Every now and then, an out-of-nowhere game appears and is totally awesome. Today's game is Voidspire Tactics. Features include:
-Open world exploration
-Tactical sRPG combat
-Character customization
-Spells usable in or out of combat (use fireball to light a furnace or kill a creepy-crawlie)
-No orcs, elves, or goblins
-There is an airship though
It's $15, and it's easily worth $15. Highly recommended if you enjoyed the likes of Final Fantasy Tactics but wanted "more," or if you are a fan of chill-ass badass open-ended RPGs.
