentious player of all. However, if they are one of those who enjoy this genre, perhaps I could tell them to get hold of it during some sale, but if I would not say that they simply skip this title, since I do not see it recommended for players who are not habitual of turn-based combats.‎

Reverie Knights Tactics is a solid experience for anyone looking for a tactical battle title with a classic look and plot. There are no major innovations, but all the core systems work well, offering plenty of ways to deal with the combat puzzles at its core. Aurora is a solid protagonist, and the rest of the cast is likable.

Overall though, a complete run with side quests and puzzles should run about ten or so hours showing you how one set of decisions pans out before going back in for the other set. Hosting a solid combat system and visual presentation followed by a good musical track, I look forward to seeing what comes next from 40 Giants Entertainment as I don’t think they are quite done yet with Reverie Knights Tactics.

Reverie Knights Tactics is a fun tactical RPG with an interesting storyline and many mechanics to play around with. While the controls might take some getting used to, the overall gameplay is solid.
