Ooff, Migrana's sieges were the toughest so far--the boss felt easy after them. Now for Marahna! Achievements: 11 / 41 (27%)

Well, the "tower defense" parts are starting to drag badly. There're just not enough resources to counter them--palisades can't be placed anywhere (and their "available" slots are frequently useless), heroes are too slow to be relied upon when it comes to defending other fronts, spells eat too much SP for nothing (and end up being slow as well), there are too many ways to trigger a "defeat"... Maybe heroes with pile up favorably towards the endgame, but for now it's just a drag.

As the translator said @romhacking, it's an attrition game--mirrored maps from the start and all. Patience is key. https://www.twitch.tv/julianozuca

☆☆★★★ Just started this! Love the art direction and pixel art in general, but it's... oldschool slow.

Instead of giving the player full control of the jump it was simply shortened--for worse. Bullshittery here is off to a terrible start as well, good lord. Oh, and the hateful pseudo 8-way shooting system is still here. (The soundtrack is awesome though, gotta give that)

Despite always drooling over the screenshots in mags at the time I never tried a game in the series. It looks (and specially sounds) fantastic. Equipment/levels really make a difference--feels rewarding, but encourages grinding all the same. Well, the twin trees are intact. Now gotta find a place for that key?

Art direction-wise it reminds me of Escapee Go (DSi)--and that can only be a good thing Unlocked level 4--gotta remember it's in the night shift.

Thank you, though I actually haven't beaten it yet. That "Beat my backlog" comment was me playing with the name of my column by emulating the speech pattern of a character from the game I reviewed. But still, one day I will beat my backlog, and we'll celebrate together when I do, friend!
