I literally bought this because intsys made it and I could use my amiibo, everything else about the game was unremarkable

Offers a scathing critique of American exceptionalism and in particular, the individualist great man theory narrative associated with Abraham Lincoln by paralleling him and other American icons to one of the few things as bad as America: Fire Emblem

It was better than the pretty poor performance it was subjected to, but it did have a lot of rough edges and downside. Too many muddled systems and unsatisfying strategy, some problematic characters when you put a lot of thought into it. But overall, I do wish it got some sort of a second chance.

It's X-COM or Valkyria Chronicles but with Western literature characters reimagined in a steampunk setting. If that doesn't sell the game for you, there's nothing I can do about it.

Abraham Lincoln in smash bros.... .. . ..

Steampunk Abraham Lincoln and the Cowardly Lion with a gun is badass. I also genuinely think the steam resource gauge is an interesting mechanic

Truly gave this game like more shots than I should have and just could not get into it. The enemy turns took forever and every level kind of felt like a slog. I got to play Ike though when I tapped his amiibo so I guess that was cool. I just really wanted to like it and couldn't.
