One can't help feeling that it is a worse version of its predecessor. The game contains a few new features, but some of them make it slightly worse. It's still fun though, with a cool world to explore and an interesting combat system that will keep you entertained most of the time. [Issue#329]
In the post-apocalyptic world of Miasma Chronicles, players embark on a gripping journey with Elvis, a young man possessing a unique glove that can control the devastating Miasma. Developed by The Bearded Ladies, known for Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden, this turn-based tactical game offers a captivating story and memorable characters, though it follows a mostly linear narrative. While the exploration aspect may feel repetitive, the game truly shines in its intense combat, featuring Elvis's glove and strategic elements inspired by games like X-COM. With customization options, evolving characters, and no need for grinding, Miasma Chronicles delivers an accessible and engaging experience for players seeking a balance of gameplay and narrative.
An atmospherically dense, but narratively weak tactical game that can't hold a candle to its outstanding predecessor, Mutant Year Zero.

Miasma Chronicles es un juego muy imperfecto, pero cuyo balance final para mi es algo positivo. Empecemos por la historia, que es probablemente el aspecto más decepcionante para mi, empieza prometedora pero a medida que avanza, especialmente a partir del segundo capítulo, los personajes empiezan a comportarse continuamente de manera estúpida solo para que haya dramita. A nivel de jugabilidad me recuerda mucho a Mutant Year Zero: por un lado tenemos nuestra party que se mueve por los mapas, tiene equipo y habilidades; en este sentido es un tanto limitado, pues los avances de los personajes con la subida de niveles se sienten poco especiales, siendo la mayoría compartidos entre distintos personajes. Luego está el tender emboscadas, algo muy importante en dificultad Extrema, que está guay aunque es un poco básico y que llegado cierto punto, como las armas silenciadas son las que son, pues dejas de poder hacerlo porque los enemigos tienen más vida de la que puedes eliminar en silencio. Y finalmente el combate, que es lo mejor del juego. Hay una variedad bastante buena de enemigos, armas que usar y los distintos entornos hacen que los combates se sientan suficientemente variados e interesantes durante la inmensa mayoría del juego, aunque hacia el final empiezan a hacerse algo repetitivos. Además, el hecho de que la party sea de 3 personajes y siempre tengas que llevar a los dos principales hace que en realidad siempre acabes usando a los mismos personajes todo el tiempo.Gráficamente, el diseño del juego tiene cosas interesantes, pero es uno de los aspectos donde se nota que el presupuesto del juego no era tan alto. El sonido cumple bien, aunque la música en particular me pareció algo pobre. Y el juego está terriblemente mal optimizado, tirando mucho más de ordenador de lo que debería y con algún crash a **** resultado de todo ello es un juego que entretiene durante sus horas, pero que se resiente de la falta de recursos que le hubieran permitido desarrollar más toda su fórmula e ideas. Un 6.

Игра пройдена на уровне сложности – Экстрим/Полный тактический режим. Дюже достойная игра. Очень приятная графика, история, хоть и не хватает звёзд с неба, но, по-своему интересна, мои любимые пошаговые бои опять же, да, геймпадное управление с низкой камерой в режиме путешествия при игре с КМ, имхо, это минус, возможность возвращаться на прежние локации, когда по сюжету этого быть вроде как не должно, это странно, но, как выяснилось, полезно хотя и портит атмосферный настрой своей нелогичностью. И всё же, повторюсь, дюже достойная игра.

It's a good step in the right direction after Mutant Chronicles. Some mechanics are junky and undercooked, but generally if you're looking for a simple RPG with Xcom-like combat and good graphics - this is a solid choice.

The Bearded Ladies is experienced in the turn-based tactics genre and Miasma Chronicles shows it convincingly, with the studio trademark mix of stealth and tactic providing an engaging approach to most combat situations (sometimes the enemies will get the drop on you. Life isn’t fair). A pity for a climax that is perhaps too sudden, and a plot that isn’t as good as the atmosphere.

Miasma Chronicles knows how to seduce players by highlighting its strengths while hiding its few gray area (still... they do exist). Miasma Chronicles is a real kick-ass new IP.

Just about the very best graphics for a TRPG. Beautiful looking game. This game is not just one tactical combat after another. It has dimensions of exploration, story, RPG, stealth and then battles. To like this game, you have to like the idea of positioning your units optimally before the actual battle starts, including finding and ambushing isolated enemies. I find this aspect of the gameplay is a nice complement to other more traditional battle oriented TRPGs such as King Arthur: Knights Tale (which is great in its own way).

True love letter to Isometric RPG genre. Stunning visuals, decent story and fun strategy gameplay. Recommended to anyone who is tired from bland open RPGs.

Miasma Chronicles skillfully merges intense turn-based tactical combat, stealth mechanics, and rewarding exploration, dresses them up in a compelling world and narrative, and makes the result accessible to a broad audience.

Miasma Chronicles is another solid release from Bearded Ladies, who are quite comfortable with their fusion of turn-based tactics with a narrative element. The studio has already become an expert at playing defense, and has a case for venturing further on offense. Miasma Chronicles is a good starting step for newcomers and an interesting offering for veterans, even if it doesn't innovate, but it doesn't try either.

While I’m enjoying Miasma Chronicles, I don’t think it’s one I’m going to stick with. There are too many moments where the deck feels stacked against me in combat, and there aren’t many ways to get on par with the difficulty curve, let alone get ahead of it. The developers get very close to something great here, but there’s something off in their formula and it’s just not clicking in a way that feels satisfying.

A serviceable tactics game lumbered with an uninspiring setting and narrative, brought right down by bigoted stereotypes.

My rating. The game is a tactical RPG and not a frantic action game, as it is usually the case lately. I personally liked the game very much and a few minor flaws didn't deter me. The main thing is fun and I am greatly entertained. + Graphics + World + Story + Survey - Controls

I played the previous game from this studio. The new game is not much different, a little bigger and better. For fans of tactical games, this is a pretty good game.

P. much a sequel to Mutant Year Zero, with a bit more cringe writing but better tactical gameplay and more interesting world. If you liked Mutant, you'll almost certainly like this too.

Stupid tactics! All enemies have the same tactic of spawning other enemies! And not missing any shots! Half cover is broken, is just like staying in the open

This is a badly design stategy game , some of the pieces are there but they are **** the wrong places. Its incredibly shallow , there no real progression and it all feels badly designed and overwhrlmig. The final nail is the massive dificulty spike. For the first few hours your fighting a fair and ballanced 4 to 5 ememies of differing strengths. Then in one chapter change your suposed to be able to beat squads of 15 to 20 enemies the majority of which have high power. And rhatson standard difficulty.
