Is Blades of the Righteous worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Fans of turn-based strategy who want to manage individual unit skills and equipment
- Players who enjoy army management with up to 16 units in a battle
- Strategy players who want map events and lasting perks between maps
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking immediate, action-focused combat may lose interest during turn-based battles and army preparation.
- Players who want to defeat bosses without side content may hit a wall because the 5 bosses require a larger army built through additional encounters.
- Players looking for a small, fixed unit roster may find more than 25 unit types and over 60 abilities too expansive.
- Players who do not want to manage editable XML items may not use that system.
Our take on Blades of the Righteous
Players who prefer a direct route through a campaign may bounce at the boss encounters. The game requires side encounters to enlarge the army before the 5 bosses become defeatable, adding a progression check beyond the main map path.
