i recently got a retro handheld and loaded it with full libraries in case i ever randomly want to play something from the past without any fuss.
put this game in my favorites list to check out! never heard even a single thing about it and would have dismissed it based on title and cover.
It’s an incredible game, but it feels like very few people were aware of it (at least in the US). The closest AAA game to it now would be Unicorn Overlord, if you’ve seen that.
You build squads of units and customize who’s in each party and which tile they stand on, then send them out to a battle map where you can direct them. When they run into enemies, it auto-battles sort of like Fire Emblem.
This is one of my all time favorites and you’re right, very few copies were even sold in the US, my brother is the only other person I know IRL that is even aware of its existence and that’s because we played it together
My biggest regret is selling this game when I was done with it. Every now and then I look to see if can be properly emulated yet.
Can it not be emulated?
Ehh, sorta. Technically it ran, but it was not a great experience. The background and other stuff didn’t render. I’m not really sure why this is a game that’s difficult to emulate.
I’m just really happy to see love for this franchise. It and snes version are some of the best games I’ve ever played.
I still dont know how they managed to pack so much into them for the era they were created in
Thanks everyone
Man I love that game so much. I remember printing out just dozens of pages of guides from GameFAQs trying to do all the secrets you need to get the super special characters and everything.
I had no idea what I was doing as a kid, and figuring out through trial and error which combinations and placements of units would cause them to do cool combo attacks was maddening.
Space Station Silicone Valley.
That was life changing too.
