Himeko Sutori
Himeko Sutori is a short story about a family of sisters and a journey they are forced into. The game is all delivered by a very small group, mostly a single developer as a labour of love and some contracted elements. This does leave some rough edges, but those work well enough.
I have played through multiple variations of the game and systems since its EA release 2 years ago, and my biggest praise has to be towards Nathaniel’s (Developer) commitment to his project, fixing things promptly and engaging with the community.

I’m quite torn about this game. The positive rating is mostly to even out the negative ratings because I think the game is worth buying. But it could be much better than it is.
My biggest grudge is the leveling system. Instead of being allowed to pick whatever perks you want you have to choose something from three randomly picked cards. This means that quite often you can only pick things you do not want on that character. Welp, there goes a wasted level. You can always reload (and that’s what I usually do) until you are happy with the result. But that is a colossal waste of time and NOT FUN AT ALL. Much of my displayed playing time is actually reloading time and as such the opposite of fun playing time.

军团战棋Legion War
Just on the last weekend I played a big FFA the demo for 10.2 hours.
Then got the full game and played 2 1v1s for a combined other 5.5 hours!
It is rare that a game captivates me that much from the get go.
The AI is also quite competent already, which is part of what makes the game so fun to play. But I also see room for improvement there.
There’s some minor annoyances that could easily be improved like:
-
no hotkey for ending the turn
-
a lot of places where I first have to select something and then click a button instead of having double-click work there like with the hero-skill-tree, would be really nice if equiping items worked the same way

Legion War is a classic style turn-based conquer the world game with tons of options and depth to it. I’ve played nearly 75 hours and haven’t even touched the two campaigns currently included.
As of this review there are 5 playable factions with unique units, heroes, spells/abilities and mechanics as well as several minor factions that can be encountered in game and whose units can be recruited.
The game receives regular updates adding new and completely unexpected content, and development on the campaigns for other factions seems to be ongoing at a steady pace.
