True love letter to Isometric RPG genre. Stunning visuals, decent story and fun strategy gameplay. Recommended to anyone who is tired from bland open RPGs.
Miasma Chronicles is a fascinating experience that aims for a narrow target and hits it, for the most part. Making a serious, tactical RPG a vehicle for compelling storytelling is a tough proposition because the broad appeal of the latter is often at odds with the brutal vibes of the former. But with its tailored difficulty options, stealth options outside of combat, and, of course, the solid weight of the storytelling itself, Miasma Chronicles succeeds in its mission.
Totally forgot this game was coming out anytime soon, oops. Will probably wait for a sale, but I absolutely love that tactics fans can seemingly look forward to 3 or 4 solid releases a year these days.
Feels like there's finally enough interest in the genre for indies (and also rabbids) to experiment with new ideas instead of just reproducing XCOM and Final Fantasy Tactics over and over again.
