Sdorica: Tactical RPG

The production values on this game are just BONKERS. It's more polished than most top tier 3DS and Vita titles, with graphics that are simple yet clearly intentionally crafted for charm matching more detailed work... Only through a labor of love, I imagine, could they achieve beauty on par with a Vanillaware title using cut-out style graphics as they have. The soundtrack is even more stellar, with each track so far being on par with any triple A title and more appeal than I'm used to outside the PS2 generation... I'd pay to own it one iTunes, it's that good. I feel im not far enough in to make solid judgement of gameplay or story, but the tactical puzzle mechanic of combat is engaging if not novel enough to be engrossing, and the archtypically nailed expositional opening and In Meidas Res tutorial did a good job so far setting the stage for a nostalgic mythical feeling and interesting me in how the characters get to that point from where they start when you play the story from the beginning afterwards. For a F2P, I'd really say it would be foolish not to download this if you've any use for a solid tablet RPG... The game so far seems plenty generous enough for playing without paying a dime to be practical. That said, so much talented work clearly went into this, I've already made a token purchase, just because I'd feel guilty if I didn't... Work this great deserves rewarding. But that's just how I see it... DL it and decide for yourself.

Best game ever. I could stop there but no, I won’t. I know that I’m just repeating what other reviews are saying but I just have to say it myself. With unique and quirky animations, beautiful soundtracks and voice acting, engaging storyline, inventive gameplay and competitive daily missions, Sdorica creates a magnificent experience that keeps making me want more. Not only that but the game is free to play and also keeps maxed out players interested. People complain that the micro transactions are bad, but I disagree. It is not intended for you to spend a lot on this game and max out. The process of slowly grinding for summons is the whole point of gatchas and I believe Sdorica has done this perfectly. I don’t know why more people play this game and I hope that eventually it will become more well known. As long as the developers continue to release story and characters that are just as well done as the ones we already have, I will continue supporting Sdorica just as I have been doing and I hope that others will give it a try and experience it’s magnificence.

I picked this game up right after it first came out. It’s fun, and has an amazing art style, but I have two major gripes when it comes to this game. Firstly is the lag. Yes, I know this doesn’t apply to many, but I feel like this app has little support for older generations of tech, and struggles to keep an FPS value above 10 on older devices, even with lower graphical quality. (The devices in question are the IPhone 6 and IPad Air). For a 2D puzzle game, it has many performance issues. Secondly is the grind. I started off playing a few times a week, but then realized soon after that the real way to play is in large, daily sessions, gaining all possible resources, and getting high wonderland trial scores. This very quickly became boring, and once I got a few months into lvl 60, every single stage was the same (in exception to events). Although I didn’t enjoy the stages I was playing, I still did them in order to unlock the new character, or skin, or to try and unlock a new skin variant that I need for a combo. This is something that kills the casual player, and really can’t be helped without a full rework of the game. Overall, this grind took me away from the game, and I have just about abandoned it completely. I love this game, but casual players be warned, it is a commitment

Sdorica Sunset is one of the three mobile games I've loved enough to make an entire game review. Everything about it is beautiful, and it's truly a hidden gem. The story has a lot of thought put into it, and the player gets to see all the different sides of the story through different character's eyes without it getting repetitive at all. The characters are well-developed, and it's near impossible not to get attached to them. They have multiple layers, logical motivations(nobody's evil "just because"), and complicated relationship and backstories. The art is simplistic and charming, but there are scenes drawn in beautiful detail as well. The gameplay is unique and requires a degree of skill and planning, but isn't so impossible that it ruins the fun. In addition to having the story, there are always events going on where the player can get special items, collect new units, and enhance their current unit. Definitely something I'd suggest trying. I've never had it crash on me, it doesn't slow down my phone, it runs great.

I started playing this game after looking at the graphics and gameplay. I thought each character would just be another generic character. However, I was surprised far beyond my expectations. This game has extremely fun & addicting gameplay, due to the RNG and simple AND complex abilities. The story is interesting as well as it features many different characters each with their own background. Even though there aren’t as many characters I would’ve liked for, this game makes up for it in the amount of background put into each character. I’ve come to know and love all the characters I’ve gotten in the past few days of installing this game. Each character has many different types of skills, which can be put to use in a 3 character team. Different characters go well with other characters and there are endless combos of characters you can create. The story features every character you can get, and each one plays an important or semi-important role. Theres even a character quest line for each character where you can discover their background and get tokens to upgrade the character! I personally think this is my favorite game now. Its been the only mobile game out of my other 16 mobile games I’ve been playing ever since I’ve downloaded it. (Side note: this game does require effort to understand and learn but afterwards, trust me, it’ll be the best game you’ve ever played)
