Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark

I wish I could give a neutral review. The game has some great ideas with the class system. The combat is more than fine. The story is alright, only one twist I did not saw coming, but by the end it really felt like it was overstaying its welcome. The grind is real though, way too grindy for my likings and that is why I ultimately clicked the thumbs down.

This is pretty much my favorite Final Fantasy Tactics like game. Give it a shot. Really good game.

The story and character sprites are very amateurish, but this game was clearly made with a lot of love. If you love Final Fantasy Tactics, then this game is the closest I have found to reliving that feeling. In fact, I think the game's systems are better than FFT. The Ability Point grind is very friendly - you get a bunch for completing story missions, patrols, hunts, it spills over to your entire roster, you can idle grind AP/items/GP from the missions and monsters DLC - perfect for a gamer who doesn't have a lot of time. There is enough depth in the combat to make you think about your builds and what you are doing (at least, until you get Warmage afaik...), and even on the easy difficulty setting, if you play recklessly, you will get punished! Environmental hazards are meaningful and to be taken advantage of (or to get abused by...) Tons of improvements over FFT as well. Look at the map as you deploy. Re-equip and re-assign your units to counterpick before you deploy! No random encounters - you either want it and activate it, or you don't. The music is surprisingly good, considering my negative judgment of the story and character sprites. I cannot recommend this game enough if you like strategy tactical RPGs.

very good game, but need more DLC and mission :D It's like Final fantasy tatic with more improvement, now it just need more story and more adventure DLC.

The gameplay reminds me of Final Fantasy Tactics with a couple of modern updated systems. The graphics are growing on me and the story is interesting so far. Can't beat it at the price on the summer sale.

The game has some decent gameplay .... It kind of scratched my FFT or Tactics Ogre Reborn itch. However, the art style looks like the flash games you got in trouble for playing in highschool in computer class. It is so bad and the characters are so lame and forgettable that i dont think i can play anymore . I really wanted to like this but it is not worth it even on sale in my opinion. Wait for September for the remake of Final Fantasy Tactics.

Great game if your a fan of Final Fantasy Tactics style RPG's

My favourite Fantasy Tactical RPG. The classes and combat systems are super interesting and fun to discover. You don't need to worry too much about items, going once evrey couple missions to a shop is enough, which for me is fantastic. The music is a great company and the story is good enough to keep you playing, but neither is outstanding. Overall a GREAT game, specially at this price.

Did you ever play Final Fantasy Tactics? Did you like that game? If so, you'll Fell Seal. It's got a different art style and different naming conventions, but the guts of FFT were definitely beloved by this developer. I've had a ton of fun playing this game so far and a good deal of the same strategies from FFT work here as well. Aside from copying FFT really well, this game has its own unique story, setting, and universe. I don't think it's quite as deep as FFT's universe and story, but it's entertaining on its own, kind of like the different between "The Lord of the Rings" and a good Fantasy Anime. The Lord of the Rings is sweeping, epic, and deep, but a good Fantasy Anime may not create its own language for elves and go deep into themes, but it could still be filled action, adventure, and fun. That's Fell Seal: it's not breaking the mold on its fantasy, but it's not a bad story and combined with the FFT gameplay, it's fun. And as a really, really big plus, the game has a developer console you can enable. I see this is a MASSIVE pro for the game, because if you don't have time to grind or you want try all the classes and all the gear without feeling like you're losing your mind, you can have anything you need with a couple button pushes. I loved FFT, but damn, it took a LONG TIME to get heroes fully built up, but here, I knew what I wanted from FFT here and was able to make it no time. I'm 12 hours in and definitely recommend it.

FFT minus the FF. Tactics Ogre without the Ogre. You get the idea. This is the best Tactics clone on Steam. Tons of options to dial in difficulty to your liking. Lots of familiar gameplay and classes. A good enough story. 100% worth it at full price but often on sale for dirt cheap when it's an absolute steal.

After all these years, still no Final Fantasy Tactics on Steam? "Fine, I'll do it myself."

Simple , good enough, story is acceptable.

great throwback to the old FFT game from 97.

Good game. [Too lazy to write a review, and Steam won't let me just do a thumbs-up without text :( ]
