Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark

Early Access Review Fell Seal: Arbiters Mark is a turn-based tactical RPG Heavily inspired by the classic Final Fantasy Tactics. Every Battle is an arduous Battle that requires a lot of Strategy. Positioning is paramount because accuracy depends on where You stand in Relation to the Enemy. Every Enemy has a List of Strengths and Weaknesses that You can exploit. In addition, there are countless Buffs and Debuffs to use, and a Variety of Attacks to Choose from. Even before the Battle begins, you pick a Class and an Underclass to have more Versatility. Each Class leads to new Classes, and if You stick to a Discipline, You'll be rewarded with a stronger Version. However, If You choose to diversify Your Class Choices, You can find advanced Classes that Match the Build you're creating. The Customization options available to the Fighters are huge, and You can completely refine every Aspect of Your Warrior gang. You need to find your Strategy quickly when you clash with the Dangers of the Country, which can be either human or monstrous. There is a wide Range of Opponents to be met and everyone needs to be dug into their Memory to pass this Journey. If one of Your Party then falls thankfully, it's not permanent, although it has Consequences. Injuries must be managed by letting them out of one fight or another. Therefore, it is important to have a large Number of Allies in order to survive. If you lean too much on one Person and they get hurt, you're going to have to fight without resting them. The existing Systems make the Gameplay very satisfying. The Loop of Fighting, unleapping Skills and then Fighting means you're always uncovering something New; Always build on the next powerful Class. It's the Kind of Grind that makes these Games so easy to get lost in, and it's done masterfully here. You're always going to want to make another Fight because after almost every single one you're Able to take your Team to the next Level. The Fights are against gorgeous hand-drawn Levels and Backgrounds that make everyone a Joy just to look at him. The Character Portraits are similarly simple for the Eyes and give the Main Characters you see a great Personality. With the unnamed Characters you know, that falls a little by the Wayside, because their Portraits rarely fit their Sprite, which feels distinct when the Rest of the Graphics are of such high Quality. The Sprites also look slightly unloved compared to the Prospects the World offers, even if this could change as the Game nears its End. It's hard to believe the current Build isn't the last Game where everything already feels so good. Of course, there are UI improvements here and there that could be made and some Things could be better explained, but as long as Fell Seal Continues as it is, it will be Able to reach dizzying Heights on Release. While the Story feels a bit tropical at first, it still has Some depths later. If You crave the golden Age of tactical RPGs, then this is a Game worth keeping an eye on.
