Gameplay

The game distinguishes itself through its blend of autobattler mechanics and a narrative framework that unfolds like a tabletop campaign.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
56 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I'm not really into PvP but like the idea of auto battler and it's a fun one, there is a lot of single player content so each run is different.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
So TLDR: Definitely recommend the game, playing through the story mode is fun and really scratches that auto battler itch.
Characters

17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
These provide a satisfactory level of strategic input from the player, beyond just roster-building.
Combat

With such a large variety of approaches that are impactful from your first combat to the end of a run the replayability of Tales & Tactics is a massive step above other games in the genre.
