I wasn’t sure if I’d enjoy Desta: The Memories Between. On paper, the turn-based tactics game with roguelike elements shouldn’t be my jam, but I trusted that if anyone could, developer Ustwo games could change my mind about the genre. The studio has a reputation for crafting heartfelt stories with beautiful art direction and engaging gameplay, not least 2013’s runaway indie puzzle game hit Monument Valley, so I knew there would be more to this game than just taking turns to move around a battle grid map.
