Great game, combining turn-based tactics, squad building and unit leveling. Saw being described as a merge of Fire Emblem and Ogre Battle, and it's a very accurate description. Mission maps and turn-based logic is just like fire emblem, while squads and units work just like Ogre Battle. If you like both, this game is a must have.
But it must be said its interface is not that improved, and the amount of clicks needed for things like finding out which units could retrained into another class feels like 20 years ago.
Sadly, it needs some more transparency regarding mathematics and game mechanics. Also, why there isn't some guidance on making a whole-cloth units, I do not know.
This was a fun Fire Emblem like. Buidling a powerful army to cut through the opposing armies makes it worth playing through the game, especially if you like tinking with the different classes to ge the highest squad rating you can. The sound track is great and the controls are fine. They upgraded the character portraits, I just wished they had fixed soem clunky writing the game has. Story starts off strong but kina falls flat toward genericville towards the end. A little bit of a rewrite could have kept it going so whats going on at least makes more sense about why characters are acting like they are. Still a fun tactical game and worth a play or two.
The story is nothing to write home about but there are many units and combinations of squads that you can play with, kinda fun fiding out what works and what doesn't.
