Tactics Maiden Remastered Reviews

Having lots of fun!

perfect Battle of Wesnoth type RPG strategy.

Tactics Maiden is a great mobile game, but it is even better on the PC. The price is right for what you are getting and the amount of time you can sink into this game. I have logged around 75 hours on my phone with it before this version came out. This game is well worth the investment.

10/10 great progression and respec options

An excellent tactics game that builds on the mobile Kingturn RPG series.

I have bought and played every game Mangobile has released on Android and Iphone, and can heartily recommend this title to anyone who enjoys strategy rpgs such as Final Fantasy Tactics. In many ways, it is a much more approachable title. I really appreciate the visual enhancements that have come with the pc release, simplistic and cartoony as they may be. It is also great how they mixed up some gameplay aspects for veterans of the phone versions to keep things fresh!

This is a faithful port of the iOS/Android game, True to its mobile origins, levels are short enough that you can play the game in bite-sized pieces. Nonetheless, it is of high quality, and it is a premium game with no microtransactions or ads.

I've bought this game on a few different platforms at this point. What I can say is that the matches aren't unnecessarily long, death isn't permanent (a nice twist) and it has enough length to keep ya playing for a bit. I currently play on Pop!_OS with no issues and love the game. Great series! Wish the rest of it was on PC. Doesn't fully scratch my FF: Tactics itch but it scratches my tactical itch overall and that's a challenge.

Summary: A true hidden gem that really hits that turn based strategy/rpg sweet spot. Gameplay that just gets better and deeper the further you get. Decievingly simplistic in appearance, but offering a very good challenge and real thought and care in building an army. This is an indie title that holds up the tradition of some giants in the console world such as Fire Emblem, Advance Wars, and Final Fantasy Tactics. Will Appeal To: Anyone who enjoys meaty turn-based strategy along with RPG-like progression (similar to xcom or jagged-alliance-style buildup of veteran units). If you like some challenge in your games, and a real chance to lose if you just charge in without thought - this game is for you. If you enjoy gearing up your characters, picking who gets to wield that fancy new sword or staff or suit of armor, to best compliment your characters sklls, this is for you. If you like to customize your chars stats on level-up, this game is for you. It's even got some storyline to follow, and while it comes off as goofy at times, it's actually entertaining in itself. Why you should give it a try: Honestly, it's shamefully underpublicized in my opinion. If you played the mobile games in the Kingturn series, this is by the same developer. THAT SAID, this is NOT just a simple mobile port. EVERYTHING about the game has been improved - new scenarios, much improved graphics and animations, tons of quality-of-life improvements, more items, etc. Really, this is so much more than a re-tread - I LOVED the mobile Kingturn games, but I'm enjoying this desktop experience even more. It's not expensive, and I've already sunk over 24hrs of playtime into it - plenty of campaign left to play! It is well worth the money - give it a spin, and don't just play a single scenario or two - you'll notice your gameplay options and depth just increases with each new challenge!

[h1]Recommended for tactics lovers!![/h1] I've played all the Mangobile games on Android for years. They're some of those favorites I repeatedly revisit. [list] [*] Kingturn Underworld [*] Kingturn RPG [*] Kingturn RPG Plus [*] Tactics Maiden [/list] Each of these have progressively improved graphics & mechanics. I recommend playing them in this order. These games scratch my (substantial) Final Fantasy Tactics itch, but are even better in many ways. [b]OPTIONS!! Wow, there are so many options![/b] As a programmer, I always give users lots of options, but I sadly rarely see that in a game. Every aspect of Tactics Maiden Remastered can be customized to suit your preferences & skill level. Not only does this allow you to play the game the way you prefer, it lets you add difficulty as you hone your tactical skills. e.g. Changing it so that even friendly units block a unit's path will completely change your tactics for a battle, as would turning on friendly fire. Then of course there's changing the difficulty level itself (there are 5 levels) and several other combos of options. [b]Tactics![/b] The AI provides wonderful tactical challenges at any skill level. Because it's turn-based, you can take all the time you need to strategize. [b]Replayability due to:[/b] [list] [*] Remastered version introduces battle setup randomness [*] Changing a game option can completely change your tactics [*] Changing your main hero class [*] Changing the hero classes you use/hire & how you use (& invest in) their skills & weapons [/list] [b]Great Developer![/b] Mangobile is an indie developer, is great with communicating details about the game, and is very responsive to players. (Check out Discussions on Steam.) You won't find stunning visuals here, although I very much like these Remastered graphics & effects. For me it's all about the tactical challenges. Your units will never die (they just get "time outs" if they lose all hit points) so it's always safe to dive in and try an idea, fail (lose), then try again with a different strategy based on what you learned. If you like turn-based tactical games, you're guaranteed to find the challenge you're seeking here.
