It’s not the boldest tactical RPG, and it’s not trying to be. I fully expect DioField to go down as one of 2022’s “hidden gems,” and that’s OK. My own playthrough unfolded like an A-Team training montage as I swapped between party members, activating their respective special abilities while those of their teammates cooled down. As Oli Welsh pointed out in August, it plays sort of like a MOBA. Billed as a tactical RPG, it eschews the turn-based grid combat of a Fire Emblem, XCOM, or Final Fantasy Tactics, opting instead for real-time battles on freeform maps.
Released last week, The DioField Chronicle is yet another in Square Enix’s wealth of 2022 releases. The DioField Chronicle is the latest champion of this sentiment. Some friends and I have a saying about video games: “Less talk-y, more do-y.” It’s an extremely broad (and sometimes refutable) criticism aimed at the fact that, more often than not, video games are better when they let their gameplay speak for them.
