Finished Axiom Verge. Loved the game! Got lost once, couldn’t figure out where to go, other than than didn’t have any issue.

Playing Regalia: Of Men and Monarch now. It’s a tactical RPG, kinda like Fire Emblem, but with a lot less serious tone.

One interesting aspect is that your whole team got experience, that is, there is no individual level, it’s connected with your whole party, so doesn’t matter which people you took in the combat and which stayed back. There’s also no perma-death. Dungeons are made of different “nodes”, combat nodes, quest node (text adventure) and camp node. You can go to camp node to revive anyone who has died in the dungeon, but you can only do it once per dungeon.

Other than dungeons there is a kingdom building and social aspect, you can spend time with people to raise your affinity, and get additional perks. Not a very deep system, but there are enough characters that it is going to take a bit of time to level up all relations.

I am still at chapter too, it’s probably going to take a few weeks to complete this one.

What about all of you? What have you been playing lately?

    I have, its very good at that it sets out to do. The platforming could use a bit of work in some areas, but the battle system, story, and charm is all amazing. Love that game. I hope they make a second game!
