Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Doesn't really feel like there is that much content in the game. There are only a handful of unique classes, and the other units you can get in the game within the same class are just different cosmetically. Same with the weapons. Game…”
“I like these kinds of games, but I just couldn't bring myself to playing more than a bit of it. Something about the pace of combat that just didn't do it for me. And I love Final Fantasy Tactics and have played through it many times.”
