Well that’s good to know. Once I find several free days hidden under the couch, I intend to fire it up.

It's a solid game, definitely worth playing.

The issue in question is that you unlock points that allow you to use more/better upgrades. Each upgrade has an ability and some stat buffs. The higher level upgrades have better buffs, but are more expensive to use. So there's a bit of micromanaging which upgrades your characters use for certain battles, since you may want certain abilities, but don't care about the stat buffs they provide.

Early game upgrades can provide some useful skills throighout the game, but may have much weaker buffs than later upgrades. It can get tedious.

Fortunately, if that stuff sounds like a pain to you, the game has an easy mode which makes most of that stuff much less relevant.

That’s helpful, thanks.
