Possibly one of the best games I ever played on NewGrounds.
It felt very much like FF Tactics. The gameplay is a little confusing at first, though it's rather nice.
The storyline and the characters seem great so far. The sprites and the animations are well done, the soundtrack is awesome.
The AI is impressively high, making the game potentially difficult, thus allowing very few mistakes, especially if going for flawless victories.
As for the fact that you're limited on money and skill supplies, it makes it tedious to know what to get, which makes me wanna wish there was a way to fight a few optional battles just to grind a little.
I'm really looking forward to Chapter 2.
