As close as you can get to a Final Fantasy Tactics game...
I summed up my opinion at the end, I am going over the details of some aspects of this game:
1) The game does not have a tutorial, the website on the game starts in japanese (might be wrong on the language), but if you scroll to the bottom, youll see information that might help out. By the third, fourth battle, youll get the used to the gameplay in this game. Even earlier if you have played games like Final Fantasy Tactics.
2) The gameplay can be a unforgiving in the movement or control of a character if you are not careful. For instance, I can move the archer sprite to a certain spot, only to realize that the enemy is too far off to attack, but I cant backtrack, so I have to end the turn. You can undo an attack, if say, i clicked on a sprite i didnt want to, but thats about it =/
3) It is a very light RPG, in which the reward you get for winning in a battlefield are points towards levelling the character class. You pay, say, 200 points, and you raise the Soldier one level, to help it improve. Theres no weapons, or armor to customize the sprite (like Ogre Battle 64, to show an example), which is simple enough.
4) The music isnt amazing, no victory fanfare when you win or depressing one when you lose. The visuals arent amazing as well. It doesnt make me want to delete the game, though.
5) I havent tested the Multi Play mode, so I couldnt review it. It uses the iPhone/iPod Touchs Bluetooth, so no online play.
I managed to get this game for free. And 99 cents is decent enough, any higher would be way too much. The game has potential, and its very, VERY simple. Its just not a perfect game, but, unless Final Fantasy Tactics, Ogre Battle 64 or Tactics Ogre, this is pretty much the most similar game to them thats on the App Store as far as I know. If you want a really, really, simple rpg strategy game similar to the aforementioned games, try this games lite version to see if its up your alley.
