Taste of demo made me excited for this. I though I'd finally get a new game that is similar to Heroes of Might & Magic except with choice system, romanceable companions, visible gear/armour changes, etc.
Instead it just feels empty and shallow, introduction to the world almost does not exist which leads to Player pretty much not caring about any of the characters.
Artificial barriers of "you must progress further in the story" make the early game rather boring. You can see what Units will available in the future yet you are left "spamming" the same ones for quite a bit of time.
