40 Giants Entertainment has released its first game, Reverie Knights Tactics, that is intriguing because it combines an illustrated novel that is an epic fantasy with the more complex turn-based tactical game. Let’s talk about what came out of it and whom would you recommend this unique mix to.

The reality is that Reverie Knights Tactics can be stressful, as mentioned in the tutorial in which it informs players of the basics of rules in the heat of battle. In which there is a high likelihood of losing. There aren’t too many, and the nightmare soon ends when the brief introduction ends up being the dream about Aurora, the sorceress, whom the player must endure the whole adventure.
The majority of Reverie Knights Tactics is centered around the story, which is delivered as static extras – the player is waiting for many conversations with intriguing characters (just glance at the positive character of the defender Brigandine dressed in shining armor). The plot is exactly in the spirit of what you’d think of in a fairy tale. Players say they are bored by so many conversations when reviewing the demo. But what were they expecting from a graphic novel?
The tactical aspect here isn’t enough, but it is satisfied with the interaction that allows the enemy to use spikes to push them, drop columns on them, and trigger an attack by planting or doing anything else. The adversaries can also do this.
The battles here aren’t most easy – they are already at medium difficulty, the mana and health of the characters are not replenished from battle to battle, which adds to the amount of difficulty.
The characters are equipped with all the features that accompany them that come with experiences – such as levels of ability, characteristics that can be pumped (including Ultimates), and equipment that makes them stronger. There’s also a starting camp, where you can make items, purchase things, and cook meals to regain the strength of your heroes. The developers didn’t overcomplicate these basic mechanics, meaning everyone can comprehend these mechanics.
The main point is that although Reverie Knights Tactics can make you a part of combat, it’s an otherwise straightforward game that seamlessly blends turn-based combat and a novel-style story with a non-linear narrative. It’s not a game for players who prefer the tactical depth of X-COM; however, those who like to get lost in the story and are bored of complicated projects can discover suitable for a few nights.
