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.

A worthy spiritual successor
FFT (1998) casts a long shadow. Far too many later games of this genre especially the Nippon Ichi ones are way too reliant on stats, where you can simply overlevel the enemy and then have your mage facetank melee enemies and punch them to death. I hate when strategy gets thrown out simply because you have a bigger numerical dong. I'm glad to report this game manages to (mostly) avoid this. While you can still powergrind, the per-level gap is smaller so you'd have to grind a ton. It's way faster, more efficient, and FUN, to play intelligently. This game also avoids FFT's mistake of making debuffs be impossible to stick, whereas here the early classes can debuff at >70%, making them far more reliable. You'll still want to put down a dangerous caster quickly but at least you have a fair shot at shutting them up instead of eating fireballs the whole time. While FFT still takes the cake with variety, it's nothing to sneeze at here either. It's not as easy to break the game though, so while most builds are viable you won't duplicate FFT's crazy combinations like Calculating all enemies into frogs in turn 1. The game has a decidedly more grounded direction, you'll need to think for your victories and not rely on overpowered gimmicks. The story is decent but if you don't click with the characters it can get dull as it follows them closely. I want to learn more about the game world but sadly lore is sparse - though understandable as this isn't AAA and they didn't have the resources to flesh it out more. One major con (for ME) is there's no gear stealing (lol). I love stealing shit. You can't do that here :( This was confirmed to be a deliberate design choice. Ah well. There's secrets though, and many treasures can only be reached with the appropriate movement ability, giving you reason to revisit maps. There's also some crafting and it's handled well, not too much busywork. All in all worth the asking price, definitely recommended.
