Fighting in tight spaces was the rotating John Wick Deckbuilder. It sounds entertaining, but amazing, it worked. In each turn you had three “shoots” that could be spent on cards that hit, kicked and hit the heads into a pleasant variety of painful surfaces. It was necessary to balance using your valuable momentum to hit enemies or move to a safe and sound position.

It is easier to say than to do, because the “tight spaces” of the title were not misleading and it was straightforward to fall into boxing. If you could master the movement in this, you would laugh because the best idea of ​​the game was to push and run your opponents in the fire line. Then you will finish your turn and happily watch the houses fight for you.

In this continuation we left the aesthetics of Superhot-Meet-Casino-Royale-Bond to play in the fantasy world. Knights, rogues, wizards and all your favorite clues are ready to drive skeletons, rock monsters and peat bog standards around recent tight spaces.

The title is a solid word and it is certainly not an ugly game. But I can’t stop thinking that this has a similar problem for the Refantazio metaphor, in which something special was lost by moving from such a unique style infinitely covered with the basis of medieval fantasy.

At least it is as good as his predecessor. For a long time, close Exactly Like his predecessor, depending on who you start with. Brawler is based on blows, kicks and other flavors of the attack, which will be very known to anyone who played the fight. My beloved senior tricks, such as pushing enemies into a fire line, worked as a charm. Still cold, but I waited for the second shoe to fall and it would start to feel more like a continuation.

Fortunately, when the second shoe fell, it fell more than one of the brutal jumps of the game. There are two more fascinating characters to try (from more to find), and ultimately you will unlock the possibility of recruiting more party members in Taverns. Each party member adds another pair of combat hands and an additional momentum in each turn, but also another sensitive responsibility that you need to keep before the damage. Fortunately, more than they earn on this, introducing many entertaining toys to these scraps.

The fighter can equip their weapons and armor, which gives them huge injuries and a shield that regenerates in each turn, which is absurd when learning the ropes. Latvians can rule arches to distant strikes and have various types of insidious movements. This possibly covers my favorite card in the whole game, which makes the enemies change direction, and then hit what needy juice stands. The sorcerers have weaker compact circuits, but more than they make up for lightning, healing and power to security.

Of course, all this recent power has its own price, and this is a constantly developing beast of enemies. Soldiers, thieves and other human enemies with whom you stand during opening hours could easily be in the last match (Archer is really just a removable user of the pistol), but gradually give way to places that shoot at a fiery ball, or cowards who evoke skeletons to fight for them.

When you have a varied trio of heroes that are heading against more fascinating mystical enemies, this continuation begins to sing. Stress associated with an attempt to win in the battle without a indefinite loss of a member of the event is wonderfully tense, capturing this magic XCOM.

And life is really low-cost in this Roguelike. You only densely finished with an open window by throwing it out and losing hours of progress. Then it’s until the beginning. On a par with a course in this bad species, of course, but it is often it plot Hours to lose and a key test of one of these games is whether you want to jump straight to the next choice.

I often did this, especially with a recent starter, to try another efficiency for another weapon and armor. But the campaign is still too stiff to stop repeatable faster than I would like. In the previous match you headed against a series of gangs. When you took off the gang, you unlocked the next one and from there you could start recent runs. The problem was that you would be in Starter Health and without recent or improved cards, thanks to which from a later campaign an boost in difficulty, which was usually too frustrating.

Knights “solves this problem, simply completely removing this option. Death and everything is on the way back to the beginning. This is not the most elegant solution, and the newly discovered love for telling stories seems equally badly served. Why do I have to go the same bloody conversation with the bartender every time I start a new run?

At least various playable characters change the answers slightly, but you will still read the same general fantasy visual novel to get to the fighting. The side search mix slightly, but repetitive levels (have I not finished the fight in this dining room?), And the stories hit that I rarely prepare for the third gear after losing two.

The only ideal video game in the world, the needle needle, solved this ages, mixing meetings and boss fighting, which you potentially saw, and making sure that no fights on the run seemed the same. It’s frustrating because there is another great game here. One that begins too similar to the last one, and then gradually begins to bloom in a dignified continuation. But the on -board species is now in naughty health, and Knights’s flaws make it not with great there.
