Video Game Reviews of Hero's Saga: Laevatein Tactics
Customer Review: From an old-school strategy gamer
Summary: 4 Stars
Hero's saga is a fairly straightforward game for it's genre. Obviously, it is at
least somewhat inspired by Tactics Ogre GBA- One of my all-time favorite games.
Like T.O. GBA, it is not stellar, not mediocre but there is a certain charm that
keeps me coming back for more. It is ridiculous for it to have a 2-star rating,
thus this review. Those who complain about it's difficulty are most likely the
ones who charge into battle with no plan. (That's because strategy means you
need a plan. Always avoid the stronger enemies, while piecemeal defeating the
minion units. Let them come to you. The AI is not a genius, it will send units
at you mostly one at a time, if you let it. To be sure, this is not guaranteed
win every time, but most of the time, this tactic seems to work. When dealing
with enemies that have the Hero attacks, you *will* lose some units. However,
if you weaken them with your own expendable units, force them to use up their
hero powers, you can usually wipe them out with your hero and stronger units.
There is a decent story here and yes, this is a difficult game. It is not FFT,
those looking for that easy sort of victory will be frustrated, especially if
you try to play this game like FFT. (Which I also love) For those that remember,
T.O. was a difficult game, with a good story to it. I like the battle screen,
as it is unique to DS SRPG's. Those who say the options are limited- Well, FFT
or even T.O. did not even give you a battle screen. There is a good strategy game
here, if you stick with it. However, you will need to use some (gasp) STRATEGY!
