Don't forget to check all mountains/hills. They play the camera angle of the map and hide paths in places you can't see. If you see an item on the map you can't reach, that's probably it. Also the devs apparently said you can recruit all characters in one playthrough, so don't worry too much about it if you want to see them all

Gameplay-wise, I haven’t been this captivated by a strategy RPG since I first played Fire Emblem (the Blazing Blade) on the Gameboy Advance. Aesthetically, this is peak medieval fantasy, really feels like you’re taking part in an Arthurian Legend. The plot is kinda simple, sure, but it’s that 1980s good vs evil kind of simple that I adore.

I like this game a lot. I also like the overall feel of the tactics and battlefield. It not being turn based actually makes the world feel alive and that there are multiple troop movements all happening at the same time. Fire emblem has that problem where it feel a bit rigid and it doesn't give you that sense of a battlefield with many things happening at once.

I thought all the “masterpiece” comments were being hyperbolic like I usually find them to be. I’d already had standard edition preordered so I just played it for myself to see. Well now I’ve also ordered a collectors edition and convinced my husband to play the extra copy himself. It’s ridiculously good. I’ve gotten all of vanillawares previous games and thought they were ok. This is the first I immediately love.

Yeah, I feel the same about Vanillaware. They make really beautiful games, but this is the first one that has just blown me away. I initially turned my nose up at it because of the auto-battler system. Then I decided to just give it an actual chance, and 5-6 hours later, I had stayed up way too late, and then ordered the Monarch Edition. I'm 15 hours into the game and loving it.

Vanillaware keeps on giving bangers after bangers. Every game is instant buy for me. But Aegis Rim holds special place in my heart. Probably because of SF setting.

For me as well. It’s in my top ten games of all time and it was a title that I had no knowledge of before I got the game. I spent literally 10 hours straight on the day I bought it I won’t forget that experience ever. I could go on and on about that game it really made me appreciate the sci-fi genre as a whole and it was such a love letter to it. As for this game, I haven’t gotten it but my friends says the gameplay loop is addicting so I’m guessing it’s a classic rpg game.

@SoulbreakerNB
@SoulbreakerNB 8 ай бұрын
it's all about unit and squad preparation. before fighting, make sure your tactics are set up properly or else you lose the fight. squad complexity goes up the higher lvl'd the enemy units are from you. at first, you can only have a 2-3 man squad. When you fight with endgame units, they are always a 5-man squad that synergizes with each other most of the time. This is one of the reasons why at the early stage of the game (demo) are so shallow because you can only see the basics of combat in-game. by the mid-endgame, you need to utilize efficient tactics setup and unit synergies to survive/win in a fight. Take note that Vanillaware aren't known for having difficult games. You just need to know how to take advantage of systems that was provided to you, just like any other turn-based tactical RPGs (even though they say that this game is "realtime", it is still turn based since you can pause the fight whenever you want to move a unit).

Game looks great, I enjoyed the demo and have my physical switch copy ready to go but I might hold off as I have heard from a lot of people online that even on expert if you are doing a lot of side content you quickly outpace the majority of challenge and that is very disappointing if true. I did find the demo too easy on expert but assumed that was because of early areas only. Hardest difficulty should be a damn challenge. I don't want to put self imposed restrictions on myself while playing to MAKE it tough. That's what the difficulty settings are there for. I shall find out for myself soon enough however. Currently hooked on sea of thieves so might wait a bit and see if they update it with something. :D Hope all enjoy it however! Great to have more tactics games on the market.

Most battles rarely causes to near the timers limit it’s similar to VW’s previous game, “13 sentinels aegis rim.” it goes without saying if you are too pessimistic, you’ll risk the timer running out. normal difficulty you’ll never have to worry about that and even tactical difficulty isn’t that much of a problem either.

I tried the demo, and I'm not completely sold on the auto battling. It seems like a system that will make the in-battle tactics either shallow if you don't have to change the programming for specific fights or, if the tactics are more intricate and you do have to change it regularly, it's needlessly more cumbersome and complicated than picking action demands during battle. My first instinct is that the game would have been easier to make engaging if there was a manual battle option, while leaving the current system as an auto option and keeping the action and passive points. Can someone who played the game enlighten me? Am I overlooking something that makes the current battle system better than it looks at first?

You can save tactics template if you really want to. Just make sure that when assigning conditions to your unit's attacks/passives, they can deal with enemies in a way that you don't have to change it every time. You can always switch out different units for a different situation anyways. You can even use equipment that has skills of their own that can help or hinder your squad the way you want them to. This game is very easy once you apply this one word in every setup: Efficiency.

I don't really think the story is an issue. The fact that it's a collection of interwoven local tales as opposed to a giant central tale isn't a bad thing; it really matches the gameplay perfectly. It's a story about a prince liberating the world, and he does it one skirmish at a time, in whatever order makes sense. If they had tried to cram an epic fantasy narrative into the game, it would feel at odds with the core gameplay loop.

It took awhile, but the demo has started to click with me. It's a bit annoying in the sense that I've a lot of work on atm so can't really get rn (and even if I could, the price is a bit expensive; Atlus really takes Switch tax to another level), but I really do want to play it in the future! Edit: for some reason KZbin keeps deleting my replies, so hopefully this edit works: on the Switch eShop (and physical as well) I've noticed that Atlus games tend to be a few pounds more expensive than most big budget Switch games, which is weird to me when looking at the price of their games on other systems like the PS5

It is the same price as other switch games. What are you talking about? Edit: Cannot confirm anything about the pound being of a higher price (USD is my currency). Very odd. Wonder if if it has more to do with a UK gov policy?

Big think for hardcore srpg enthusiasts, this game is REALLY easy. Once you figure out the game's systems it crumbles so fast under it so don't go in expecting a nail biting experience for anyone that is seasoned in higher diffiulty srpgs.

Does the story and dialogue get better after the demo area? It's so self-serious but also shallow and trope-y. If the story becomes more interesting I might pick it up at some point. Games like this need at least an interesting story or engaging characters to keep me playing.

The thing to take note of. The translation team behind this game are the same people that worked on several Fire emblem localizations. Basically expect the same shallow & trope-y experience as many of the FE localizations

If you want to enjoy the story, I recommend just listening to the japanese dub. localization team went out of their way making the english translation of their dialogues so old-english-y that it sometimes drags the scene, making it awkward.
