Dec. 2024

Symphony of War: The Nephilim Saga is a turn-based strategy game with many rpg elements. It took me around 115 hours to get all the trophies and clear the game on the "Warlord" difficulty. The game itself is amazingly well done, with many different elements and things that affect your units/combats but it somehow manages to stay simple to understand and not overwhelm the player with too many difficult systems or rules to keep in mind. From the Fire Emblem franchise, this game took the combat grid-based map and the ability to interact with the scenario, such as capturing towns/objectives and pressing switches. It also makes use of the "affinity" system to make some units stronger if they are close to each other. The affinity system is MUCH easier to unlock and does not require any type of interaction in-battle, being entirely unlocked via reading the dialogues between each chapter. From the Ogre Battle Saga, this game brought the character classes/promotions, combat and concept of "squads" (meaning each unit you have is actually comprised of a squad, with a leader and other mercenaries). The element to which each character belongs to also plays a role and, in order to optimize your units, you will want characters with specific elements for specific roles (water for casters, earth for tanking, etc.). You can change the element of any unit using not-so-rare items, so you can fix any character you want. To say that this game only took elements from both aforementioned games and put them together is a big injustice, as this game IMPROVED on them with its own system, getting the good world of both games and merging them into a single entity. The creators did so much stuff right that its impossible to not enjoy the experience. The story is also very good and the units have in-battle voice! You can choose to play a male or female protagonist and you have many romance options (options are different for each gender but both have homossexual romance options as well, if you enjoy).

Honestly a good strategy turn-based game for the casual gamer. It offers a great way to kill time offering relaxed vibes and a pretty compelling storyline. It offers a really good second monitor type game of if you need something to play and/or to keep the ability to go AFK. Also due to its low graphics requirements it is perfect for airport off-grid gaming. I would buy this game again. 8.5/10 Pros: * Low hardware requirements for your computer to run the game * Really fun to take your time and plan out your moves and can be semi challenging throughout the campaign. * Building out and developing your units is a fun enough mechanic. * Game is pretty forgiving if you mess up unless you want it to be more challenging. * If you are a perfectionist gamer this can keep you busy for hours 50+ in just one play through. * Units fully refunding resources when changing a unit's class makes it easy to try different unit set-ups. * Guide in game on each of the units and power ups as well as lore is easily accessible and has quite a decent amount of information so you do not have to guess how to play the game if you read through it. Cons: * There is not much replay-ability to the core gameplay loop. * Individual scenarios can take a long time to complete due to enemy animation times. (This can be speed up, but not skipped). * You cannot see how things like damages or chance to crit are calculated. This would be nice to have if you are the min/max type of player.

This is the Ogre Battle 64 sequel I have wanted for over 20 years. There are some mechanical differences, but the key elements are all there. Don't be put off by the RPGMaker graphics, simple tilesets, or predictable story. The gameplay is what matters, and they've nailed it. There is a surprising amount of class depth and map depth. Each mission is a unique puzzle board to figure out. I would advise playing on the maximum difficulty + permadeath OFF. This keeps the game strategic and interesting, without ever becoming tedious. You don't want to play on standard difficulty and end up in a situation where one squad (Diana) just crushes everything thrown at her. That's not strategic, nor is it fun, and you're a nerd playing tactical RPGs, so start off on "Ludicrous" and enjoy the challenge.

What at a cursory glance looks to be uninspired mid-tier RPG-maker shovelware actually mendaciously belies a shockingly deep, fun, and enjoyable battle tactics simulator! It probably could benefit from a little more streamlined art direction- between the chibi cutscene sprites, the map sprites, the full-detail character portraits, and the battle sprites, it feels like the art direction is spread a little broad instead of holding to a more focused aesthetic- but that and a few minor grammatical errors do not detract from a surprisingly fun and customizeable game. 8/10, would recommend to strategy gamers and Fire Emblem fans.

March 2024

Awesome game for those of you who loved Ogre Tactics! Great replayability and with the new DLC you can randomize and ramp up the game difficulty.
