Centuries ago, a brutal beast of destruction rent the world asunder. In this time of need, the first Immortals came into their uncanny powers, powers so great that they succeeded in destroying the beast ravaging the land, where all else had failed.
Strongly influenced by games such as Final Fantasy Tactics (original and Advance versions) and Tactics Ogre, this tactical RPG stands on its own as a worthy successor of those classics, bringing a slew of improvements and additions to the tactics genre.

IMHO, a worthy successor of FFT and TO
This is a very nice strategy game based on the frame of Final Fantasy Tactics and Tactics Ogre. The combat system improves many flaws of its predecessors, making classes and items way more balanced. Though some classes are clearly better than others, most classes have some very powerful abilities and can be combined in many different ways. Some combats can be quite challenging, since the AI uses these combinations very well (but the final boss battle is disappointingly easy). Even the unique classes some characters have access to are reasonably fair. Thus, you will not have an Orlandu completely breaking the balance of the game. The only thing I did not like was the possibility of drowning characters in water. Some classes cannot swim and drown (instant death) if they fall in the water. This can be achieved by some skills that either push the character back or swap places between characters (and some enemies can even teleport then directly in the water!). Though you can benefit from this feature as well by drowning enemies, the AI uses and abuses this cheap trick whenever it can and that is quite annoying. But, nothing that jeopardizes the game. It is just very annoying when you go blindly in a scenario and this scenario provides multiple opportunities for the enemy to drown your characters (usually your healer)... The story is OK. Nothing exceptional. There are no plot twists or anything that will surprise you and keep you engaged. Everything is exactly as it looks in the first time it is shown. The one who appears as a good guy is the good guy and the one who appears as a bad guy is the bad guy. Basically no grey zones or complexity. But it is good enough to not bore or irritate you and sometimes it is even a bit entertaining. All in all, I had a great time playing this game and I would definitely recommend it for fans of the genre.
Is this helpful to you?
