The DioField Chronicle Reviews
The DioField Chronicle is a solid strategic RPG that manages to bring out the nuances of warfare on an island coveted by the ambitions of various individuals. Despite being a bit repetitive in combat design and a few hurried twists, it's a high-quality example of the genre and one that's well worth a try.

The DioField Chronicle has an extremely addictive and well-constructed live-action combat system, as well as a beautiful artwork. However, it suffers from flat characters and an unattractive story.

I look at Triangle Strategy as a game that does everything right that The Diofield Chronicle gets wrong. The story and characters aren’t inherently bad but are ultimately forgettable and uninteresting. The strategy gameplay is engaging and unique but fails to stick the landing. The visuals are pretty but simplistic and lack any sense of real identity. Not to mention the soundtrack and audio obscure good voice acting. At its current price of $59.99 USD, The Diofield Chronicle is difficult to recommend. Personally, I would wait for a sale and lower my expectations. There’s so much about this game that feels unfinished. I was surprised that it was installed from the disc on Xbox Series X and in the time that I played it, not once did the game require an update. To be honest, I think Square Enix simply got the game out and I’d be surprised if it received any improvements in the future.
Square Enix delivers a fascinating strategic game that will make lovers of the genre strive to find the different ways to achieve their goal. With a battle system that is easy to understand, the depth of the game and its formulas allow the challenge to reach as far as each one wants to go, achieving a personalized and dedicated experience for each player. The gameplay can become addictive due to its speed and the fun of the games, being framed by an interesting story, which although it varies between epic moments and weak moments that can make it irregular, in general it is quite inspired. We add to this an outstanding soundtrack and a characteristic design of the company.

A unique approach to tactical RPG combat makes The DioField Chronicle a solid offering that lacks a worthwhile story and cast of characters to make the most of the game’s strengths.
The DioField Chronicle is a good game with a somewhat haphazard narrative structure and whose gameplay is sometimes not very fluid. Still, we will have fun with the adventures of Andrias and company: not everything has to be AAA games.

The Diofield Chronicle excels with fantastic strategic elements that give a fresh take on the genre. The game moves away from the traditional turn-based chessboard movement system and allows for a deep real-time strategy involving a diverse unit customization system. However, The Diofield Chronicle fails to deliver a solid overall experience because of its basic plot, bland visuals, and lack of engaging side activities. Players don’t have a reason to get attached to the characters and the story, making the playthrough a tedious one. The game certainly shows promise, and it looks like the developers have a solid framework they can work on here, making us look forward to what the next iteration of The Diofield Chronicle will look like.
If you're hankering for a new SRPG to play, The DioField Chronicle barely scratches that itch but there are worse ways to spend your time.
The DioField Chronicle effortlessly combines real-time strategy and tactical turn-based gameplay. Featuring a very approachable battle system that streamlines several elements of it’s presentation, so the focus always remains on combat. Albeit, the story is often too preoccupied with politics and plot-specific events that the audience probably won’t care too much about, along with a steep difficulty curve that forces players to complete optional content and AI that makes some rather silly decisions at times. If you can get past these issues however, the addictive hybrid gameplay should keep you hooked throughout.
