Suikoden Tactics.

So, I bought Suikoden Tactics and I haven't got a chance to play it. Is it worth 15 bucks to a tactics lover or should I quick return it while it's wrapped?

I've heard that it isn't very good. I don't have any first hand experience with it, though.

It was below the radar screen. I haven't heard any good things about it.

From what I saw, it was rather bland.

I liked it... the graphics are pretty dated looking and the story can be kind of iffy in places but I liked the battles. They're tough, but not overpoweringly so if you don't neglect your characters.

15 dollars?

where?

Re: Suikoden Tactics.

I only paid $10 at Circuit City. I haven't opened it yet though, haven't had time to give it a play.

[EDIT: I opened it. I'll give a review when I have a chance to play it.]

Definitely worth $15.

I like the battles, but DAMN, that element affinity game is impossible. I mean, she can cast every single turn, and I can only use the Rage Orb once.

Re: Suikoden Tactics.

The element affinity game isn't too hard... the easiest way to beat it is to change her element to yours, as she tends to cast on empty squares. Make sure you're stocked up on fire/rage force beads before entering the game so you can use one each turn. If I remember right, it's 5 turns so you'll need 5 beads.

I was hoping not to spend money on it but I guess I have to.

BUMP
The whole permadeath thing makes me redo battles I'd usually win, but I am nontheless loving this game.
Suikoden Tactics has taught me that even sick men can ride kangaroos.

Owls are great too!


And yes, I've restarted many battles after watching someone fall. Everytime someone dies I just cross my fingers and hope for the, I-don't-want-to-get-hurt exit from battle.

Re: Suikoden Tactics.

Owls are meh to me. I use them in the opening of a battle with Reivhelt to get him where he needs to go, then have him dismount and First Style people to obvlion.

On a related note, don't you love how you can choose who you use and what you do? I mean, I might replay just to do it totally different. Right now, Trishtan is one of my best characters, and he certainly goes well on a Kangacorn. High health makes him good to rush in, and his low rune ability doesn't matter since the Kangacorn Rune just has Rush and Kangacorn Spirit (which I LOVE).

Re: Suikoden Tactics.

Haha, I've almost never used him. Eugene on an armored kangacorn for me all the way. Him and Simone and Rita.
