Early Preview of Years of Division: A New FE-like Indie SRPG!

There are so many cool things about this demo it’s crazy. The single coolest thing is arguably the simplest part. The ability to quickly toggle and let you see everyone’s haste and reflexes really shows how well the dev knows his systems and what’s important about them.

I’ve never been that impressed by the FE-like custom engine srpgs for one reason or another. But I def need to try this.

My only two negative thoughts. The portraits clash so hard with the bright saturation of battle animations (and maps). Not sure how to rectify this.

I’m curious how hard it will end up being is the 300HP guy didn’t end up as much of a threat by ch9.

This is a really interesting review! You did a great job of getting me interested in this - while initially I wasn't super sold on the graphics, things like the haste/reflex system, the levelling system, and especially the modular difficulty system are all really interesting mechanics that show a lot of thought and effort went into designing the gameplay and taking real steps to make something different from FE. Keep up the good work!

Glad to see we both had the exact same mindset when it came to dealing with the champion, and we made the same mistakes in the same order 🤣

That 93 crit at the end 😂

Seems like really interesting mechanics, not bad

What a delightful review! It's clear you really understand the vision behind the game, and what I've tried to do to make it stand out and feel unique and tactical!

The full seven chapter demo is live on steam for everyone to try right now! And steam now allows players to leave reviews of demos, so if you end up trying out the demo and like it, a thumbs up on steam would really help the game!

Give the archer nature magic you say? Hmm.... 👀
