The best game no one played in 08
The game orginally came out in a very crowded November holiday, and was quickly over looked by most gamers who wanted to buy the newest FPS and sports games, or games that end with a number. But months after its release, it built a cult following.
Personally, I bought the game after the holiday season ended, and I have never been happier.
The game starts out with a young man returning to his home, during the start of a war. The empire is trying to take over all of Europa(ficitional Europe) and it all starts with the small country of Gallia.
The main character Welkin, his adopted sister Isara, and the leader of a rag tag group of rebels in Gallia Alicia, all get dragged into the war. Whether they wanted to or not.
The game plays out like both a strategy and a RPG game. You move your characters by spending AP(action points), this allows your character to move across the map, fire their weapon, or heal. As you move the character across the map, they are shot at in real time by the enemy(and vice versa when the enemy is moving).
There are 6 unit types, scouts(far travel, decent fire), shock trooper(great fire, short travel), Snipers(single shot, far travel), engineers(tank repair, short travel, bad fire) and lancers(short travel, anti-tank). Oh yea, and the main character uses a Tank.
The story follows how the group tries to defeat the Imperials and save their country and Europa. This game is highly praised by both reviewers and people who have played it. So what are you waiting for? GO BUY THIS GAME!
