The game gives you all the tools you need and more to complete every map, and it's up to you how to use them. Character builds are very flexible and adjustable before each map to fit the situation, so if you're getting stuck somewhere it might be time to rethink your strategy.

A concrete example from my first playthrough: I was facing a large group of beasts and kept losing and losing. Up until then I had just been bringing my favorite characters in terms of personality, but when I instead brought a heavy phalanx frontline to keep my guys in the back safe, that encounter became a breeze since the enemy was too slow to even touch my backline.

The game isn't particularly difficult, but there's lots of this in the game. Facing undead? Bring someone who can do exorcism. The enemy has a lot of archers? Equip weapons/skills that let you deflect arrows. I am simplifying, and there's always more than one solution to each problem, but you're going to need to plan for each map before you go in.

Tactical RPG's are my favorite genre of games, and Tactics Ogre (not Ogre Battle) in any of it's many iterations is my favorite. No game is perfect but it does so many things so, so well. Matsuno's magnum opus. The latest version, Tactics Ogre Reborn added high quality voice acting which I really love.

I much prefer handheld. I know about handheld PC's.

edit: and the physical version wasn't released in Europe, so I had to wait for an import. Decided to buy a digital PC copy meanwhile.

I love this game. I finished a 100% playthrough a month ago on PC, and when my Switch import arrived, I did a playthrough of it there as well.

That's a bun right there.

Thanks for the compassion and discussion today. I saw your other comment about keeping all virtual cards on the primary console and you're 100% right. I've been mulling over this all day but that solution just... Didn't occur to me. Thanks again!

I am a self-certified memeology expert and I can attest to this meme's banger quality, with and without context.

 
 

The game itself isn't very fun or interesting at all imo, but I do love this artwork. It's a simple puzzle game where you draw a path from your character to the girl, while avoiding letting the bully reach her. The title translates to something like "Love is a Strategy Game"

 
 

Since the GBA lacked dedicated sound hardware, I think this is very impressive, even despite the bitcrushed vocals 💀

 

So I've been playing the first SaGa game, following the announcement of the new SaGa: Emerald Beyond that will release in 2024. I've never played a SaGa game before, but I love how rough around the edges and unconventional it is. You really have to use your imagination a bit sometimes and not interpret everything literally. The whole game kind of feels like a bizarre fever dream. This "cactus" included.
