Took a stab in the dark with Vandal Hearts: Flames of Judgement, and boy am I glad I did. Very addictive gameplay. I don't usually like SRPGs this much(I find them tedious), but this ones battle system is slick and fun. Perfect to hold me over until WKC in two weeks.

ViolentPhlegm (on 22 January 2010)

Just weird: Today I started playing Vandal Hearts II again after setting it aside for about a year. Then I take a break to check out the store update and the first thing I see is the splash page for this new game. Had no idea it was even being made.
