Fantasy Wars Tactics Review
I'm currently stuck with mobile game published by NexonGT called Fantasy Wars Tactics. I've tried so many mobile games until now, and what I can say, all of thems are "not good enough to fill my hunger", except Fantasy Wars Tactics.
Let's look at the trailer:
Well, that was the animation version. This is the other trailer:
If you're a RPG lovers, I think this is gonna suit you well. You will love this game. Great story, nice animation, unique heroes and the best thing is, it's a tactical game. Talking about tactical games, now I remembered old tactical games like Tactic Ogre and Final Fantasy Tactics. It's sure bring back memories.
The actual gameplay is fairly standard strategy RPG stuff with the added benefit of friendly units being able to team up for added damage if they’re within range of the same target. It’s a simple mechanic but one that makes each battle feel just a little bit less standard. The only thing that sticks is you can’t jump back and forth between characters during your turn – you have to use them in the order that they’re placed into your team.
Well, not all games are perfect, this games also comes with several weaknesses. It's a little bit grind-y at a some point, just to be stronger just to pass certain map. And then the "Energy System", well it's a mobile game after all. It's a normal thing in mobile games nowadays. The last unpleasant thing in this game is "Auto" system, where you hit button "Auto" and let the game play itself. But, you can't expect to use "Auto" system all the times because sometimes when facing new map, boss, monster, using your brain is a better choice. Anyway, I use "Auto System" for grinding only, not gonna do the same battle twice.
Ultimately though, Fantasy War Tactics is a pretty darned entertaining strategy RPG. It doesn’t punish players too much with premium teases and in-app purchases, and there’s usually plenty to do even after you run out of the energy needed to fight stuff. It could really do with a character selection option, though.
