Battle Chasers: Nightwar Review - Good Old Turn-Based
Battle Chasers: Nightwar is a turn-based RPG, a genre you rarely see in this generation. This was a great take on the classic formulas with an appealing art style that translates well into a videogame with a few issues ruining the momentum of this 40+ hour adventure.
