This review seems lacking. As someone who fully completed the 1998 game Brigandine: Legend of Forsena, I can say that this new game sorely lacks in the fleshing out stories of the non-main characters.
In the first game, you can observe their interactions when you clump certain knights together in a fort. The absence of these scenes makes the game pretty bland since all scenes revolve around the main character of each faction and their inner circle.
That said, devs doubled down on main character stories with scenes and story. Good stuff. Still wouldve loved side stories and banter between the other knights though.
Art is really ecchi. They ramped up sexualization to popularize the game but if the story and character banter was as good or even more refined then it wouldve been perfect. Sexy af tho.
Quest system is the biggest let down. In the first game there would be narratives and randomized outcomes but now all we have is a straight out result. Boring. Lazy.
Battle system is still as good as the original tho they couldve modernized it by giving knights map abilities like sabotage ala total war.
Also a 7/10 for me. Sad. So hyped to see innovations but the game feels like it took a step back
