Great continuation of the first game , experienced some bugs which were a bit annoying but overall game was great , there was a bug where you couldn't prepare your characters starting places until you restarted the game and if you had the same copy of a trinket , you just cannot switch that trinket and you are stuck with it on that character. There are training missions which are very well made tbh , some of them…

Glorious! Beautiful continuation of 1, original and breathtaking fantasy story. Variation in story adds replayability too if you want. The turn based battles are tactical and never feel too rng since there isn't much rng, there is a lot of cool variety in characters and also in the attacks they can do and tactics they can employ. there's even a cool bear unit if you know how to get it!

The game is good and I wish I could recommend it, but do not buy it. Even more than the first, this game crashes CONSTANTLY after winning battles and you will lose lots of progress. The issue has existed since release and the devs know but won't fix it because they blame everything on steam, even though there are millions of games on steam without these issues. Save your money it is practically unplayable.
