Goblin Slayer Another Adventurer: Nightmare Feast Reviews
There are loads of great tactics games out there, and unfortunately Goblin Slayer -Another Adventurer- Nightmare Feast just can't hang with them.
Goblin Slayer -Another Adventurer- Nightmare Feast will not be enough to win people over to SRPGs or to the game's source material. But if you're already a fan of either (or both), it does more than enough to keep you entertained throughout.
Much like Triangle Strategy, both games suffer from having to compete with Final Fantasy Tactics and Tactics Ogre. No SRPG has ever or likely will ever come close to achieving such greatness. You’re better off revisiting those two classics if you need to scratch the strategy RPG itch.
Goblin Slayer is a perfectly adequate tactics JRPG that people who have nostalgia for the genre back on the PlayStation will have a particular fondness for. Mileage may be slightly better for the fans of the anime, but even then I think the big problem this game has is that it’s very superficial and shows very little interest in making any kind of statement or point. In other words, it plays exactly like an ‘anime tie-in’ game, and nothing more or less than that.
Goblin Slayer -Another Adventurer- Nightmare Feast is the kind of game that doesn't give a good first impression but after a while, it really opens up in impressive ways so stick to it and you'll see that it's one great SRPG. 👺
To those who haven’t seen the anime, it’s just another SRPG, and maybe they’ll like the story and check it out. For those who are fans of the anime, they’ll enjoy that it isn’t just a redo of stuff they’ve already seen while also getting a handful of subtle references.
If you're a Goblin Slayer fan, this is one of those cases where it may be worth your time as a fan, but I recommend waiting for a sale, as, despite offering enough time for an RPG, there are better games in offer. If you're not a Goblin Slayer fan, just ignore it and find better SRPGs in the market.

Goblin Slayer Another Adventurer: Nightmare Feast has appeal for old school tactical RPG fans but does little to stand out.
Goblin Slayer Another Adventurer: Nightmare Feast delivers a solid tactical RPG experience. It achieves what it sets out to do, offering an engaging, albeit straightforward, story. Fans of the Goblin Slayer franchise will likely appreciate the narrative and character interactions more than newcomers, as familiarity with the source material enhances the experience.
When it comes to Goblin Slayer Another Adventurer: Nightmare Feast it started as a weird experience. It took a while before I felt anything for the game, and that doesn't usually happen for me. I didn't start feeling anything till about two or so hours in about anything. However, it does offer a moderately enjoyable experience, especially for fans of the series. But it doesn’t stand out in the crowded RPG landscape. Its tactical gameplay can be fun but is hindered by clunky mechanics and uneven difficulty. While it captures the essence of the Goblin Slayer universe, the game ultimately feels like a missed opportunity to deliver something truly memorable.
