A solid SRPG with a strong Fire Emblem influence - I'd rank it over a good chunk of the FE games, even. A key difference is that instead of a permadeath toggle, allies retreat when their HP hits 0 but your reward money decreases if you let it happen. It's a unique take on the issue that I really appreciate.

The art is nice, the setting is a fun alt-history version of the French Revolution, and the unit classes are built to match. I enjoyed it more often than not, but the last few chapters can get frustrating as SRPGs do - even when you've invested in the objective best class (light infantry with the +1 range promotion).

Another pain point is that some of the side missions are actual puzzles with fixed stat rosters and a single solution. It wasted a bit of time before I just gave up and looked the solutions up online. The upshot is that side missions are mostly for achievement hunting more than essential in-game benefits.

Overall, I enjoyed my time with the game and I'm definitely looking forward to a sequel.
