About this game

Step into Esperia, a fantasy world full of magic—a lone seed of life meandering among the sea of stars. And on Esperia, it took root. As the river of time flowed, the once all-powerful gods fell. As the seed grew, each branch sprouted leaves, which became the races of Esperia.

You will play as the legendary mage Merlin and experience strategically tactical battles. It's time to dive into an unexplored world and embark on a journey to unlock a hidden mystery together with the heroes of Esperia.

Ratings and reviews

This game does a lot right and is hard to find critiques to make against it. Perhaps my favorite thing it does is that you only need to level up 5 heroes and get equipment for the 6 types of heroes once, and that automatically applies to all of them. The map is full of rewards you aren't required to get. The dialog doesn't force you to be dumb but has many flavor choices that don't change the story but does add immersion. I want to say much more, but I've run out of words I'm allowed.

Great visuals and VA, same sad issues and adventures in monetization. Story mode was intriguing, initial rewards are good, the models and art are fantastic. But balance is atrocious. There is no freedom to build your own party your way and be successful. Everything is geared around a set group of heroes or else you stagnate. Nothing as infuriating as developing a character only to have a fresh release of the same caliber just destroy yours and your party... and guess what everyone has it.

The game itself is pretty good, but it is highly automated, leaving you with a lot of time just waiting for a battle to finish. This is a Pay 2 Win game. Their prices are really high in ratio to how much entertainment value it provides. I also find it deceitful to make an offer on Revu requiring people to reach level 8 in 13 days, when you absolutely cannot without spending a significant amount more than what the offer is worth.
