I have very little patience for turn-based gameplay, but despite Koudelka having the slowest battles I've ever experienced, its charms and quirks stole my heart within minutes, instantly making it one of my favorite games. Can't wait to try Shadow Hearts next!

Nice to see a different opinion about this game. I myself couldn't stand the pacing and the slowest battles ever, along with the confusing atribute system. Glad you enjoyed, cuz I couldn't.

I think it helps that I'm not particularly into turn-based battles to begin with, so I was playing more for other aspects. I love how quirky and janky it is, the story and music and aesthetics, so I was really into it. But if you want a good RPG or fun mechanics, I don't really think this makes the cut. Sorry you didn't enjoy it, but I totally understand why!
