I -really- enjoyed the way it complimented the narrative in the game.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
14 of 33 sampled reviews raised it
In addition to its story, The Pale City makes an effort to really test your skill in its turn-based combat which requires careful decision-making.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
10 of 33 sampled reviews raised it
This'll seem like a turn off for people who enjoy having multiple people in the party in most other turn-based RPGs, but The Pale City has gameplay that is challenging enough to where you won't really mind it.
