I’m thankful for tou explanation but I think it doesn’t cover Buffs ): I haven’t found one that helps me in this matter at least. Like I want to put two buffs on my Front Row but the first goes right and the other goes to another unit 💔 Is there a limit to buffs? I think the game should have implemented a condition to NOT do stuff like Not use Physickal Atk Up on a Mage unit (which is happening to me)

Its a fun game (so far 30 hours in on Expert level) but still a tad easy. I'm hoping after I finish it the true zenorian difficulty will bring a much needed challenge to this.

Started true zenorian 2 days ago, Allrdy rushed trough drakenholm and elheim. Its honestly very very easy once you have experience from expert. Especially if you just run the usual stuff early like Hilda Dragoon-Cathat instant freeze comp. But even without the boardclear stuff, my other "normal" units perform rly good too and oneshot basically everything. Its sadly... a really really easy game. Im usually a coward. Usually i play anything on normal. However.... This game has the same issue as persona 5. Even on the hardest difficulty its a joke (i still LOVE both games tho, im just saying its rly rly rly easy... even on hardest difficulty)

I just noticed. Pay attention if your unit is walking or running. My first desert biome really forced me to pay attention to the roads. Use the griffing rider buff because I was mostly infantry with just two flying units. in terms of leveling. i noticed the final fight in every battle gets you lots of xp and money ... so you might want to have a liquid fortune at hand

When in doubt - Rosalinde, Knight and a solder. No idea why she's so strong against pretty much everything.

dev will get it

Just got the game recently and loving it so far, thanks for the vid!

The third unit would just get countered pretty hard by one row barrier form a sainted knight or heaven forbid a reflect magic from a feather shield

The Dragoon dive I found seems better than yours no offense. I found it on KZfaq but forget who made it, it uses Gilbert as an initiative and attack buffer, a which for ice conferral and her own ice attacks only to be used on those that aren’t frozen, and a cleric that uses quick impetus. The Wuven also used the wyvern reins for more damage and true strike as well as she has a carnelian pendant for 3 AP, the quick impetus makes that 4 and she can dragoon dive twice and on the second one since they should all be frozen is a free one to get off and on use Gilbert uses the gamblers coin on the Wyvern to boost the damage even more and since it’s a true strike the accuracy drop doesn’t matter

Can you breakdown the other teams shown in this video.

This game is soooo full of esg bs. 🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮

Hey 89. Update from me with 2 days left in the nintendo sale: 1. stopped playing MUA3. i've transitioned to fell seal: arbiters mark since the system is engaging mark and i've been able to get past the meh art style/animations. 2. bought valkyria chronicles 4 and i plan to play that as my next game. $9.99 for the game + all DLCs. I enjoyed valkyria chronicles 1 and i highly recommend checking it out if you're looking to add games to your docket after 13 sentinels. Thought its a good deal for $9.99. 4. Scouted other trpgs. Have you played any of the mercenaries games (latest is mercenaries lament) or record of agarest war? They seem interesting, especially the latter. Though someone told me to stay way from the latter if i dont like grindy games as its very grindy. Also a very old game. Its a PS3 port. 5. Is 13 sentinels next on your coverage docket?

I don't agree with everything you said but I think you did a great job on the video. I love the Front Mission series and I've been playing them since I first ran into a fan translation of the SNES rom into english when i was 11 or 12 years old (2001-2002) Thanks for covering this!

I was expecting a difficulty that was unfair walking into it myself. What I experienced was a difficulty where I couldn't tell the difference between expert and true zenorian. I seriously had to check I actually selected the difficulty. It's not hard at all and kinda disappointing. I didn't level grind either. Just played it normally. Really just about knowing how to build a team more than anything else.

Great review. I will buy it after watching your review. Kudos to you

Nice review boss, prob not for me though.

It's been a while since I had time to really sink my teeth into a new WRPG, but this one definitely appeals; it has that old "MS DOS" look and feel in spades. :)

Not my speed but i'm always pro for indie/undermarketed games to be showcased. I dunno if you saw my other comment but i named a few upcoming trpgs to watch out for: Metal slug tactics, crown wars, reverse collapse: codename bakery and kriegsfront tactics. I think after your CARDS RPG stream, it would be nice to see fell seal revisited. Unless of course you pick up 13 sentinels already.

Endgame mostly comes down to mages for damage

Man the game was quick! Just finished it. Glad i bought MUA 3 too as now i'm on to the next game. 5 insights towards the end: 1. Game is pretty good at propelling you forward and not ruining momentum. Ending was fine with 1 twist. 2. This is probably the quickest game i've ever played due to a lack of postgame content (you can just replay everything on higher difficulty, no new fights/unlockables). I think i finished it in 15 hours across 3 days (fri, sat, sun). I wish the game was longer. 3. the game gives you that 8th squad slot in the final battle. Too late imo. I was able to unlock 23/38 strategist nodes by the end. I never unlocked erik. Lol. 4. never figured out the speed stat. Lol. Lots of interesting builds though once you have multiple copies of certain gear. 5. Deck i took into the final battle: 7 armor of steel 5 power of lightning +2 12 trick attack +2 23 trick attack +1 (0 cost) 3 random (picked attack cards like SOA) so yes half of my 47 card deck was 0 cost. and everything else was 1 cost. 35 cards in my deck allowed me to draw a card, 12 allowed me to draw 2. This setup technically allowed me to have access to my full deck in turn 1 of almost every fight as almost every time i was using a card it was getting replaced. yea this allowed me to 1st turn kill most enemies and even most bosses. At most bosses would survive 2 turns (outside of the final boss). Anyway it was a great game. shouldve been cheaper and longer and thats why it gets knocked down a couple of pegs in my book. Definitely in my top 10 TRPGS on the switch of all time.

Oks. I couldnt put the game down. LOL. mission 13 now and i finally hit 7 deployables. Havent unlocked erik (the cavalry). heres some stuff that have changed in my playthrough: 1. Didnt notice before there were cost +1s on green nodes on the strategist board. Beelined for it instead. That was a big power spike. It allowed me to remove source of power and supplies in my deck. 2. due to the way my deck is constructed now, i'm doing alot of 1-turn kills. Sometimes i'd spam like 10+ TA in a row and just nuking enemies on round 1. The high def from gear (shields, blessed talisman) help me survive 1st strikes. Supplemented by warrior armor for those wth low hp. POL keeps enemies paralyzed most of the time so i only ever take dmg when enemies go 1st. 3. since you discard 3 after every battle, pretty much we're customizing a 47 card deck at most. This game has so many combinations! i havent even gotten to any +2 cards yet. So far my deck looks like this: 5 AOS 4 SOA: strong +1 8 TS +1 7 POL +1 23 TA +1 so yeah almost half my deck is TA. 31 of my cards are 0 cost. I pretty much burn through most of my hand. I'm still polishing the balance but i really enjoy where my deck is at now. i eventually want to get 2 more TA +1 just to ensure i dont hit a lull when cycling through the deck.

That's not how you pronounce Gloucester

Update on my game hunt: i found an online seller today of marvel ultimate alliance 3 2nd hand copy and bought it for the cheap price of $12. Same guy sold me a brand new copy of CARDS RPG for $33. still too pricey for my tastes for how the game is but i though a $7 discount is fine so i could catch up to your streams! haha. so $45 though for a couple of games is all of my gaming budget for the next couple of months. lol. thankfully nothing looks interesting so far this june and july. by august, i'll revisit fell seal if there's nothing interesting out or coming up. out of curiosity, i'm wondering how much you guys spend on gaming monthy or yearly (excluding big purchases like consoles or pc upgrades... just games or accessories/dlc)? i set a budget of $25 per month. my purchases so far this year have been unicorn overlord, front mission 2nd remake, 13 sentinels, 2nd hand copy of MUA 3 and CARDS RPG.

Good video. Thank you can’t wait to start playing this game. Should be here any day.

Game is pretty easy even on expert mode... that is until you find that one stage where game wants you to use a very specific strat that you can't find it yourself

I dont think the "card is removed until combat ends" is a detriment to 50 card decks. Its only a detriment to decks with 15 cards or less. Used cards dont go back into the deck until you've run through your whole deck. So either way you're seeing that card once. Its just a balance for those who like having very small decks. the accuracy and field of vision items are the worst items in the game imo. cost upgrades on level ups are temporary. Certain classes get it at a higher chance in my observation over others like the scout.

I think muscles of steel is better than the strong defensive shields. fighting spirit + source of power + strength of arms strong is a good combo. for the cost though imo i'd still go with 1 AOS + 1 source of power + 3 TA. I Like that new supplies you have that enhances SOP to cost 2. Its a good alternative to having many SOP in the deck. You shouldnt skip throwing stones when it comes up and you still have ranged boost or poison arrow in the deck. Throwing stones is the best ranged card i've seen so far. I like that def/off card. great alternative to muscles of steel/defensive shields. I agree this game may not be worth $40 to some people but for sure its worth $30 and its definitely better value than alot of the AAA games out there because this game is actually great at something/unique. I'd skip all DLC though.

I tried it and it was meh

Hey 89. Looked up sea of stars and played the demo but the story didnt hook me. The combat didnt scratch my itch for customization either. I got more engaged in star ocean second story's demo more both in story and combat. Did you play that? I know you dont do it for your channel but i think it would be cool to come out with list vids once in awhile. Like your top 10 fave trpgs with you talking about the game for 3-5m each. Or like top 5 upcoming trpgs to watch out for. I think i'm almost decided on my next game already and its going to me marvel ultimate alliance 3. I'm still picking up CARDS RPG but waiting for a sale. Fell seal will be moved to after MUA 3 unless something new catches my fancy. Another jrpg recommended to me was octopath traveler 2. Have you played that?

Wait - the equipment swap directly before battle thing: was this patched? I wanna say I tried this once and it said equipment can't be changed before battle. It coulda been a slight different situation I was in tho, idr. I know there been a patch or two since this video, right?

Spot on review. The game is very much lacking some finesse. It definitely has potential, though. If the devs have the time and resources to put into it, there are little things that could go a long way to improve the experience.

I wishlisted it since its launch on the switch. I think this is just my kind of hand. I may give it a go one day, currently playing Disgaea 5.

Fair review and seals my decision on the game as i trust your take. I was already apprehensive with what i saw before your vid as i told you before. Now its just affirmed. The switch needs a proper marvel or dc game. Have you played marvel ultimate alliance 3?

This needed to be a game with some type of character creation options…

Other intel i got: 1. can deploy 7 units eventually. 2. you'll eventually complete the status board. 3. theres gear rarity. 4. enhanced cards can be dropped. 5. cost increases seem to be temporary during level ups. 6. the game just has 20 chapters/battles but can be replayed again in the postgame. Kinda disappointed here. hows your experience with this vs. capes? how do you think cards rpg stacks up vs. redemption reapers? for sure i think unicorn overlord, tactics ogre reborn and triangle strategy rank better than it..gloomhaven i'm not sure. I like the deck/character variety better in gloomhaven but i'd say the gameplay, music and graphics are better in CARDS.

Just found out we can eventually deploy 6 units. I hope theres more surprises here in terms of squad/build crafting. Theres also a bunch of new, cool cards i didnt see in the demo. As for other trpgs to check out this may, you may want to check out crown wars: the black prince. Trpg that has castle building mechanics.

Great video subbed

Hey 89. Watched another reviewer showcase cards and he has other characters at the start like Greg Ironheart. Was there like bonus characters on certain platform purchases? Or do we have day 1 DLC? i didnt see the new characters in the strategist tree in the demo either. And hes playing greg ironheart (barb type with greataxe) in like the 1st mission. Theres also a selena artemisia (archer), vasbiard (a freakin chimera!), bartgreisse and i think theres 1 more.

seems like solid tips, I'm just starting the game today. I'll keep these in mind.

This reminds me of CARDS rpg. Thanks for reviewing this. Too bad they dont have a demo. Given that, from 1st impressions alone, i'd say CARDS rpg is more interesting for me and is what i'll get next (just finished 13 sentinels and OMG it was so awesome/fulfilling. That final battle was sooo hard!!!). and yes, you should absolutely play and cover 13 sentinels. you are missing out.

I randomly stumbled across this channel but I decided to try this demo and holy crap its so much fun. Thank you for recommending this and keep doing what you're doing!

Awesome review! I hope to see more from you <3

I'm enjoying Unicorn so much, glad i've found this guide, it explain really good how to use tactics, thanks.

So I’m at the end game in Albion. All but 2 of my squads are able to have 5 units. My problem is that my last 2 or 3 squads I’m really having trouble marking them good. I say I’m that they can only take on me Infantry, or flyers etc.

I'm sure you already know my thoughts on UO. lets leave it at its 1 of the GOATs of TRPGs. Minimum top 3. I'm here though to talk about another vanillaware masterpiece: 13 sentinels. Been hooked on this game recently and i want to talk about its "maligned" gameplay. Top 5 insights: 1. I'm playing on intense (hardest difficulty for NG) and yes its too easy. But thats me. I know what i'm doing. Others who go in blind (i did know the game likes to send hordes over tough enemies so AOE is king) may have difficulty. The difficulty reminds me of diofield chronicle. Its not so much that you'll lose. Its just about how long the battle takes. Havent been challenged yet 1/3 the way into the game. 2. and #1 is a disappointment because man the systems are meaty. Theres so many ways to customize: sentinel upgrades, gear unlock/upgrades, pilot skills, have 13 party members available early, 4 sentinel types (essentially classes) and customizing your tower (aegis) which can give a variety of party buffs like increased resource drops (meta-chips), party buffs, party heals, massive aoe burst dmg, etc. 3. Interesting mechanic that forces you to use other sentinels. Every time you use a party member as part of the attack team, the pilot's fatigue (BOL) increases. When it hits max, you cant use them for 1 battle. The fatigue meter increases quick. Like after 2-3 battles its maxed. 5. And the game gives you options. You want to just use a specific party? Sure. You can remove fatigue by spending resources and killing your streak.meter. if you have an ongoing streak meter then your rewards are increased post fight. So theres a very in-depth system. Too bad the game doesnt really make you have to think/research because the difficulty isnt too tough early on. Could change later. So yeah if you want to play an all melee team even if its ineffective because its fun for you, you can. Want to play all support? sure. You still have enough to clear the battles as long as you arent afrer S-rank finishes like i am. Anyway just thought i'd share. Perhaps it'll entice you to check it out. Haha. So yeah great customization, challenge is meh early (i recommend playing it on intense) and as mentioned previously, the story is EXCELLENT. like better than triangle strategy, FFT, etc. another masterpiece.
