Best tactical RPG I have ever played. – Kingturn RPG Review

It has been a long time since I have been truly challenged by a tactical game, but this one has done it. The main reason for this is the game's AI, which may be the best AI I have played against. Often a TRPG challenges the player by pitting them against much more powerful forces that are poorly operated - this one most often pits you against slightly superior forces that are used to great effect. I salute the designer and programmer of this game and its AI. Mechanically, the changes it makes to the TRPG formula are brilliant - the addition of a barracks lets you use all your forces in a battle without making the battle overly complex, and it means the enemy forces just keep coming, so you end up with charges and counter-charges all over the field. I've managed come-from behind victories in plenty of games, but this is the only game where an AI has pulled one out against me. The AI is masterful, and it took me several battles to start playing on its level. It will target your weak units and healers and take them out first if you don't protect them. It will keep the objective in mind and focus its efforts to capture your barracks and defend its own. I've tried multiple ways to outsmart the AI and find a weakness, and though it does have one, it was quite difficult to discover and the maneuver can be hard to pull off. Lastly, in terms of difficulty, your units gain exp, items and gold even when you lose a battle, so eventually you can beat any scenario if you just keep playing it - so even though the game is challenging, you will never get stuck anywhere. Kudos on a fantastic game. I hope there will be more of them.
