Not sure about strategy genre here but artstyle looks amazing...
Developed by Ubisoft Montreal, the stylized Impressionist graphics and storybook-rhyming narrative give it a charming, dreamy aesthetic that is complemented by the characters and locations. The turn-based combat seems fairly standard at first, but thoughtful alterations to the typical Active Time Battle system keep fights mentally engaging and provide for timing-based tactics that are enjoyable to execute successfully.
Progression through the game world is heavily linear and there are a few performance issues that crop up, though. Even so, the overall effect is a highly engaging experience that feels like a unique French take on the classic 2D JRPG rather than an outright Western RPG.
Score: 8/10
