Had it got nothing else right, Image & Form’s cardbased RPG would be worthy of praise for making every battle count. So many games in this genre settle into a rhythm that has become wearily familiar: you steamroll a procession of grunts, accruing tiny amounts of experience across dozens of rinse-and-repeat encounters, before bumping up against a tough boss with a giant health pool at which to chip away. There are bosses here, sure, and some of them take a fair old while to kill. But even the rank and file can present a test. For once, you can’t afford underestimate the about your next move.
