It seems like I'm in the mood for these types of games lately.
After recently finishing Warhammer Chaos Gate, I bought this a few days ago.
Initial impressions are that the combat is really good. I feel like they've taken the approach of battles to be really set-piece focused rather than enemies patrolling maps. It has its advantages and disadvantages, but for now I am really enjoying it this way.
I am playing on Roguelite (which defaults to Hard difficulty), so I only have one save and if I mess up I can only reload to the last place I was. For now that hasn't been an issue, but I have had some difficult battles when I don't pay attention to my positioning.
On a non-battle front, the main character seems to be a bit of an arse so I'm playing him like that too as going for a "Rightful" arse seems a bit odd to me.
The voice acting has been pretty good until this latest character Sir Yvain who seems to be reading an unrehearsed speech from a teleprompter.
I think overall, the game lacks a bit of feminine qualities with the only positive element being the narrator being a woman. Other than that it seems like just a whole bunch of gruff men playing together. I felt a bit the same in Warhammer.
If you enjoy this type of turn-based mission styled tactical RPG, it's quite fun, so definitely a recommend for now.
In my head though, XCOM2 is still the boss in this style of game.
In other words, I have replayed XCOM2 at least 10 times (not always until the endgame), but I can't see myself replaying Chaos Gate or this so many times (maybe when new DLC comes out, I'll play each one more time).
