crying pissing shitting myself that there isn't and maybe won't ever be another game like this
It's hard for me to describe what I like about berwick so much without gushing and crying and sobbing so I'll keep it brief lol
The gameplay really encapsulates strategy: by no means is it a growths game (made apparent enough by the generally low growth rates), and don't expect to blaze through the game with one single overpowered unit. What I mean to say is, Berwick really motivates you to learn every mechanic and utilize them efficiently, and use your resources in the best way possible. Every unit feels useful in some way or another, and Berwick further emphasizes that by highlighting the importance of different resources, weapons and skills these units can use. The mechanics all blend so excellently with each other, and even something like the turn order system can make or break a situation for you. I'm very, very fond of how Berwick handles all these things in a way that made me want to strategize as much as possible AND have fun doing it! It ends up being such a distinct and unique experience from pretty much every other srpg I've played, and I find myself addicted to it.
The story and characters are for the most part, fantastic. Berwick's plot takes an interesting direction in regards to your lord and his army's role in the overall war, and such a unique take really makes it stand out from its contemporaries, even if it may not feel as "grand". Furthermore, Berwick takes the extra step to flesh out almost all of its characters, as much as possible, be it through giving them a role in the main story, or their own little well-written sub stories. I was attached to most everyone in some way, or at least had strong feelings about them.
I could talk about some negatives but honestly I am so uninterested, and frankly the enjoyment I had with berwick saga far outweighs any of the frustration I had with it.
It's a dang fantastic srpg, I definitely recommend it.
