Buy Rime Berta

Its alot more fun the it seems, if you enjoy FFT you will enjoy this too.

Quick conclusion. Do I recommend this game? Not at full price.

People talk here like it's "Like Final Fantasy Tactics or the Fire Emblem or Disgaea". Well they are not completely wrong, but they are not right from another point of view.

Everything I will say, is according to my playthrough (2 floors cleaned 6,5 hours played on hard difficulty), achievement analysis, and screenshot analysis.

Lets talk in numbers.
4 Floors.
5 levels each.
20 levels (game stages total).

3 "starting" professions.
Warrior upgrade goes like x3 (second) x1 (third) = 7
Archer goes like x2 x3 = 9
Magician goes like x2 x2 = 7
So it's 23 professions to choose from, not bad huh ?
Yep but this are the all the enemy you will encounter in the game (+3 plot dolls who just useless but have high HP).
There are no more enemy types in game.

No gear. Trere are NO items or potions. No inventory. Just skills.

There 6 types of magick. Guide staits that Fire->Lightning->Water->Fire and Dark->Light->Star->Dark. But trere is no elements on the characters (exept buffs), so for the most time it is just like "hit the mage with fisical, hit the warrior with magic to win).

Difficulty ?
Total maximum of your characters are 20.
In batle you can use 5, with no replacement.
There are 10-15-20 enemies, you should fight with 5 of your dudes.
No item difference, no profession difference, no skill difference ever. Plus you often start in terrible position (like group separated). Of course it's difficult, but it is just "zerg rush" you see.

Here my playtime with it if you need more proof.

I know this is a bit early so I may edit it later down the road. Just providing this to keep some of the buyers informed.

Pros
*As an RPG the game is good as it gives you a wide range fo things you can do and you can change classes and fuse them to have better stats and more move sets.
*Has Keybindings


Cons
*The art style is not that good but your not playing the game for the art style.
*Resolution only gose up to 720 and Fullscreen is also binded to the Resolution (It's the one thing that bugs the hell out of me why can't it go to 1080)
*Controlls are bit clunky and the Start Up Menu has keybindings but it's misleading since it's labled as Game pad
*Screen dosen't lock so if you have multiple monitors you can click out. But I will say it's not a big deal since it's a trun based game but it would be nice if they had it so it would lock.

All I can think of for now may add more later.

If you like Final Fantasy Tactics or Disgaea your gonna love this game for sure :D

you can change jobs,learn skills,the exp its based on performace on each turn lets say if u atk some1(enemy) u will get exp but if that turn u did nothing u will get no exp,just like in FFT :P,so far the game looks awesome 10/10

Ok, so I wanted to play more of this before I reviewed it.. but I honestly have done enough to be able to give you the baseline gist of whether you should buy it or not... so hear it is:

Pros:
- Funny and Witty
- Good Tactical RPG battle system
- Nice Character customization
- Decent Storyline (Could have been a little more thought out but it's alright)

Cons:
- Cartoony Graphics (Not really a bad thing but it is definetly no Da Vinci when it comes to the art)
- Lack of Good Tutorial (Honestly it's pretty easy to figure everything out but there are a few things that the game should explain so that they aren't confusing)

Verdict:
This is all in all, from what I have played so far a fairly well thought-out game that looks like it could have lots of hours of fun behind it - perhaps it's not worth $15 but it is definetly worth a buy at some point especially if it is on sale. (I may edit this review after playing it alot more).

Cute enough looking little turn based RPG, but one with no meat at all to it. I was hoping on first look that it would be a lighter, but still interesting, PC replacement for one of my all time favourite games Disgaea, or at least on par with something like Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. However the combat system is as basic as I've ever come across in this genre, with very little strategy involved, and poor AI. Perhaps the latter will develop later in the game, but nothing I've seen leads me to believe this will be the case. The storyline also seems very lacking, which wouldn't be so bad if there was anything to the rest of the game.

Character and party customization is limited to a fusion system which again is very shallow. The art style is decent, nothing special, and the partial controller support is pretty poor, refuses to map the majority of my controls (on an Xbox 360 pad, so not a case of obscure tech), and is just a headache to use, having to switch between controller and keyboard/mouse in the middle of each characters combat action... really, just don't bother with it using a controller.

There is a serious lack of this style of game on the PC, which has always disappointed me, and this game does absolutely nothing for me as a fan of this genre. In the same price range you can get Agarest, which is a far superior offering to scratch that tactical RPG itch. Even those looking for something really basic are going to be far better served by something such as the free flash game Ultimate Tactics.

You should buy this game, is a really good game. If you like Final Fantasy Tactics or the Fire Emblem series you'll feel right at home with this game. A few very specific things about this game are a bit problematic for veterans of the tactics type of games however. (Keep in mind some of these issues are only on HARD, and if you pick the normal difficulty you'll be fine against a few of these issues.)

You don't get you place down any of your units at the start, everything is just kind of preset based on where you have your various girls put into slots, so slot 1 always spawns in the same spot on level 1-1, etc.

Theres no items. This isn't a huge problem however except for very early on in your gameplay, just because you start with only 3/5 character slots filled, level 1-1 is you vs 3. at the end of 1-1 you get a new girl in your party, which gives you 4 girls... level 1-2 is your 4 girls vs 8 (or 9 I don't remember), so unless you get really lucky with RNG or you will need to rerun 1-1 just to get your 5th girl slot filled.

Theres no gear of any sort. The way you get powerful is based on leveling skills, which is also how you evolve your units into different classes. (I like this system but it can be confusing at first)

These issues are only really a problem in the very beginnings of the game, and they become non-issues after about 1-3, but I wanted to touch on them so you know what you're getting into and to tell you to NOT QUIT just because it is hard in the beginning, it gets better.

One small gripe I wanted to talk about with the game is that the controller support is a bit meh. The pre-game launcher could only detect like, half of the buttons on my wired xbox controller, like I couldn't get it to find my D-pad so I have to use my stick which can be a bit annoying. The other EXTREMELY annoying thing is that for some reason after I have input an action into the game, if I don't want to follow through with that action, pressing the cancel button on my controler doesn't actually cancel the input. I have to right click with my mouse in order to get it to cancel, but every other time I can cancel inputs just fine with my B button on the controller, not sure what that's about.

Overall this game gets a 9/10 from me, just because of the simple controller issues, Gameplay itself is an easy 10/10 for this game genre.

Game is pretty simple, graphics are basic, tactical combat is what makes it fun, its somewhat challenging and requires strategy and understanding how enemy AI works. I had fun with it.

Very Quick review from only playing the first 2 levels.

This is a very poor man's final fantasy tactics. It doesnt seem terrible for what it is so far. To enjoy this game I would say SRPGs have to be your favorite genre.


+Different job paths for party members to take.
+Ability to "fuse" 2 characters together to make 1 better one
-No gear (atleast so far, 2 levels in, I dont see any options for it anywhere or anything)
-As basic of a grid SRPG combat system as you could possibly have

All in all, I will give this a "recommend", but barely.

The game is extremely simple and bare-bones but it's still a pretty good SRPG if you've played every other one in existence, extensively.

You got 3 basic starter classes (Mage, Warrior and Archer) that then branch out into 2-3 other classes which in turn can change into 1-3 master classes.

It has a team-member-fusion system where you can ... fuse team members together and gather bonuses depending on level.

Skills are acquired by continual use.

My gamepad glitches out now and then and the controls are a little wonky but overall, I'd reccommend it if you like Tactical RPGs and you're not too worried about lulzy graphics.

Final fantasy tactics fans should like this game. This game has bad graphics, but offers good gameplay and has quite good music.

its ok

Mix of fire emblem and final fantasy tactics battle mechanics with some poorly implemented ideas. The Ap system in this game is in my opinon a dumb mechanic because it hampers what your characters can do within a turn. You want to heal your ally, well you're not able to move this turn because of it. Why do that?! Also there are very little tooltips and no tutorial so without an outside source you'll be lost what some of the stats mean and various other things within the game. Also, the story isn't the best. Fire eblem and final fantasy and known for having at least somewhat interesting stories but this one is bland and you can go multiple levels without even progressing the story through the dialouge. Overall I wouldn't reccommend this game for very many people unless you are a dire hard tile-based turn-based jrpg fan.

Not much of a story or memorable characters. No random maps. No gear or items. Toons can be all over the map when starting.

Too bare-bones and lacking for a SRPG.

อารมณ์เหมือนเกม Final Fantasy Tactic version mini เพราะระบบต่าง ๆ ค่อนข้างตรงไปตรงมา ไม่ซับซ้อนเท่า FFT

1 ในข้อเสียคือ บอทยังงง ๆ ก่งก้ง เดินมั่ว ๆ บ้าง หันหลังให้บ้าง ทั้ง ๆ ที่เล่น Hard

แต่โดยรวมน่าสนใจดี เล่นได้เรื่อย ๆ เหมาะกับราคาของเกมที่ไม่แพงเท่าไหร่นัก

After looking at this game from the steam store i felt like it could be a great turn based game like disgaea or final fantasy tactics. sadly i was mistaken.

Not only do the characters all have the exact same face, but all the skills are copied from what looks like a simple rpg maker style database. the menu is a little clunky but overall after just the first fight in the game i realised that this game is a major disapointment =/

I would recommend this game to people who have never seen a game made by rpg maker. but no one else.

I had a really enjoyable time playing this game. It's not that great, but it's not that bad either.

It has a good variety of skills and classes, which makes up for the lack of items and equips, giving room for many different grouping strategies.

There are some challenging maps, that will require some "grinding/training", making it barely impossible to clear it in one go.

There are some issues (such as a childish plot and simple graphics), but the greatest let down is the AI, which is very simple/weak (even in hard mode).
The enemy's motto is basically: "just marches towards your closest foe and hit it with whatever you got".
And that's bad, especially with mages. Don't be surprised to see enemy mages trying to have physical duels against your strongest warriors. Also, when using area skills, they won't care about friendly fire.

Overall, this is a simple yet playable game. It's nowhere near FF Tactics or Disgaea and the price may seem a little more than it's worth. Buy at your own risk, and maybe you'll like it as much as I did.
