TheDioFieldChronicle Review: Charting a New Course for SRPGS.
When someone mentions the strategy or tactical RPG genre, it typically conjures up visions of turn-based combat taking place on a grid. Sure, there are exceptions, but the battlefields of games like Tactics Ogre, Final Fantasy Tactics, Disgaea, and Fire Emblem, with their planes squarely divided into rows and columns, have come to define the genre. The DioField Chronicle looks to break free of that grided prison.
The narrative feels almost impenetrable at first. There are a lot of made-up words and unfamiliar proper nouns thrown around, and few of the political machinations playing out seem to have any meaningful impact on the lives of these characters. Throughout the game, many of the story's events are communicated through monologues from an unseen narrator between battles instead of seen or received through the characters' eyes, making it all feel a bit impersonal.
The DioField Chronicle tosses turn-based grid combat in favor of the"real time tactical battle" system. That sounds brand new but should feel familiar to anyone who has played a game in the MOBA genre like League of Legends or Defense of the Ancients. Combat takes place in real-time, though time stops while giving commands.
