There are 4 classes in the game with each having 2 to 3 subclass each so there is a total of 9 classes. Skill on the other hand is tied to your character’s class and weapons. So, once you found a good mission, you will be able to grind the mission repeatedly for experience and gold. Compared to other games where you must farm various materials to craft a weapon, all equipment can be unlocked by using only gold coins. The only thing you want to farm is experience and gold. Overall, I feel like the game system is very beginner friendly with simplistic levelling and upgrading mechanics. There are other materials you can gain to for research or upgrade, but it is just a small amount compared to other RPG games. As you go on a mission your will gain experience and gold to upgrade your skills and weapons like in a normal RPG. During the story, you are given missions or side missions to handle with the members of the Blue Fox mercenary group to choose from. The DioField Chronicle is an isometric real-time strategy role-playing game. I would just recommend sticking to Performance mode because Quality mode seems to have some choppy framerate during gameplay. I tried both and to be honest I do not see any difference. Performance-wise, you can select whether you want to play the game on 4K Quality to Performance mode. This gets very repetitive and somewhat comical if you kill 3-4 in a row. If you face the empire faction for example and kill a soldier, they all will say the same voice line which is “For the Empire”. There are a lot of voice lines in the game so at least there was some effort put into that.ĭuring battles, the game sounds do get repetitive with the sound of a sword slashing on a loop and enemies dying to repeat the same voice line repeatedly. Changing to a Japanese voice is better but then you need to read the subtitles instead. This is made worse by the English voice not syncing with the character model’s lip animations. Voice acting is a bit weird as the English voice actors sound a little off-putting to me like they sound robotic. The game does sport a soundtrack but nothing to shout out about with most of them playing on a loop as you enter the battle. On the other hand, character designs are good with each of them looking unique and distinguishable no matter how small there are on the battlefield. Animations look stiff and if you play battles at 2 times the speed, some look comical being sped up. Visually, the game offers nothing much because the game is made for other last gen consoles. Rust In The Armour Taking over the recruiting job Most of the stories are also told by narration and time skips so you do not play every event in the game. The only thing I felt that was missing is a choice mechanism which can change how the story flows a little as I felt like I was just on a ride without much power to make any decision. The main storyline is straight forward but there are a few twists to the story as you play. The game intends to portray each member with a hidden agenda as you proceed in the game with some member agendas having a great impact on the storyline. Though some later characters will not receive much character development, there will be a mission or two which will involve each of your team members. On the way, you will recruit new members into your group and that will slowly expand the story as it goes. The game story is a political drama between the factions as you go on missions in conflict areas as mercenaries for the Kingdom of Alletain. You start with the introduction of 4 main characters, Andrias Rhondarson, a royal bodyguard who knows ancient sorcery, Fredret Lester, his childhood friend, Iscarion Colchester, an archer and former noble, and Waltaquin Redditch, a mage noblewoman. The Kingdom of Alletain, where a mercenary unit called the “ Blue Foxes” are affiliated is in constant conflict with Trovelt-Schoevian Empire and the Rowetale Alliance. The game takes place in the fictional war-torn continent of, you guessed it, DioField. With the game’s Collector’s Edition even coming with its own tabletop board game version, does The DioField Chronicle also work as an excellent video game? Let’s find out. This time around, they create a game that they hope can spin off into a tabletop game in the future called The DioField Chronicle. Square Enix is no stranger to the tactical RPG genre with many under its belt.
