Fuga: Melodies of Steel

This might be my new favourite game series. I love the gameplay loop and have been very much hooked with the over arcing story at this point.

In the end, this gets a thumbs up for being well-written. The turnbased RPG gameplay meshes well with the storyline and is relatively clever and thematic, but the narrative turns on it being [i]difficult[/i] which it really wasn't in my experience. There are multiple ways to make it easier (such as Fast Mode), but no way to make it harder. Particularly jarring is the ability to reseat your characters every three combat turns, a limitation which is not restrictive enough to be truly limiting with some minimal planning, but confining enough to be irritating. The game was clearly made for a double playthrough; a fraught first game and then a freer blueskies "New Game +". Beating the full thing on the first playthrough made the narrative a bit awkward and left me slightly bemused, but it was still a decent story with good character.

it has genuinely been so long since ive played a game this good its so good that i haven't gotten sleep over it and this is only the first one im genuinely excited to play 2 & 3 the story the combat the npcs all well made and beautifully designed if i had to put it into a rating its a perfect 10/10 definetly a game you will remember but if you need any other reason to play this game just look at boron my beautiful chud son i would die for him
