Slice of life progression is not for everyone; poor gameplay tutorials; lessthanimpressive visuals.
Resonance of Fate is a remarkable achievement on many fronts. From its multi-genre blend of combat to its believable cast, the game shows that tradition is not necessary to make a fun game. While it fails to impress on a technical level, the sheer enjo...
