Solid post-apocalyptic tactical adventure on PS5
If you liked Mutant Year Zero, you'll definitely enjoy Miasma Chronicles even more. If you like classic isometric Fallout games, you'll probably like Miasma too. The developers took a big leap forward and improved most of what was the weakness of their older game.

It feels like the folks at The Bearded Ladies have taken everything they’ve learned from Mutant Year Zero and put it all in their new game. Miasma Chronicles is a much better designed tactical adventure with a more appealing story. Despite the tongue and cheek writing, the game is more serious than Mutant Year Zero.
Miasma Chronicles take the ideas introduced in Mutant Year Zero and polishes them to a shine. What results is a beautiful (though trope-ish) and lore-filled post-apocalyptic adventure with plenty of challenging handcrafted combat scenarios that will surely give master tacticians a run for their money. It goes without saying that if you liked its predecessor, you’ll surely love this one. There are improvements to be made in the performance and bug department to be sure. But, all in due course, I suppose. The ladies with beards have struck gold once again.
I had a lot of fun playing Miasma Chronicles. It was top on my wishlist since the moment I saw it announced. I thoroughly enjoyed their first game Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden. I am happy to report that I enjoyed this game even more. The unforgiving combat was, of course, my favorite part of the game. Being that I am a turn-based lover. However, the story was also just as good. All of the characters were memorable and enjoyable. The story was exciting and kept me interested the whole way through. I couldn’t wait to see what happened next. I think one of the biggest things for me was the environment. The game just felt so alive. Everywhere I went, people or monsters were carrying on a conversation. The Miasma was always twirling and twisting. Threatening anything and everything around it. The interactions with the characters and the environment felt so real and genuine. I won’t be surprised if Miasma Chronicles continues to hold one of my top spots at the end of the year. I thoroughly enjoyed everything about the game. If you loved the developer’s first game, you will love this one even more. If you are into turn-based games, which is probably why you are here, then stop waiting and go get this game. You aren’t going to regret it.
One of the most remarkable games of the year within the "XCOM" style tactical RPGs. Very fun, challenging for veterans, and at the same time quite accessible for novice players.

The world-building and presentation offer much to take in and enjoy, while the combat is deep and sound, with tons of variables to constantly keep up with that can turn the tide of battle at a moment’s notice.
Miasma Chronicles combines XCOM mechanics, RPG elements and stealth into an epic post-apocalyptic adventure that ends a bit abruptly, but it's still a solid experience.

Miasma Chronicles, as the title of this review indicates, is strategic enough. And I say this with the highest esteem. An interesting visual experience, where the main characters are well characterized in a pleasant narrative. Perhaps it fails in using its surroundings to increase the experience, something that I believe that fans of the style would certainly appreciate. However, with all the good things it brings, it doesn't minimize the experience in the least. It will certainly leave a significant impression on the player.

So we have a rough game with fantastic turn-based combat with a unique twist. The setting is well-painted, but the smaller brushstrokes are messy. I love this game and am going back to finish all the side missions, but I have to dock it some points for failing to live up to its premise.
Miasma Chronicles is a serviceable tactical role playing game that puts a focus on stealth mechanics and tells a fairly engaging narrative.
Miasma Chronicles is mostly an enjoyable tactical RPG thanks to its likable set of characters and exciting story. The only major thing that holds the game down is its RNG mechanics regarding combat. Constantly missing close-range shots ruins what could have been a better experience for me.
Miasma Chronicles is a great choice for anyone who loves good tactical combat combined with an original and promising world building. It's clear that it's just the first chapter of The Bearded Ladies' new IP. The company has in its hands what could become its main franchise. Despite stumbling in its narrative construction, the plot highlights are captivating and the characters tend to improve over time. Everything else is already dominated by the developer: good combat and an exquisite art direction.

Miasma Chronicles builds itself up to be one of the better strategy games in recent years.
Miasma Chronicles is a satisfying combination of story and tactical gameplay. With its ambient audio textures and high quality graphics, you’ll find your time quickly taken over by immersive combat.
Miasma Chronicles offers a smart twist on real-time strategy and storytelling with a mixture of stealth and turn-based battles. The story is intriguing and the characters gel well and bounce off each other well. Some minor technical hiccups, combined with a limited weapon variety, frustrating difficulty and RNG do bring this down a bit but the content here is rich, enjoyable and plentiful.
Miasma Chronicles is truly like no other and is not comparable to anything else in its genre. The world is fleshed out and feels alive, and the gameplay, with its steep learning curve, offers variety and flexibility that’s not seen anywhere else. Miasma Chronicles is definitely worth your time, and you should definitely give the game a try.
