| | I'm playing Rondo of Swords right now. Good game. Similar to Fire Emblem, but harder and with a much more range-focused mechanic. Your melee fighters (using what's called the "pass-through system" can just zip through multiple enemy units, damaging them all- but the enemies can do the same to you, so spacing is key to the battles. The story's functional if dull, but thankfully it doesn't take up too much gaming time like the Fire Emblem stories tend to do. The game lacks a few of the frills found in most SRPGs, particularly certain aesthetic touches (animation sequences when your units move spaces) and stat information (such as details on the likelihood of a particular hit landing). Personally, I prefer it that way- it feels closer to a board game than a video game, and that's always been the appeal of SRPGs to me.
It's worth a look if you like strategy RPGs. The pass-through system alone makes it feel more fresh than much of the SRPG microcosm in the past few years.
Book status: 3 and 1/4 Dresden Files books read so far.
No one has answered the riddle correctly. Here's your second chance:
Row 1: A E F H I K L M N T V W X Y
Row 2: B C D G J O P Q R S U
On which row does the letter Z belong? Why?
