Upon a level up, your max recruitment for each unique unit increases as well some amount of customization to increase your army. In order to help deepen the gameplay, your character gains experience upon completing each battle. Throughout my playthroughs, I was able to loop particular strategies with exceptional ease, with not much deviation from one battle to the next. This makes battles exceptionally easy, especially when you start getting enough gold to reliably recruit a lot of allies. For example, an ability that can stun an enemy is guaranteed to work, no matter the circumstance. The issue with these is that there is no risk involved while using them. Once used, abilities are under a cooldown before being available once more.

This can range from healing other allies to blinding a ranged opponent so they will miss their next attack. Many units also have a unique ability they can perform during battle. However, you gain far more peasants compared to swordsmen, so peasants get weaker more steadily while swordsmen get weaker more sporadically. For example, peasants individually are weaker than swordsmen individually are. However, each unit has a unique headcount. During your travels on the overworld, you can recruit more allies to strengthen a unit. As such, the larger the unit, the more damage it can inflict. Similar to Advance Wars, each unit is basically a group of units that act as one. You have various units to control who each have their own initiative on the turn count, most with a unique ability they can perform. Each game plays out like any basic strategy game on a grid. Unfortunately, this carries over to the gameplay. In the end, none of these stories are terrible, merely rudimentary to the point that they offer no real engagement. Braveland Pirate deviates from this somewhat, as it focused more on world-building due to being a pirate. That said, the actual plot of each game is exceptionally basic, due to the lack of any real struggle. Nothing ever gets too dire for the protagonists, with plenty of exaggeration to help lighten the mood all the more. With a large amount of foes in the way, it’s going to take wit, strength, and guile to overcome the strongest of enemies.Īs far as tone goes, the story is actually lighthearted.

Throughout their adventures, they gain new allies and powers to help aid them. The first features a brave warrior whose village was raided, the second a mage who seeks to complete her last trial, and the last a pirate who has set out for adventure. However, can all three games in this one package be all that interesting? Let’s find out.Įach game features a different protagonist entirely independent from the last. Developed by Tortuga Team, each game offers new allies, mechanics, and entirely new stories. As such, Braveland Trilogy comes in with three entire games: Braveland, Braveland Wizard, and Braveland Pirate. It can be a mixture of difficulty, mechanics, and storytelling that makes it hard to get that balance. Also the skill you learn can add a certain number to the damage your units will do or the lessen the damage they receive.As far as strategy RPGs are concerned, it can be difficult to make a game of the genre compelling. For example you might gain a defensive buff for your squads or cast a spell to do damage to the enemy units. You the hero, act as a commander and don’t actually fight in the battle but the experience you receive from each battle will help you unlock skills and abilities that can be used during a battle. – High definition awesome illustrated cartoon art. – Intense boss fights at the end of each story chapter. – More than 25 warriors and creatures from Goblins to Golems and Ice Guards. – Story take place in three unique corners of the world. – Turn-based battles in old-school style. After all enemies are slain you get rewarded gold to buy equipment or recruit and replenish lost units and experience that helps level up your hero. There are hexs in the map that restrict movement or chests where you can gain extra treasure so there can be a strategic element to the battles where you might want to stack your higher hit point or stronger units up from and your weaker archers or healers in the back to avoid melee damage. Combat takes place in turns so each unit will have a certain number of Hexagonal space, or hexs, they can move and attack within and you take turns moving to the enemy and attacking them.
