Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
134 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay is enjoyable (as a turn base strategy game), can make a lot of different strategies depending on party members, story is decent - not loaded with details, just enough to make you locked in, characters are in the most part interesting, each with a little background, some variations on the side quest endings.
