    Review

    Troubleshooter: Abandoned Children (Troubleshooter), a game by the small Korean studio Dandylion, is an ambitious game intended to be the first of a series of tactical Role-Playing Games (RPGs) set in the world of Troubleshooter. It is a game that has clearly been informed by X-Com with a heavy flavoring of Japanese RPGs (JRPGs) and with a dash of Final Fantasy Tactics (FFT): War of the Lion included in the mix.

    Troubleshooter is the first game for the studio and when it was first released into early access, it was intended to include a huge story with multiple chapters, multiplayer support, and an extensive amount of content and customizability. After years in early access, it was given a full release in April, with the company honestly admitting that this was in part to generate money to allow for further development. Neither of these is a great sign for such a small studio and is frequently an indication that the game is likely to be some sort of failure. Yet despite these warning signs, Troubleshooter has very good reviews on Steam. As of right now, its overall positive review rate is categorized as "Very Positive" with a 93% rate, and its recent reviews are "Overwhelmingly Positive" with a 95% positive review rate. So the question is are these reviews accurate? Are they an indication of a good game or just a small, dedicated fan base who have found a game that fits their specific needs?

    [...]

    I can't in good conscience recommend this game to someone who prefers more bite-sized experiences, prefers simpler games, or who may find the slow unveiling of features to be a turnoff, but if you do not fall into any of those categories, I can heartily recommend it.

    This is one of my favorite games, and I have already spent hundreds of hours playing it and truly expect to add at least another hundred hours to it before I am done. It is a great game and one that I truly think any true turn-based RPG fan (who does not fall into the groups noted above) will greatly enjoy.

    Score: 9/10
