Square Enix has had an incredible year so far, full of surprise hits like Triangle Strategy, Stranger of Paradise, and The Centennial Case. It’s been a year of smaller, more unique titles and the next step in that is The Diofield Chronicle. As a brand new strategy title, from Square Enix, it’s easy to see how expectations could be high, but the lengthy demo for Diofield Chronicle makes a bit of a mixed impression. It’s a game that’s clearly going to be a slow burn and shows a lot promise. But I’m worried all the elements might not come together.
