Has anyone played this? Is it any good? I am somewhat intrigued by the concept of a console RTS.

It's pretty average. I wouldn't really recommend it unless you're a Vanillaware fan.
Plays like your standard RTS (harvest shit -> build shit -> attack/defend shit) with some minor quirks. It's interesting that it's set inside a building and the view is from the side instead of top-down, but in the end it doesn't change gameplay all that much. There is decent unit variety with strenghts and weaknesses, but noting breathtaking.
It's RTwP, so the interface isn't too annoying. But it can get slow at times, as some units take a long time to cross the map.
The graphics are great (Vanillaware always delivers) but the maps lack variety. The story is quite good if you don't mind the heavy Harry Potter vibe.

I'm hoping that the leap in quality will be as drastic as it was for Odin Sphere. Going from the original PS2 game to Leifthrasir was quite the shock, in a very good way.

The only vanillaware game i haven't played, can't decide if i should play it on my ps2 or wait for the remastered version, they have been censoring things in remastereds lately so i will wait to see if they changed anything. It's not like i'm out of games to play anyway.
