Partia 2 : The Pretenders War is a sequel to Partia: The Broken Lineage. The game packs 22 stages that could present challenges to any SRPG fan.
Partia 2 introduces many new features, including the choice of "Common turn" rule where all factions make moves alternatively (like Chess) instead of taking turns to move all his/her units. I believe this will bring a new nuance to gameplay if a player choose to do so. It can be toggled in intermission, and you can always play the game in the traditional FE way. (Common turn idea is from Berwick Saga) AI had improved a lot, and horse units now can move after attacking, if they have remaining move distances.
Regrettably, the game could not deliver large animation battle, nor it is a full screen game except in iPads that have 4:3 screen ratio. If you felt the game looked bad in Partia 1, then you'll find this game look much the same, except we have much bigger and nicer character portraits. It is because original Partia was never profitable, making Partia 2 production running on fume. (It sold around 6000 copies in two years) The stress of not getting paid almost broke our team of two, but somehow sheer will allowed this game to be out here for you. So whether this game series is success or not, I am immensely proud of the results. How many five year projects can a person do in a life time? ;-) Many times I was tempted to include some IAP stuff into the game and get cheap dollar or two, but I decided against it. More than anything, I rather have this game to be remembered as good, than have that IAP distaste.
So you may refrain from purchasing this game if you didn't like Partia 1. But I promise you it will be a much better experience (and much more challenging) if you did enjoy the original Partia.
Thank you all, and please let us know what you think!

Love this game

I got this game a while ago, I stopped playing because I didn’t understand some of the functions of the game. Now that I better understand them I love playing the game! It’s a great mobile game that I can’t seem to put down. There are a few bugs but it’s a great game and I can’t wait to play the other ones!
Very Satisfied

Great game. Finally finished the first game which was a great challenge and a great story. Im pleased so far and excited to buy the third game once i finish this one.

To sum it up, i love the game. However, I would like to see an update fixing the exp system. As of right now I can get my units to level 20 before the 3rd chapter.. >.< $6.99 for Partia 3. I understand that money is needed to create a game but it still is rather expensive
Would be okay if bugs and UI were better.

Much like the previous game, this game has lots of problems even now as I write this regarding how it just crashes for no reason at all during the gameplay. This might have been bearable if the game properly kept your progress after the crashes but that’s just a roll of the dice. The game crashed 3 times and I could still resume the ONE battle I was trying to get through but then after the 4th crash I lost all progress and had to start over from scratch on the battle. The UI is also not that great which adds to the frustration of this game. If these two things were fixed I’d give this game a solid 3.5 for being a relatively okay fire emblem clone but it can’t seem to even fix the basic things that would make most of the other flaws bearable. I’d suggest to wait for an official Fire Emblem game on here or wait until someone makes a better clone because this game is not it.
If your still active then read this

I wanted to give this game a second chance, here's my biggest problem with your 2 game series. It's WAYYYY WAYYYY WAYYYY TOO LUCK BASED! And the RNG is brutal! I'm at the chapter where you fight that dark haired swordsman who fought you in the first level, I think it's chapter 3? He is WAYYY too strong! Like...either save him for later or make him someone you run away from, not to mention most normal units are way too strong for the enemy or way too weak for the player. Now you might say I should arena abuse, but I shouldn't HAVE to grind like that in a game like this! Like, not everyone has the patience for that! Overall, good game ruined by luck based idiocy.
