![]() Waltaquin’s Convalescent Circle skill creates a giant area where units within its vicinity recover HP at regular intervals. Glory on the battlefieldĮach character has skills to unleash during battle, such as Andrias’ Assassination, where he slices through a single enemy multiple times leaving afterimages of himself. RTS games are more naturally suited toward PC controls, as utilizing a mouse and keyboard makes for faster response times and navigating the battlefield, so it’s nice to see good controller considerations here. I played the demo on my PS5 using a controller, so I really appreciated this pause function as it accommodated my slow cursor movement with the left control stick. Is one of your teammates low on HP? You won’t have to worry about accidentally selecting the wrong character to heal amidst the chaos of battle. However, what makes battles much more manageable is that using a character’s special skills pauses the action and lets you take your time to decide what to do next. Additionally, I felt more connected to my units as characters whereas in other games my troops would be nameless units that I couldn’t care less about dying. Having a fast reaction time and thinking quickly on your feet are helpful skills when playing RTS games, and this focused approach removes some barriers for those who aren’t able to quite match others. In T he DioField Chronicle, you just have to focus on your party of four (sometimes a fifth unit as well, as one of the beginning missions requires you to escort a defenseless carriage through the battlefield). I remember feeling overwhelmed and stressed at all of the different vehicles, units, and bases I had to keep track of in real-time. While the RTS genre has never been one of my go-tos, I distinctly flashbacked to Halo Wars during my demo. It’s more like managing an RPG party than an army. You don’t build bases or earn any currency to call in more units. Instead of having tens of units, you can take a party of up to four characters and send them out into the battlefield. The game takes a more focused approach to the genre rather than piling on systems. As someone who doesn’t play RTS games often at all, The DioField Chronicle’s gameplay systems are quite beginner-friendly.
