All the extra time that gets put into battle tactics since you don't have to grind out levels and such makes it really enjoyable for anyone who likes strategy games. It's kind of hard to get into at first since a lot of on the fly decision making requires knowledge of standard movesets, EV spreads, etc. But once you do, the predictions and sacrifices made during battles get really intricate in high rated matches.

Then you have games like that one where the opening turns are... silly.
