Old-school turn-based strategy game... but surprisingly deep and fun to play

Some things were just keepIng me from getting this game. First, the team of little girls, ...well, not exactly an RPG you're dying to play ... second, obviously it´s anime look and cheesy characters were just saying RELAX ,DON'T DO IT... but time passes and the price goes down, too. So "This is the moment", I said. And that's because anything that says "TACTICS", for me is good.

And I'm glad I did, I can't stop playing it, (my guilty pleasure), and once again "Living without sleeping..." no good, no good...

The game is turn-based,
(my top-of-the-list gameplay style, seen more often on computer games).
with a fresh new "simultaneous or independent battle system", and the dark energy is just another addition. You'll be playing for hours trying to get those items charged and customised... And is sooooo... but soooooo... old-school this game, that you have no more options. Or you accept it or you sell it back... so I decided to keep playing... the rest is history... If this game were more expensive today, I would have given it an 8.0
But, since it's cheap now it's a 9.1 JUST FUN. DEEP STRATEGIC GAME.

    From the minds that brought us Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure, came La Pucelle: TACTICS. The game itself is a good mix of storytelling through the characters and tactical adventure. That's what it's supposed to be... howe... Read Full Review
