Message: [QUOTE="ATenderLad, post: 204613, member: 3864"] I always thought Covenant was a great example of a game I *respect* more than I *enjoy*. The core mechanic of sacrificing comrades permanently - the bridge to your revenge being built on the bones of betrayed friends - is a wild idea, and one that the game supports with an almost unreasonable difficulty. The actual play is mostly a by-the-numbers DS strategy RPG, which were a dime a dozen at the time, and all of your most interesting combat options are locked behind spending several missions to befriend a new character and then burying them. Thematically that's very cool, but in practice it's a little boring until you've played through a couple times, and the only thing it has over games like FFTA is the combo system - it's cool looking, but ganging up on a single enemy with multiple units is already how you play this sort of game in the first place. I'd still say try it out if you enjoy the setting and style of the series, but maybe don't buy it like I did. [/QUOTE]
