What makes this game so good people? is the story good? fun gameplay? are the mission you have to do in it fun? I really want to buy it but im just not sure what to expect from it that allbigLLL
This could take a while.
Story: Fictional WWII era taking place in "Europa". Main character is Welkin Gunther AKA "Nature Boy" who lives in Bruhl. His town gets invaded and makes an escape using his dad's WWI tank. Shortly after due to your late dad's high ranks in the previous war you granted a squad (Squad 7) in your nation's militia. Your personal objective is to drive the Imperial forces that invade your country (Gallia) out.
Gameplay: You control every character you place on the battlefield. There are five different classes along with Tanks; Snipers, Lancers (Rocket launchers), scouts, shocktroopers (machinegun users), and Mechanics. You get a set amont of CP every turn (like ten or so) and each person's action takes one CP while tanks take two CP. So you can move the same person more than once each turn but everytime they move they get more tired and probably will run out of ammo. It is somewhat turn-based but when you have a character moving, the enemy with stay in place but if you get in their sights they will shoot at you. Being the tank Commander you can give out orders to your squad that range from raising your squad's stats to calling in for mortar support.
Graphics: Very clean and has a unique water color and pencil touch to the artwork that looks amazing. People move great, and have great facial expressions. The CG cutscenes don't happen very often but when they do its nothing short of epic Final Fantasy quality. Most of those scenes feature massive gun fire and explosions so its really incredible to watch.
Sound: The music plays really well but doesn't depart from standard war music. The weapon sound effects are also lacking and sound weak. I wish I could turn up the volume on the sound effects cause unloading a machinegun clip in the back of an imp (imperial) should sound more deadly than just a brrrr. Voice acting is great, not amazing but the screams your teamates cry out when they got blown up from stepping on a mine is very realistic. Also, if your unfortunate enough to lose your teamate forever (this happens when the enemy gets to their wounded body or when 3 turns pass without you getting to their wounded body) their final words before death are very touching and scary.
Replayability: I haven't beaten the game but there are a few things you can do that I know of. You can replay the game on a harder difficulty with all your equipement and experience from the last playthough. Earn medals for completeing certain missions or doing certain task in combat like completeing the operation really quick, defeat an enemy squad leader, defeat over 250 enemys, and so on.
There are many things I didn't touch on like the different weapons you get, the upgrades you can make to your tanks, the different abilities that each character has, team attacks, crawling through brush. Whats cool is that the game offers a lot of variety in the missions you have to complete. Its mostly go capture the enemy base but each map and circumstances can get really complex.
I have to give the game a 9.5/10 the only weak point is really the sound.
