| + | * 2501: A //Tactics Ogre// clone with some interesting, abstract mechanical twists which give it a very high potential skill ceiling. The less talked-about entry in STING’s loose handheld RPG metaseries that also includes//Riviera: The Promised Land//, //Yggdra Union// and //Knights in the Nightmare//. This one must not have done too well, because it was one of the developer’s last real games before signing themselves away to Idea Factory’s Vita porn game dungeon. Sad. | ||

| * Felix: Continuing the trend, this third installment is even better balanced and more padded than the second one. Rushing strategies and tanks are finally no longer overpowered, and leveling up / class changing / upgrading your weapons no longer seems designed to be as tedious as possible. Unfortunately, the English translation patch that was recently (2013) released is incredibly dry (less enjoyable than the second game's school setting save for its particularly gross anime moments), and after having played through most of the first two games I don't really have much remaining interest in plugging through the 80 or so missions in this one. The AI is also needlessly bad, which means that even though half of your units are no longer useless and you actually get to make some interesting decisions about how to build your characters (that aren't just 20-hour FAQ projections), you'll still be challenged far too rarely outside of the obvious difficulty spikes unless you keep forgetting to guard your bases. If not for that and the length, this would finally have risen above its sort of C-plus status, but alas. | * Felix: Continuing the trend, this third installment is even better balanced and more padded than the second one.
