Royal Frontier

released on Mar 18, 2022

The wagons are packed and an eager group of settlers are ready to head out. But the journey is full of dangers. Treacherous terrain, savage bandits and ancient monsters have been the end of many settlers. So they turn to you to protect them. Choose your party, move across the map like a board game, and battle monsters. The combat is a nuanced mix of turn-based and time-based approach, with attacks, specials and items make each encounter unique.

Saw this recommended on Reddit, and it was very cheap on sale, so figured why not. I got just about what I paid for, which is a simple little roguelite-ish type turn-based combat game where you pick a path, Slay the Spire style, and try to survive through three boards. Hard at first, but you unlock permanent upgrades and, after just a couple of hours, you end up so strong that you win every time. Not much depth to the combat and the only run variety is in which items you find, but the items are very uninteresting and are only minor stat upgrades for each individual character, which essentially means that the run variety is nearly zero.

Still, it's well-made for what it is and the mere hours it lasts, has cute graphics and is inoffensive fun for a few hours. I was looking for a chill, lazy weekend type of game and got one, though it's hard not to wish that they had taken this solid foundation and built something a bit longer, harder and more varied.
