Games like FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE

Steam reviews

What players say

Players mostly praise it as a return to classic turn-based Final Fantasy, with its HD-2D visuals, soundtrack and Visions system, though some find the story and writing weak.

Many players enjoy how the game recalls the NES and SNES era of the series: turn-based battles, a Visions system that lets characters borrow skills and roles from other Final Fantasy heroes, and build customisation that rewards planning. The HD-2D presentation with pixel sprites and modern lighting draws frequent praise, as does the soundtrack. Some players complain about a predictable, cheesy story and dialogue, and some dislike heavy hand-holding such as quest markers and minimaps. Others criticise grinding Visions, menu bloat, random status effects, unskippable limit break cutscenes, and limited text size options. Several reviewers came from the earlier mobile game and welcome the single-player format. Recent reviews are more mixed on the story and bossy interface, though still largely positive. A few reviewers also complain about a 24-hour Denuvo lockout and poor support, which is a separate matter from the game itself.

Who it suits

Suits fans of classic turn-based Final Fantasy and SNES-era RPGs who enjoy build customisation and nostalgia, especially former players of the mobile game.

Who should skip it

Players who want a strong story, a challenging difficulty, or little interface guidance and grinding should probably skip it.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with well over 50 hours more often mention the easy endgame and the grind of Visions, while newer players mainly praise the first chapters.
