Those Who Rule

好玩，前面挺难的 后面刺客无双，可惜主角弱了点，出了SS单手矛才好点

平心而論是好的戰旗遊戲。 人物塑造與劇情都算中上，美中不足的是沒有玩最高難度體驗不到完整劇情，但最高難度前期運氣成分較重加上沒有戰局中存檔，設計較為老派(被15%命中率活活砍死導致得整局重來的XCOM醍醐味)；另外前期人物養成體驗偏低，需要度過前期後才會稍微開心一點。 整體而言推薦給喜歡hardcore戰旗玩法、對角色養成較有耐心的戰旗玩家。

Truly exceptional strategy rpg, excellent sense of spatial technique in battles, great narrative tone and one of the better soundtracks I’ve heard from an independent studio, could not recommend more highly for those invested in the genre.

one of the best pc games in this genre

7/10 Fairly solid and easy to get to grips with hex based skirmish type game, with some good unit and equipment variety. The plot is pretty forgettable, as are the characters and their dialogue, with an entirely linear campaign. It feels a little unsatisfying for some reason and not sure I believe their AI statement in the slightest! Not worth it at full price, but fun enough at half off.

If you are looking for a potential Fire Emblem franchise for PC, but much better, watch this lone (literally) indie developer. This game is a solid 9-9.5/10 for about 35-44 hours of playtime with challenging combat and a good storyline, unique items, good unit classes in an medieval universe with basically no magic. I have some reget buying this game at a 50% discount, because its worth its price of 17 EUR and there are no dlc or soundtrack packages to buy. I will buy the next game at full price if its good. Pro's * Hexagon grid system, with 3 normal combat sides, two compromised sides and one for backstabbing. Shield system is basically, extra hp, which recovers 50 or 75% every turn. You have have one-handed weapons and two-handed weapons, with the latter having an extra skill to compensate for the shield. * No cutscenes. Low polygon units hack weapons and throw projectiles at each other and use their skills. Quite nice and fast. * Unit system with 6 base classes and two promotions at lvl 10 and 20 with three options at every promotion. Thus your top units can still have different set of passive and active skills, despite being the same class at the end. Every character you have has its own unique skill. * Simple stat system, with a few items to augment stat development. No item consumables to boost stats * Item system consists of non-depletable standard weapons and unique weapons, which are upgradable with improvements and refinements adding more unique twists. * Then there is a wide selection of unique and standard items with passive or active effects. The amount of stuff an unit takes into battle is determined by endurance. * Currency (denarii) is scarce throughou the whole game, due to upgrading items. * Solid storyline with only a few plotholes, with a a decent amount of twists and turns and no clear end goal, until the chapter 18-19. * Nice character portraits and music. * Works flawlessly on Linux Zorin (tested) and Steam Deck verified. Cons * This game suffers from unused units not getting xp's and with all enemies improving, it becomes quite hard to train a lvl 10-15 unit against lvl 25+ units. There are no lower levels units either, all units are the same level, each battle. This does however make the game challenging. * Not side objectives after chapter 15. This makes each battle more fun. * Not that much character dialogue, but decent/good quality. * No savesystem for battles which can last 45-90 minutes. You can save, by quitting, but not return to a specific turn or at a specific moment. A mistake halfway through can be time-costly. No savescumming either. * No new game+ mode. Alternative games * Symphony of War. Tactical rpg, with a square grid layout, set in a medieval world with magic and gunpowder. You control squads up to nine units with a selection of 60 classes to attack other squads. This is quite different from Those Who Rule, but at least a 7.5-8.5/10 to play and has New Game+ modes. Storyline is weak compared to this game. * The Expeditions series. All have hexagon grid layout with six player controlled units against opponents with a focus on exploring land in the real world with limited magic. Expeditions Viking is the best. followed by either Conquistador (barebones, first game) or Rome (storyline falls apart), depending on your preference for a game. Games are at least 7-9/10 for this serie. * Tyranny. Different genre. This is a RPG with time-based battles in a bronze/iron age, magic infested setting in which you fight with a squad of four for the force of evil with a lot of decisions determining the outcome. This game is a good 8/8.5 in terms of gameplay.
