Thanks to a deep setting and an excellent development, Confrontation is probably one of the best action RPGs avalaible nowadays on the market. A little problem with pathfinding and a too marked linearity, prevent this game from reaching excellence.

If you're looking for an interesting tactic/roleplaying mix, this might be it. But be aware that Confrontation offers little to no challenge for hardcore tacticians.

Despite its tactical combat system, as well as the development of character and weapons, Confrontation turned out to be a disappointment. The game is too linear and repetitive, with no side quests or any other excuse to take a moment to pause and explore the maps. Plus, it has a complex story, told with discontinuities and hard to follow, along with dated graphics which make the game not too enjoyable.

Confrontation is a good strategy game ruined by some great flaws.

Its combat system is good as is the development of character and weapons, but Confrontation it's a game very repetitive and linear.

Confrontation was announced as a tactical RPG, but as a matter of facts is more of a Hack'n'Slash with some tactical twists and many problems like the terrible pathfinding and a shallow technical component. Recommended only to the fans of the board game.

Think about a Diablo-like game without any loot system, or a Dragon Age without dialogue. Then you have an idea of what the true nature of Confrontation is. A game which is neither a role-playing game nor an RTS title.

This tactical RPG from Cyanide implements some charming ideas, but it suffers from repetition and bland, poorly designed levels.

Cyanide Studios used a low-budget production to bring a relatively unknown setting to our PCs. Unfortunately, the effort failed. Any good ideas were lost in repetition and underperformance. The script is a messy mix; the logic behind it is "pour as many components from the Aarklash setting as possible into a cauldron and cook it", but the result is something rather tasteless.

Confrontation reminds us of more traditional role playing games. But most of all, how much better those product are compared to this, even nowadays. It's a choice not to modernize the gameplay, but that doesn't excuse any developer to deliver a broken product.

A couple of hours into the game, monotonous running back and forth,
punctuated with repetitive encounters, will inevitably put you to
sleep.

A well constructed core, in need of more finesse and better editing.

Confrontation manages to score some points in a few areas, for example the concept. Also, the combat can get pretty difficult at times and encourages a tactical mind, which is a plus. Thank the heavens for the included pause button. Unfortunately, most of the ideas are very poorly executed and the gameplay is incredibly linear. For a 39.99 euro game, we would have expected more. A lot more.

Confrontation is an unfortunate a mess of a game, cluttering enough junk to prevent whatever good that lies within from shining through.

Confrontation's tactical combat occasionally thrills, but it's pitted against a host of issues too powerful for it to overcome.

I love RPGs and strategy games, and I really didn't enjoy it. On the other hand, it's decent enough that I can see some people enjoying it. If you like the idea of fine-tuning tactics with a small squad during repetitive combat for 40 hours, then you might find something here. If that's not your thing, you should probably just replay Dragon Age: Origins or Dawn of War II.

Promising attempt to create a fantasy cooperative RPG action fails because of frustrating game design, technical bugs and lousy visuals.

A monotonous attempt to relive the glory days of RPG combat.

Poor execution keeps Confrontation from ever really finding its stride.

The only thing you will find confrontational will be the game itself.
