Why players love itThings to know
78% of themes are praise22% are divided0% are complaints
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
47 of 131 sampled reviews raised it
The tactical combat is much richer and not restricted to one dimension as is the case with DD.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
36 of 131 sampled reviews raised it
For example, with Storm Guard, by mid to late game you have more possibilities for skill loadouts for synergies between members of your team.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
30 of 131 sampled reviews raised it
The story telling is good and the voiceover is done well, but I'll mention it in cons too.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
27 of 131 sampled reviews raised it
The Storm Guard appears deceptively simple, but if you get past the one-man-studio Unity graphics, the production value is rock solid.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
27 of 131 sampled reviews raised it
There are enough classes to run into (while you pick from a randomized recruit roster, the availability of specific classes is random) to give enough replayability for several runs if only to learn the strength and weaknesses of each class.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
25 of 131 sampled reviews raised it
One of the ways it accomplishes its goal at being a pretty solid strategy/RPG hybrid is its way of throwing difficulty at the player immediately from the start, with the first area you bring your small little team of dudes to.
