Combat: Strengths and Shortcomings
The combat system gives you room to experiment with team composition and strategy, especially thanks to each Krakture’s signature ability. However, the general move pool often feels shallow: many skills are generic and repeat across different creatures, which reduces variety over long play sessions. Additionally, battle flow is sometimes interrupted by intrusive notifications when allies act or get KO’d.
