A game that imbues the concept of 'time loop' with the strategic depth of SRPGs and a compelling storyline. While the mechanics of calculating hit chances and enemy behaviors to devise strategies are excellent, the emphasis on gimmicks over active growth and combat makes it difficult to fully enjoy the essence of SRPGs from the outset.

Reverse Collapse: Code Name Bakery has all the makings of a top-notch narrative-driven tactical RPG. It has amazing art, sound design and unique options for making each mission victory feel personal to the player. All of these fit in well with the vision of how Girls' Frontline operates, and the developer is respectful of its origins while still moving on to create something new. This is a rich experience, and while it might be lacking in the ability to challenge veteran tactical RPG players, it's a fantastic place to start for newcomers of the genre.
