Rebirth of Fortune app for iPhone and iPad
Strategy RPG with Customizable Units!
“Rebirth of Fortune” is a tactical role-playing game borrowing the combat mode made famous by such Strategy RPGs as “Tactics Ogre” and “Final Fantasy Tactics.”Up to eight of your units battle hoards of mercenaries in turn-based, strategic combat on various terrains.
Upgrade and customize your own units to compete in a chess-like strategy game of position and power.
Goal of the Game:
Your eight individual units share a mutual relationship and utilize various strategies and skills according to their disposition. A devisive strategy is required to beat each of 200 stages and various enemy AIs. If you eradicate the enemy you will be rewarded, and using the rewards fund you can upgrade your units and prepare for greater combat.
The Game Rules
1. Before combat you should customize your force and position your units within the spaces allowed. Create and position your units according to the strategy you devise.
2. When it is your turn you select your unit to move and designate the act (attack/special). One turn is limited to 30 seconds, and if your action is not completed in 30 seconds your turn will be passed to the enemy.
3. Unit color turns dark and the unit becomes disabled after it acts. It can act again when the unit color returns to normal a few turns. This attribute is related to the agility of the unit. Units of high agility have relatively short periods of time to be reactivated.
4. You can move the unit to attack the enemy within the units individual range of attack. You need a proper strategy according to the terrain and the attributes of your units because each unit has its own field of movement, range and method of attack, and damage value.
5. Once you select to attack an enemy unit, a white circle appears on your screen, which continuously changes its size larger and smaller. This is related to the attack power and accuracy rate. Inflict maximum damage on the enemy unit by touching the circle at its smallest. Also, the most favorable attack positions are when you are standing beside or behind the enemy unit.
6. After your unit performs its action you choose in which direction your unit will wait. The unit receives different damage values according to the direction it faces when attacked.
7. The jeweled icons and gauge bars at the top of the screen indicate special techniques available. Some units use just one orb per special, while others use more (up to five, for extremely powerful spells/buffs). When the gauge fills up, a new orb appears. The gauge bar fills up slowly over time, but fills faster when your unit is attacked or killed.
8. Each unit has a unique special ability according to its class and orbs available. Special techniques are very powerful and can turn the tides of war. You should be ready to collect orbs and use the proper special technique according to your situation in battle.
9. When you progress in battle and anihilate the entire enemy team, you win. Because the healer unit has no means of attack, a team is considered destroyed even if it has a healer still alive. With the compensation obtained from victory, you should upgrade your units and get ready for the next battle.
10. In the beginning you wont be able to use all eight units. You should upgrade your available units with the war funds obtained from battle, and youll be able to use the locked units upon meeting the unlocking requirements. This configuration is a sort of growth tree.
Pros and cons of Rebirth of Fortune app for iPhone and iPad
Rebirth of Fortune app good for
This game is great! plays identical to final fantasy tactics except the characters are generic classes with set abilities and the maps are all just chess boards. However you build class levels for better stats and unlock more classes.
Being so simple its incredibly addictive with quick matches you can play anywhere!
For 0.99 this is a steal, seeing how i bought song summoner last week (which is also great) and i cant put this one down to save me!
I was bored and wanted a new game so I tried this out and am very pleased! It is very addicting!
Characters could be more distinct when they turn dark. Kinda hard to tell who are my units. Also needs more stages
All in all the game is good how ever the enemy needs a time limit too. Not to make it fair but if your last standing character is a invisible ninja the comp does nothing and you must restart the map
If u like SRPGs like ff tactics or tactic ogre ull defnitly love this game... And NO im not related with the company loll.. As if they would vote or rate themselves... AHEMidiot
Anyways, if you want a srpg for iphone or ipod touch this is the ONLY srpg game besides square enixs song summoner, wich i didnt get the chance t play cuz its like 10$ and im not getting it unless it goes on sale...but to go back to the topic, the only bad things i found about this game is that.. Sometimes i was pressing somewhere and it didnt do anything... And since we have a countdown, i lost a turn trying to make an action(at least not too often lol) and second thing we cant cancel actions, and since the controls are not perfectly responsive, i happend to lose my turn again lol... But its not that bad since if u loose, u restart the same level u were on... Anyway great game, ill defnitly put up 5 stars if theres an update or patch or somethin to fix these issues... We want more games like this one, trust me!
Have been playing it daily since it came out. Great graphics, very enjoyable gameplay, huge replay value. Very highly recommended!
Some bad moments
Save your 99c.
Graphics 4/5 great looking sprites.
Sound 2/5 nothing special
Gameplay 0/5 controls are nonresponsive and clumsy. Theres also a time limit per turn - youre struggling with the controls for most of that time limit.
Extras 0/5. There is no story at all. The instructions are also horrendously written (expected it since the app write up was terrible).
Overall 1/5 the controls killed this game. Frustrating and just not fun at all. As an avid fan of turn based strategy games, I cant understand how anyone can rate this game high, unless they are affiliated with the company.
Love srpgs! but lack of story and the worst controls Ive experienced in a while, destroy what should be a fun and rewarding experience. Dont let the pretty graphics and fftactics look fool you, this aint no square game. Got it for free and Im still pissed off I wasted time on this frustrating game.
Pros: 1) Looks amazing
2) tactical RPG style
Cons: 1) controls unresponsive which is made worse by the 30 second timer which leads to wasted turns because the unit you are trying to select will not register your touch. I consider this fatal flaw #1
2) No story, not even a bad one, despite using a tactical RPG style gameplay, I consider this to be fatal flaw #2
In other words: dont waste your money or your time on this unless they get around to fixing the controls, get rid of the timer (though some may like it, maybe only have it for 2 player?) and adding a story for single player
The controls are unresponsive, and you only have 30 seconds to make a move. This makes the game difficult to learn and even harder to master. This could be a great game, but it has too many flaws to be said worth purchasing. I played for 2 minutes and got too frustrated to go on.
I cant believe I got this for free!! I cant wait to try muiltiplayer! Whoever rates this 3 stars or less are frieken noobs!!!!!!!
Pros: easy to upgrade units, long game,quick load.
Cons: crashes often, enemies sometimes get double/triple turns at a time, random squares that one hit kill your units, unit cap to low, lags sometimes, unresponsive controls.
