The story is, a magical door arrived at The Hero Academy. The Headmaster, while fiddling with knobs, got sucked into the tenth level of some alternate dimension. It's up to a rag-tag bunch of amateur students to roam the scary halls, battle foes and level up along the way in order to save him (and hopefully receive 'extra credit' ed.)

This game has appealed where other games have not in the past. It tells you clearly when you can end your turn. The characters all look different (and excellent) and where they can travel/attack is clear to be seen. Switching weapons is as simple as one mouse click; not a ten-level deep menu screen.

Perhaps the most interesting thing is that from the outset there seems to be something to do. You're not placed in an empty field and asked to find the story on your own. Without knowing the story beforehand, it's clear to see you have to go from room to room killing things. One of your characters is "healer" - so when another gets poisoned, it's as clear as day what you need to do. There are treasure chests, open them and get stuff.
