Arcadian Atlas

All I want out of the gaming industry is more or new Final Fantasy Tactics style games. While not perfect, this game hits a lot of those points for me. This game and Fell Seal have been great for me in those regards.

The pixel art is really well done, but the character portraits could be better. Was hoping for more side quests to do, as the game was short. Finished it in about 21 hours. The raccoon/red panda unique units didn't add much to the story, and the last recruitable character came so late, I'd never need to use her. I was hoping to level up my main 5-6 characters, but never got close to maxing out their advanced class skills. I enjoyed the game, and I'm wanting more content to play.

I think this is a great game. It has a lot of flaws which is why its not rated higher. Don't get me wrong, it is absolutely worth the purchase and play. Its a great nostalgic call back to the tactics JRPGs of old. The flaws include the lack of camera control, limited class system, no item actions, and lack of information on battles. All things that FF Tactics had about 20yrs ago. I will say - if this is the foundation for future Arcadian games moving forward, then it has a BRIGHT future ahead.

Having done a second play through on max difficulty i only noticed damage differences enemy still steps in its own traps which makes for its own entertainment i guess. I played twice because level 38 came a bit fast to try everything out but since update its now level 39 i didn't realy notice changes but i was level 37 when it happened i don't plan a third play through so you will have to see for yourself. In the end game the enemy seemed too shy to show off the advanced classes never really leaving the starting 4 classes behind which was a shame with 8 other classes to make for new challenges to face that never really happened. The story was the main attraction to this game otherwise its 4 classes fighting Fun fact option button held down shows what mystery moves the enemy is doing found out level 37. The story changes the main characters which may conflict anothers view making them leave the party. Most fights you are out numbered recruit spares to be ready for surprises.

Nice art. Cute raccoon with no respec. Shaman magic attack all, drains all, sap all, heals all. Don't use it if you want to challenge yourself. Hire new recruit is very cheap.
