Despite not enjoying Ogre Battle, this was a blast. Gorgeous presentation does a lot of the heavy lifting. All the fun for me lies in the menuing. Unit optimization, army management, seeing the results of my preparation. It can really drive up game time if you're into micromanaging. Unfortunately, the game is easy and offers little variety in the map design. It isn't worth investing that much time preparing. The second half of the game was a formality I was ready to be done with. It's a shame because all the systems are constantly begging to be tinkrered with. Maybe a challenge run in the future.
When I'm still making mistakes related to the controls 30 hours in, using the button control scheme, I feel it's safe to say it is not very intuitive. Too predictable with three visits to the same three areas. That lack of variety combined with the slow pace and late game padding wears down my enthusiasm for adventure. Characters and dungeons are a treat but I don't see myself revisiting this one.
