4.0 out of 5 stars
From an old-school strategy gamer, Dec 13 2009
By Rick Stokell "Unperson" - Published on Amazon.com
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Hero's Saga: Laevatein Tactics (Video Game)
Hero's saga is a fairly straightforward game for it's genre. Obviously, it is atleast 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!

Great but get's stale quick . . ., Feb 26 2010

This review is from: Hero's Saga: Laevatein Tactics (Video Game)
This is a decent strategy game with some unique combat elements. You fight as a squad with a hero unit and each "attack" is a three round volley. Opens some interesting otions. The game just feels too lineir for me and even though there's a lot of recruitable hero's non of them really grow or are customizable. They gain levels and some corresponding stats but that's about it. Non enough variety in special skills/attacks/spells.Overall it's worth a play through though.

Pretty good SRPG, Jan 9 2010
By Vi D. Tran "SniperREX" - Published on Amazon.com
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Hero's Saga: Laevatein Tactics (Video Game)
This game is a pretty good Strategic/Tactic RPG, even though it's not in the same league of Final Fantasy Tactics for PS1, by the way the GBA version is not the same game and it's a lot worse.I already beaten the main quest with about 30% of the arms collected, now I'm going for the 100% during what could be considered the EX mode.
I had to grind around a dozen time to level-up, anyway the game is not that hard once you grasp the mechanics. Too bad the AI is often not aggressive enough. They could gang up on you and instead they approach you one or two baddies at a time.
The game become a little repetitive around 20 hours. In fact, I'm not sure if I'll ever get to 100%.
Anyway it's a buy if you like the genre.
Listmania!
