You can yiff

>>715223687 (OP)
Yep

>>715223745
fpbp, atleast their next game won't be an autobattler.

>>715223687 (OP)
It's troop management, deployment management, and relationship management. The battles are all automated.

The result is a better tactics and strategy game than most out there because it feels more like you are controlling a battlefield through putting the right troops in the right spots while capturing key areas. It's more a mix of an RTS with a tactics engine underneath. It's an odd duck in a very good way.

The story is EXTREMELY generic, however, the art, writing, and characters for that story are done very well and this proves you don't have to be unique with your story to deliver a really good story.

Visually it Vanillaware, so it's damn good and highly stylized. Be warned, it might make you a furry.

Worse than Kumatanchi?

>>715224076
The game focus on battlefield tactics more than individual battles. I can understand that bothering people though. It's really nice having a tactics game actually be a game about tactics instead of a skirmish game in my personal opinion.

People that never played it call it an autobattler

>>715223787
You can yiff, or marry your cousin, or even your stepdad.

>>715224483
They aren't wrong for calling it an autobattler when the battles are automated. Honestly, I blame FFT and Tactics Ogre for warping people's mind on what a tactics game is supposed to be.

>>715223897
What is with this retarded breastplate tanktop design Alain has? Siegfried has the same thing in SC6

Honestly didn't care for it when I played the demo. Does it get better or is that a good indication?

Same with Triangle Strategy. It sucks cause I like those types of games but couldn't get into either, loved Tactics Ogre Reborn though

It's alright but drags on for so fucking long with battles that play the exact same that i never managed to make it past elfland.

>>715224483
After the first hour it is. It's extremely repetitive and you can just make all your groups the same and fly.
Only exception is the arena which takes some effort.
It's an ok game, just dragged out longer than the gameplay justifies.

>>715225239
It actually picks up with the snow area being the best part of the game beyond the first few hours, though sadly dips again with the angel country

bikini armor, but for Manly Men with Massive Muscles

it's mobile gacha autobattling

>randomly quoted some other guy
oops

>>715224767
Explain to me how Fire Emblem is not an auto battler.

The fuck, how did this one get a sale before 13 Sentinels, I’ve been waiting for almost a year now

>>715223687 (OP)
It's a drag halfway through

>>715223687 (OP)
I loved it

>>715223687 (OP)
Yeah

>>715223687 (OP)
THESE NIGGAS MADE ONE OF THE BEST BEAT EM UPS AND THEN WENT BACK TO MAKE GARBAGE SOMEONE SPLAIN DIS SHIT TO ME

>>715223687 (OP)
i found it kinda boring

I bought it on recommendation from here, am currently playing it (70 hours in) and it is definitely the best game I've played this year.
Probably wouldn't have played without recommendation, because I've hated every Vanillaware game I've ever played. But this is Ogre Battle with gambits and is great.
If you want a challenge, refrain from using consumables. That seems to be the real difficulty option. Without them, the timers are extremely tight and you have to plan resting.

>>715226241
The idea of adding grinding to a beat em up is beyond vile. I fucking hate Dragon's Crown.

>>715223687 (OP)
I haven't played it because the choice between ryujinx and yuzu has me paralyzed for both switch games they made.

>>715223687 (OP)
$20 is a good price. It's alright.
Very generic but the amazing presentation does manage to carry a lot of it. Gameplay is nothing to write home about, you'll either be bored or will tolerate it for the sake of seeing all the cool characters.

They were clearly huffing their own farts when making the first trailer claiming that UO was supposed to be this big "rebirth of fantasy RPGs" though. UO was not it. It was fine but forgettable.

I don't know why it has taken someone so long to put out a good Ogre Battlelike.
Tactics Ogre clones are fucking boring yet there is ten trillion of them.

>>715223687 (OP)
I liked it but never finished it because the last act pulls a Gladius and forces you to use hard counters for certain units abruptly, invalidating all your carefully cultivated god builds for the Colosseum. I put so much time into them I couldn't bring myself to shuffle everything around again to incorporate rock paper scissors angel fags.

>>715223687 (OP)
Unicorn Overlord is Ogre Battle with Vanillaware art. If that doesn't tell you whether or not you would like the game then I don't know what will.

My only complaint was that it kinda dragged near the end. The last area that you can go to just felt unnecessary and didn't add anything new that I cared about. Other than that, though, I enjoyed it quite a bit.

>>715226731
I think you are exaggerating a bit. You need to slightly change things to counter blindness. Otherwise, they are just flying enemies, which are extremely annoying but are all over act 2 as well. You'll want to change things up anyway because they give you all the new units.

>>715223687 (OP)
GOTY 2024, I highly recommend it if you love team building and figuring out sequencing

>>715227132
It reminded me of Ogre Battle, Fire Emblem, and FFXII, all games I like, but it also felt really shallow and dull at the same time.

The story was a really weak point, when in games like this I've come to expect that to be a main focus.

Really? It's pretty clear the focus is on the gameplay and the story is just the dressing
