Inverse’s Robin Bea realizes a revolution through the influential power of streaming in The Great Villainess: Strategy of Lily, the crowd-controlling turn-based strategy game produced by One or Eight (LOST EPIC) and Alliance Arts, which is currently available on PC via Steam.
“Most people, if they were falsely accused of assassinating a king, would probably try their best to clear their name. But then again, most people wouldn’t make very good video game protagonists. For the star of Steam’s most strangely captivating new strategy game, that false accusation isn’t a threat, but a way to make a name for herself.”
“The Great Villainess is an unorthodox strategy game in a lot of ways, just like its protagonist. I’ve certainly never played a game that made me think about supply lines and pickup lines the same amount, nor has a strategy game ever made me laugh out loud this much. Combat itself is dense and idiosyncratic in a way that I wouldn’t enjoy in just any game, but the bizarre fusion of strategy and story here has made it an unexpected favorite for me this year.”
