Our take on Long Gone Days
The human-connection premise receives much of the emphasis, but the playable structure also relies on sniper sequences, turn-based battles, morale management, and body-part targeting. The result is a war narrative presented through both social scenes and tactical encounters.
What is Long Gone Days?
Long Gone Days is a modern-day JRPG about human connection during war, following Rourke, a young sniper trained by the subterranean paramilitary state known as The Core.
After completing his first mission, he discovers that the organization he trusted is not what it seemed. The game combines turn-based combat with slower, slice-of-life sections focused on civilian life and relationships. Language barriers affect communication, with interpreters enabling conversations across borders. Party members have distinct personalities and motivations, while dialogue choices can raise morale during battles. Combat includes ranged attacks in Sniper Mode, close-range encounters, and targeting specific body parts. Battles are hand-crafted, tied to the plot, and shaped by player choices.
