That's one of favorite things about this game, is all about building a powerful army not boring exposition.
The battles themselves play like the
Fire emblem games
And just like the Fire emblem games, if your monsters or leaders are killed during battle they are gone forever which makes this game very challenging, imo its even more challenging than Fire emblem and you need to balance each unit very carefully. (Tip: Healers are crucial, get lots of unicorns)
Its hard for me to explain how great this game is but im not exaggerating when i say it's one of the best tactical rpg ive ever played next to
Fire emblem&
FF tactics
I left out alot of other cool details about the game to not spoil it because i want ppl that like tactical rpgs to play it themselves and see how good this game is.
