wonderful game, well-crafted tactical gameplay and superb game progression. i love the improvements made to it from voidspire tactics and i'm looking forward to playing horizon's gate when i get the chance!
Had fun with this one.
I ended up playing this after Voidspire tactics and although the progression was different, it overall had a similar feeling between the battles and classes. While Voidspire is more of a collect-a-thon with a main hub area, Alvora is structured more in the way of a rogue-like using procedural generated dungeons, though once you played through the areas a few times, you do notice some things that repeat, such as each run's area always generating a cave (though which cave it is is picked at random), or it'll generate a specific resource that can only be found in each area.
As for the characters, it has a wider array of races available at the start and even though you're initial 4 might have a specific role in mind, the fact that you later unlock the ability to have up to 6 units at once allows you to play around with classes more without feeling that you have to stick to a main melee, dps, a ranged dps, a healer, and a flex depending on the situation. As an example In voidspire i ended up using the monk as my main damage since it was the one class i found to output the most single target damage, but because i didn't have to rely on one unit doing the damage i opted into having the use a greatsword and another front-line tanker which i ended up making into a breaker.
Figuring out the augmentation also let me go out of my way to go and power up my armor, even better the materials aren't hard inputted into the gear so if you find something better then you can just take the mats out and move over, also speaking of better gear if you risk a little in the caves its possible to get strong gear in the first area, for instance i found a chunk of mythirl and a sword craft so i just have a mythirl sword with and i was set for the first area.
All in all, Alvora only has around 4-5 hours worth of content in it, but with how tanky the bosses are, you are expected to power up a little (also with some cheese here and there because some of the optional encounters are actually somewhat brutal). Structure-wise i did like Voidspire more, but i can't complain too much about a solidly made tactics game, even the fact that it's a procedural game didn't bother me after the first run through and i even forgot that the dungeons are run based until i left and there was a tally.
Alvora Tactics is the second Rad Codex game, featuring turn based combat and an FFTactics-inspired class system, Based around exploring a single, procedural dungeon--the remains of a giant city-eating worm--Alvora doesn't have much to differentiate it from the other games by this developer, but it's still fun and addictive in its own right.
The main added features here are new classes and the augmenting system. You also get a base camp with party-wide upgrades, including the ability to field six members at once. It's a nice balance between exploring Alvora and coming back to sell loot and buy upgrades, all of which feel impactful.
However this version of the class system feels pretty weak. Classes in this game have seven active abilities instead of the usual five, but most of them just don't seem worth using. There's a lot of status effects and movement based abilities, and other situational stuff, but relatively few direct power increases. To be fair this seems to be the idea behind the system--most upgrades consist of new tools, range increases, or duration boosts, while power comes from your gear and stats. But this makes the few direct power increases feel like the only things worth unlocking.
I finished Alvora in about 15 hours, and it felt too short. My team was decently leveled but only had mid-tier gear at best. It feels like a whole chunk of late game content is just missing. The dungeon has 5 biomes and other than one alternate 3rd floor that sometimes pops up, every floor has the same enemies and same power level every visit. Not only that, but the fourth floor is mostly puzzles with hardly any fights, and the last zone is short and mostly empty. After your first clear it seems like a sixth zone is going to be added, but alas this is not the case.
Alvora was a lot of fun, but Horizon's Gate does pretty much everything better. Only recommended if you can't get enough of Rad Codex games and are curious to see how they've evolved.
If you've already played Voidspire Tactics and Horizon's Gate and just want more of that combat system in a different little package, this is a no-brainer.
This game rules.
I played Voidspire Tactics and had trouble with it. Didn't end up finishing because the game frustrated me with its seeming inability to realize its own mechanics.
Alvora does not have this weakness. Alvora Tactics uses procgen in a very simple and elegant way to serve up varied encounters that can actually challenge your builds and provide novel battle scenarios. I wouldn't call it endlessly replayable, but it's definitely getting a 2nd run out of me.
Sick game, in my opinion a great improvement over the 1st while building on it in just about every way.
This game is kind of mediocre, mostly just that it doesn't control very well and it's sort of low quality. I think a lot of people sort of give this a pass because it's a solo dev and he tried - but I kind of regret that I bought this because now it's in my library and I probably won't ever play it. If you actually want to buy this, I would suggest to actually try it and refund if you don't like it instead of letting it sit the whole time.
👍
This is a solo Dev that really knows how to make a great game. So much heart.
