Just started playing this, it's a cute little game.
The writing is a bit cringe in the typical modern twee-D&D style where all the characters are cute and quirky, but who cares about story in a straight-up dungeon crawler.

This is a tactical combat RPG with a party of 4. While the party is pre-designed, you can re-spec it if you want, giving them your own race, class, skill, and feat choices.
It's a linear sequence of combat encounters to go through. Think Knights of the Chalice 2 or Solasta if they had no exploration. It's just the raw character building and combat. As such, it's a pretty solid game.

There's not much to it but if you like party-based tactical dungeon crawls this is good fun, especially for the price.
It uses Pathfinder 2E rules which I'm not familiar with but the tooltips do a good job of explaining everything.

This game seems like an interesting way to learn the system.

Thanks for sharing this. Not a fan of anime stuff, but it does look like a nice game on paper. I'm not familiar with Pathfinder that much, but isn't Pathfinder just a D&D OGL SRD reskin with elves having black alien eyes?

Played through a couple of encounters now and it's extremely easy, at least on normal difficulty.
Might replay later on a harder setting.

Level cap of four, but fully moddable... Anyone know what the mod scene is like for this game? Seems like a pretty definite "buy" for me but who knows.

Just completed the main campaign. It's indeed way too easy on normal.
Optional scenarios on the other hand...

Each of them are different kind of challenging ranging from fighting a proper rival party to a vastly more deadlier version of that fight against sneaky demon who goes berserk upon half health.
Quite a sizeable amount of classes implemented here, so plenty of different party combination to try out despite level 4 being a max character level.
Edit: Just completed all of them.

Hoo boy! That last one was difficult.

Finished the main campaign, liked it well enough. Pathfinder 2e certainly has been d, though I like the way this handles spells more than 5e really. Glad the dev didn't bother with round limits for buffs.
