Empire of Angels IV is a perfectly fine game. But you may have noticed that’s a recurring theme of this review; the combat is okay, the story is okay, and the artistic direction is okay. The game does everything just fine, but it doesn’t particularly excel in any one area.

Critic reviews
- 6.0Empire of Angels IV is a strange strategy RPG with a narrative that conflicts so heavily with the game’s tone. You’ll likely ignore all reasoning for why any of this is happening and just be happy with a clever battle system. With some improvements and added modern options, the next entry could very well be worth the wait, but be sure to know what you’re getting into here.
- 7.0Still, with impressive production values and reasonably solid gameplay, this one might find fans among those who can't get enough of this genre. I can at least say it's the first game I've played in a while that let me hit someone so hard that their trousers fell off. That's got to count for something.
- 5.0Ultimately, there's a solid foundation for a good game here. I think Softstar Entertainment has put themselves on the hook with all the silly waifu inserts, as it will instantly make many people opt out. With more focus on the narrative and a bit more polish to the game system, this would have been a title I could instantly recommend to those craving a strategic role-playing game.
- 5.0It all makes for this being a tricky one to score. As a gameplay experience, Empire of Angels IV is all good with a decent story and engaging combat mechanics, but the outdated depiction of female characters drags things down somewhat. In fact, the good and the bad pretty much balance each other out, leaving this turn-based strategy experience slap bang in middle-of-the-road territory.
