I should add, starting with Towerfall these are all games I'd say I liked. I enjoyed most of what I played!

It's extremely cool that this game exists. It's kind of like a mix of XCOM with a D&D campaign. The game procedural generates characters and quests for you to go on, which you complete with XCOM/Fire Emblem-esque battles. The quests are fairly well written for the most part - I assume they did a lot of writing and only have to mix and match/fill in a few elements based on the party members you bring. The main story only has a few selectable campaigns, but they don't take up the majority of the story parts. One nice thing compared to XCOM or FE is that you don't need to have a huge number of characters - you can recruit, but I only had a party of 3 for most of the game, until I recruited up to 5 at the end. Makes the relationships between them feel more personal. You can choose what kind of characters you get, too - gender, height, sexual preference, age, etc. Fun to get an all-woman party.

However, a lot of this stuff doesn't matter to me, since I only played it once. It was alright, but nothing I'd be thrilled to play again. The gameplay's not as interesting as FE or XCOM. The individual quests can be neat, but they generally don't flow together across a campaign. There are choices you can make that affect how the relationships between your characters develop, but I'd like for there to be more of those. The art isn't great. I mostly enjoyed the game, I was just never enthralled.

Next game hint: this series has multiple games on this list, but this is the only one of them with a subtitle.
