Tahira: Echoes of the Astral Empire

The rotoscoped animation is well done, as is the soundtrack and story; visuals are old-school 2D and I encountered no bugs.

The setting is off the beaten track, it has a lovely minimalistic comic art style, the combat is hard but not ridiculously so, and there is even the occasional banter in the dialogues.

And the fights are large-scale, multi-staged, arenas which make for some pretty triumphant moments if you use the battle mechanics correctly to your advantage.

I've been a strategy and turn/based strategy fan since the term came into existence, and in Tahira, was content with the level of balance and difficulty that I ran into.

The graphics/animation are hand-crafted and look wonderful, similarly, the sound effects and music quality are well chosen.

Tahira has an immersive soundtrack and simple to learn gameplay that has deep tactical options (with a really cool ambush mechanic).
