Ever wonder what happens to the NPC generic characters you pick up in a game such as Final Fantasy Tactics? This is more their story, the bottom of the litter who get left behind as the strong push further into the world they have found themselves in. The party takes their adventuring at a snails pace, attempting to accept the world they have found themselves in.
Welcome an archer who can't fire arrows properly and stands in the frontline with a dagger.
A thief that can't DPS or assassinate properly and has taken a tank role.
A Knight that is afraid to tank.
A Healer that holds the front line despite being the core of the team.
A Mage whom has the utility of a support from League of Legends.
A darknight who off tanks and DPSs (doing his job correctly i might add)
The cast is set and the growth of these would be heroes is a long road.
The pacing for the story is fairly slow, but is meant to capture the essence and the very atmosphere of these characters. They are not good at what they do, and the series attempts to make it painfully obvious as they grow into goblin slayers.
I found myself grinning as the characters steadily grew, doubtful of their complacency, and on edge as they fought for their lives. If you're looking for a series to slowly wind into the World of Grimgar should be a welcome home.
