Il profondo cambiamento dell'intero settore è sotto gli occhi di tutti e deriva principalmente dal fatto che oramai i videogiochi siano diventati una delle forme di intrattenimento più popolari ed apprezzate.

Battle system in potenza interessante e profondo; Longevo; con la modalità multiplayer versus e co-op

Visuale confusionaria; Comparto grafico che soffre del cross gen; A volte davvero frustrante

Heads will roll. Mostly yours.

An excellent SRPG that fans of the genre will likely enjoy. The game also recently received a patch which fixed some of the difficulty and buggy issues.

If patience is the cardinal virtue shared by all role players, then Natural Doctrine will be the game that turns a lot of saints into profanity-slinging, rage-quitting sinners. To some extent, this is what developer Kadokawa Games wants.

Unique; complex; and satisfying battle system; Well-implemented skill trees

Artificially inflated difficulty; Story is disposable and unavoidable; Interface and animations make battle more arduous than necessary; Too often devolves into frustrating trial and error

A noble attempt to do something unique in the strategy RPG space that won't appeal to most players.

Unique take on turn-based strategy; pretty good music; a great challenge for tactics fans

Bare-bones presentation; butt ugly graphics; hugely obnoxious and repetitive battle voice acting

The zone system and linking are great concepts

Moving one character three pixels too far over means annihilation

Natural Doctrine is a brutally honest tactical role-playing game in concept and difficulty. Focused entirely on providing players with challenging turn-based battles against unrelenting hordes of fantastical enemies, this is a game meant to push players to their limits.

+ Brutally challenging; rewarding combat; + Tactical positioning; + Voice-cast and monster models; + Co-Op and Versus Multiplayer

- Battle interface crowded and messy; - Character models and graphics; - Lore isn't explored enough; - Forgettable soundtrack
