Disengage: The Somniel Files (Engage Review, see description for what's spoiled + corrections)
13Engage is the perfect game for a man with no date on Valentine's :3
This video may spoil:
- Late game character names/appearances
- Late game maps and details on their gimmicks
This video does NOT spoil any cutscenes or plot info otherwise. If you have a doubt, long story short: Gameplay is pretty good. Map design is good aside from some hiccups. Characters and story are awful. Localization messes with the original a lot if that bothers you. Music and presentation are fine. Overall a pretty alright game and worth a purchase. Not sure if there is a demo you can try before buying.
EDIT: I have been informed of a few mistakes I made in the video; as this was made after completing one playthrough I'm not gonna know literally everything, but I think the fact that there's more for me to discover elevates the game in my view. That said, here's what I got wrong:
- Poison only stacks three times, and the extra damage is 1, 3, and 5 rather than 1 per stack. This actually can pile on a lot of damage, so Knives are not as bad as I thought, not to mention if you make a Knife user Chain Attack, that causes Poison too. This still feels situational, however, and again, the Wolf Knight class exists, so is there a point to the Thief?
- Brave Weapons have their perks if you use them properly with Emblems and their skills, as well as Poison as mentioned.
- For some classes, some weapon ranks get +1 if the character has a proficiency with the weapon type. Warrior Etie has B Bows instead of C, for example. So you can modify weapon ranks that way if you know which classes have this function. I mean, there's not much variety at the higher ranks, the example I gave just gives her Silver Bows and that's it, the Engage Bows are all at D, so.
