    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
