Wintermoor Tactics Club Reviews
Wintermoor Tactics Club is perfect for newcomers to the genre, but doesn't offer much for experienced tactics players
Wintermoor Tactics Club is a nice tactical title with some charming characters, minimistic visual style and an average plot. If you're new to the genre, chances are you will have a great time. But everyone else, especially hardcore X-COM fans, would probably find Wintermoor a bit to easy for its own good.

In spite of a few flaws, this game's delightful charm totally won me over.
If you enjoy visual novels and a good laugh, Wintermoor Tactics Club is sure to be a good fit for your library.
The indie strategy game Wintermoor Tactics Club is one of the better children's books I've ever played. Kids will love it, but adults may find it too simple.
Wintermoor Tactics Club is fine choice for those who are seeking a tactical RPG that is a bit on the simpler side. I wish the load times were better and that it had some voice acting to help pull me into the experience a bit more. Hardcore fans of the genre may find it a bit easy but I would still recommend it for the interesting story that it has to tell, the hand-drawn visual style, and the wonderful soundtrack.
While the gameplay can be a little bit slow in Wintermoor Tactics Club, the battles are amazing and the story is very intriguing. It is a small, charming little tale that is very enjoyable and has obviously had a lot of work put into it. This title is recommendable to anyone that enjoys strategy table-top games like Dungeons & Dragons. It is wonderful when played on-the-go.
Wintermoor Tactics Club is a safe, comfortable, and perfectly enjoyable tactics game. It's not ambitious or particularly challenging; it's a game that is pleasant to play but will probably be overlooked in favor of bigger titles. I absolutely recommend giving it a shot if you enjoy tactics games or want to try out the genre. Sometimes it's fine to just be a solid title without breaking the mold.
WintermoorTcatics Club is an indie game as all indie games should be: it is not flashy, overcomplicated, or very long, but manages to be fun and exciting without the AAA budget. It is a single-player experience that any RPG fan should experience.
Wintermoor Tactics Club brings a captivating, well-thought-out and fun story that helps you load up its simple combat system and poorly designed controls. Its ambientation and ideas should bring newcomers to the genre, even if it leaves veterans wanting more.

At the end of the semester, Wintermoor Tactics Club earns a passing grade for its accessible gameplay and charming story beats, but there's red ink all over the Switch's performance. If you don't mind frequent loading screens and stuttering, consider grabbing this version for the portability, but playing on PC might offer a more enjoyable experience.
With it's colorful and joyful style, Wintermoor Tactics Club offers an enjoyable 10 hours.

Wintermoor Tactics Club is an interesting tactical game with an intricate story, well-drawn characters and plenty of challenges. Play Lord of the Cave, write stories for your friends, and most importantly, survive high school unscathed as danger lurks at every turn. For me, the sometimes unnecessarily long and boring conversations, coupled with the impression of unfinished backgrounds and the inability to restart the whole attempt during a conflict, slightly spoil the overall impression of an otherwise fun turn-based game.

When you think of the tactical RPG genre the words “accessible” don’t normally come to mind but Wintermoor Tactics Club is just that sort of surprise...
Although Wintermoor Tactics Club is a fairly casual, shorter experience, its well-written narrative and relatable characters makes it an easy recommendation.
This game is awesome. The ending had me laughing and then in tears. Other than the reference noted above that I really wish they hadn’t made, this was easily one of the best games it has been my pleasure to play on the Switch to date. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and am definitely going to be using the many autosaves from my first play through to go back and tackle some of the battles again.
Overall Wintermoor Tactics Club is an alright game. The story is held up by solid dialogue, an interesting premise, and a cast of characters that are endearing enough to cover up some of the game’s flaws. Unfortunately, those flaws were ultimately too much for me to completely ignore and I left Wintermoor feeling disappointed. This is an incredibly accessible title for gamers who don’t have much experience with Tactical RPGs, however, if you’ve ever seen the box art for a TRPG, then you probably have enough experience to waltz through Wintermoor without breaking a sweat.
As a fan of Final Fantasy Tactics, I really enjoyed the mechanics and story within Wintermoor Tactics Club. The short combat missions were great as they didn’t last too long yet they let you experiment with multiple character load-outs and various unlockable skills which you get as you progress in the story, keeping every new battle varied and exciting. The story which holds the game together was well-written and intriguing, keeping me hooked until the end as I really wanted to find out what was ‘really’ happening at the Academy. It’s a shame there’s no voice acting but the music created the perfect atmosphere and fans of tactical strategic games will really enjoy the mechanics during the battles.
I spent 14 hours with Wintermoor. It was charming and engaging, with some snappy writing and pretty decent art direction. I liked the world of Wintermoor Academy. If I had one major complaint, it would be the tedium of walking back and forth between areas of the school during fetch quests. There aren’t many in the game, thankfully, but it did tend to drag the pacing a bit for me. And while the music is solid overall, I do wish there had been more variety. As it goes though, those are pretty minor nitpicks.
Wintermoor Tactics Club could have made a profound political statement and misses, resulting in milquetoast dilution.
