7/10, it is entertaining for a while and bought at a discount, it is definately worth the price for me.
It's a (weird) roguelike hex-based autobattler with enough mechanics to keep you thinking about strategy.
It does what it does well enough but nothing earthshattering.
Few minor gripes/oddities:
- The main-story seems somewhat unsuited for the main-game loop, in which you retrace your steps, as you now awkwardly fight up to the same bosses in the same order even though story-wise you no longer seem to have no reason for it. In the later acts the story also kind of awkwardly cuts itself off with some half-baked reason to send you back to town (which means restarting the loop)
- I would've liked more speed-up options, since the main-game loop started feeling slow. I don't need a summary screen telling me the rewards I got from this fight, as I either literally hand-picked them a second ago myself, or they hold little meaning ("Yes I know I got some money/rep, I *always* get them as it seems more related to just the turns ~ and usually the same amount ~ and it doesn't influence any decision-making as you can't spend them whenever you please anyway). The button even changes into a "skip" button allowing you to speed up the "revealing" of the rewards (from like 5 seconds down to 2), yet just not showing it at all wasn't an option.
- The UI doesn't seem to be designed to cater to actually trying different party compositions. I don't want to think about how I am going to keep track of each character if you have 5 of each class, and the party composition bonuses aren't shown *before* you embark? I haven't unlocked the witch hunter class yet and I don't think I will as I just don't feel the entertainment value will compensate for the annoyance of respeccing and spreadsheeting
But all in all, entertaining enough.

It's lacking polish in some areas, but I still like it, and there's a demo that will let you try before you buy. The core loop will probably either grab you or not, so give it a shot!

As a fan of the L5R setting this is just a dream came true, and they even add the novella with audio-book for free! Please do more of the L5R game or any kind of media, I'm willing to support it all!

Great game, wish there would be more DLC in the future but a fun auto battler!
Pros
Fun and good value for the price.
Interesting story beats and easy to learn gameplay
cons
some systems need more polish and more depth
short campaign even though for the price it is fair, want more DLC

Super fun game. That's definitely worth a sale price. Really great take on the genre.
Unfortunately, the gameplay is very ugly. It kind of looks like it's stuck at a low resolution, the idle animations are all at like 5fps, there's a thick black line around everything that just looks terrible and aliases really poorly. Visually it looks like it's still in an alpha state. Which is weird because the UI is great and works really well.
Also there are no difficulty modifiers, so they game becomes super easy after the first 3-4 runs. I think I lost 2 or 3 times and then never lost again. I actually stopped even placing my units. Every match was just "hit play and win."
The game flopped pretty hard and development is over, but I like the game and it's worth a play.

When I heard that Legend of the Five Rings finally got a video game last night I dropped everything and bought this game. I've been waiting so long for L5R to become a video game as an old fan of the IP for ages, and this is a fun start to what I hope will end up being many different L5R games. It is a Roguelite game with similarities to Darkest Dungeon, and combat maps similar to Heroes of Might and Magic/Age of wonders. The Classes and squad builds are all pretty simple and easy to figure out, and the thematic flavoring is great, I love this game and I think it could be a great introduction to L5R and the world of Rokugan. Interesting that they chose to set most of the adventures as dealing with villains from the Shadowlands.

This is a great autobattler. The setting is a plus but theres not really too much of a story here. It is still a bit rough around the edges since the Studio was shut down unfortunately but no major stuf for me at least. Gameplay wise youre going on runs that are quite short in the beginning but take 70+ minutes in later game. Inbetween you level up your party and classes. I highly encourage trying the demo.
