Review: Brigandine Abyss (PS5) - A Tactical RPG That’s No Fire Emblem, But Still Mildly Entertaining
Brigandine Abyss is a tactical role-playing game for PlayStation 5 that features six distinct campaigns, each offering a unique faction and lead character for players to command. Despite its multi-perspective structure and variety in approach, the game struggles with its initial presentation and design.
According to Push Square’s review, Brigandine Abyss bombards players with menus and systems early on, many of which feel superfluous and cumbersome to navigate. The reviewer notes that despite being categorized as a tactical RPG, the game requires relatively little tactical skill to progress, potentially undermining expectations for the genre. The reviewer describes the game’s first impression as unfavorable, which may discourage engagement before players encounter deeper content. While the framework of multiple factions and characters could provide varied gameplay experiences, the initial experience does not effectively communicate what might appeal about the title to fans of tactical role-playing games.
