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.

An atmospherically dense, but narratively weak tactical game that can't hold a candle to its outstanding predecessor, Mutant Year Zero.

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.
