Ixtona is pretty generic across the board, but there's some aspects that could've been pretty interesting had they developed it more. The story left me disappointed the most. It starts with a sudden coup by the MC's older brother (who is a prince) and their father is killed in the process. From there, the story could've gone to some interesting places even if it went the typical MC gathers his own army and overthrow his own brother route. But it doesn't and the story never really gets more interesting than that.
Although, the story direction is a bit surprising and comes out of left field, there's not much development on that end either. Just when I felt like the story was finally moving and seemingly at a 25% mark of the story, the story basically skips to the rushed ending in a matter of a handful of battles.
It's a shame how the story just ends so quickly considering I did liked the characters in the game. They were fun and amusing. On that note, none of them get any real character development either.
The tactical gameplay is pretty standard. Competent overall even if there isn't much of a standout. The job system was decent too.
Overall, a way too short game that could be cleared in just under 9 hours on Normal. I feel like it could be a much better game if they spent more time on it, but alas, this is the result.
