### 5/5 — Not say bad next one

*2017-05-12, version 1.0*

Awesome game

### 5/5 — Enjoyable

*2017-03-06*

Very enjoyable, I don't play much gaming, but this one was worth it

### 5/5 — ดี

*2017-02-21, version 1.0*

คนชอบ final fantasy tactic ไม่ควรพลาด.

### 5/5 — Great game! Reminds me of FFT or Tactics Ogre.

*2017-01-14*

Well with it.

### 5/5 — Trully great game

*2017-01-10*

This game similar with FF Tactics, those who love FF Tactics will surely fall in love with this game, despise shorts playing hours, still this game worth every penny you've paid

### 5/5 — Very great

*2016-12-28, version 1.0*

Looking forward for the next series

### 5/5 — On-the-go FFT

*2016-12-11*

This game plays wonderfully just like FFT but isn't as punishing and you can easily pick varying difficulties to grind. It won't be as deep or have that incredible story but still does everything else right. You can play quick battles on the go that you can't do in FFT. This is the best "FFT" clone on the app store. More please!

### 5/5 — Gj

*2016-12-09, version 1.0*

Good job

### 5/5 — 헐

*2016-11-24*

휴 드디어 엔딩 봤네요ㅎㅎ 플레이타임 30시간 되네요ㅎㅎ

### 5/5 — Worth the price!

*2016-11-23*

I used to love FFT and this is very similar. But it is different enough that it sets itself apart.

The Good: It's cheaper, there are multiple endings and synthesizing helps with strategizing not found in FFT.

The Bad: It is just as grindy as FFT, has premium currency and there is too much focus on searching for rare items.

I'm happy with my purchase. And I plan to buy the next game   Rideon makes. Adventure Bar and this game are both in my top 10 list.

### 5/5 — Final tactic style!

*2016-11-20, version 1.0*

Good SRPG. High quality compare to the price. Hope to see your next game soon.

Key point
1. 10 playable characters, 7 classes (35skills)/character 
2. 35 main chapters with 2 endings 
3. Hidden items & equipments in every main chapters 
4. Save clear data to get more content

### 1/5 — controller support please!

*2022-03-02*

it is great, but no controller support is a bit of a let down

### 1/5 — Tutorial = No Tutorial

*2021-01-16, version 1.2*

อธิบายวิธีเล่นไม่ครบ เล่นแล้วเสียความรู้สึก

### 2/5 — Dull and punishing

*2023-06-12*

I’m sure it’s possible to have fun in the game, but it’s just kinda boring to me. There’s a lot of fun tactical rpgs to play that feel better than this, so I’d skip it imo. Also keep in mind that there’s no autosave and dying reverts you to your previous save, not just to the beginning of the fight. Graphics are a 6/10 (being generous,  really simple sprites), characters are mid, and it feels like a lot of tedious mechanics to make it more “engaging” but it just makes fights a chore. The level system works only through attacking from what I can tell, so support characters don’t level up at all unless you make them attack directly, and they’re supports so it just ruins strategy. And just navigating the battlefield is such a headache.

### 3/5 — Just sucks that it's not horizontal

*2017-01-21*

It's a decent game and I love tactical RPGs it just bothers me that the controls aren't like a controller where the movement is on the left and buttons are on the right (horizontal) but having movement in the middle, buttons to bottom right (vertical) can you please change the controls?

### 4/5 — Would be 5 stars

*2021-11-15*

If they had all 3 on here. Who wants to only play part 2? Just go get the Switch bundle has all 3.

### 4/5 — Highly addictive

*2017-05-11, version 1.0*

Nice game overall other than you cant continue playing once you clear the game, meaning you have to start all over again or if you have a spare saved data that wasnt at the last stage. Wish to have more stages and have free battle after you cleared the game. So far not much complain for rideon games hope more to come!

### 4/5 — Similar to final fantasy tactics

*2017-05-08*

Very similar in terms of graphic, unit movement and items but has a good storyline and individual characters.

### 4/5 — Solid title!!! FFT...sort of.

*2017-05-04*

What a terrific title. It has everything that Final Fantasy Tactics as as far as strategy elements. You contend with a grid like map and factors like which way you're facing and height matter. 
The real difference is that you have job trees instead of job classes. This means you're Knight character can branch into other Knight and Warrior classes, but can't be a Mage. 
Storyline is okay, nothing special. 
Controls are bit clunky and you can't rotate the screen. There are treasure chests on the field as well as hidden treasures. This sounds great until you realize that you'll be spending half the fight treasure hunting since the rewards are that good. 
Overall, it is a really fun game. For anyone who is a fan of strategy RPGs, you can't miss this title.

### 4/5 — 재미있네요

*2017-02-25*

나름 스토리도 있고 전투도 할만합니다. 난이도는 낮은 편입니다

### 4/5 — Very nice

*2016-11-03*

I never played the 3ds version but as a huge fan of FFT, this is definitely reminiscent of that game. I like that I can play portrait mode with one hand and not in landscape. It's definitely been far so far.

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2025-04-26*

If you like FF tactics, this one is better and easier to play. Probably the best of this gendre on ios platform.

### 5/5 — Not bad

*2023-05-06*

I’m a huge fan of this series and I was skeptical about an IOS version. There’s a small learning curve (movement) but other than that, it’s a solid game. I hope they bring the rest of them to IOS so I can p,at on my IPad Pro. Love it, give me more. P.S. I NEVER write reviews, this one deserved it.

### 5/5 — Worth it

*2022-10-02*

Great Game, reminds me of playing The Tactic Ogre series! Definitely worth the buy! Replay of the game is worth the money!

### 5/5 — Uma ótima opção de SRPG / A great SRPG option.

*2020-09-08*

Jogo muito bom, de desenvolvedores japoneses, nos moldes dos SRPGs da era 16 e 32 bits. A história é simples, mas as batalhas são divertidas e tem várias coisas que podem ser liberadas. Quem jogava um Final Fantasy Tactics, Vandal Hearts e Tactics Ogre logo vai se acostumar. Também é uma ótima opção pra quem está começando nesse estilo ou só quer uma versão mais leve. Vale muito a pena pelo custo-benefício.

################################################

A great game, by Japanese developers, like the ones on the 16 and 32 bits era. The story is simple, but the battles are fun and there is a plenty of things to unlock. If you used to play Final Fantasy Tactics, Vandal Hearts and Tactics Ogre, you will feel comfortable with it. Also, it’s a great choice for those whom are starting in this style of game or just want a lighter version. A great game for its value.

### 5/5 — Scratches the itch

*2019-11-30*

Great tactical turn based game. Cool character role progression system (which I like much more than the older fire emblem games). 

Only critique would be 
1.) wish there was auto save between missions. Forgot to save once which lost me like an hour of progress when the next match went poorly...(since you can only reload from a manual save).
2.) some abilities are not super clear as to what they do or why it’s worth investing points into. The in-game guide does help but not for everything.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2019-05-13*

When are you guys going to come out with mercenaries saga 3?

### 5/5 — Feel of FFT

*2019-03-17*

If you like final fantasy tactics then you’ll love this. Also check out their other title adventure bar story. It’s great too!

### 5/5 — Great game and worth the money

*2018-03-10*

The game is great and would give you nostalgic feeling of Tactic Orge. Do not expect the game to be perfect. There are a few incomplete features and could be improved, but overall it is worth what you would pay for.

### 5/5 — Super Tactics RPG title!

*2017-09-01*

In the same vein as Tactics Ogre and FFT. Just bought this thing and it is fantastic. Fans of Tactics Ogre and FFT will feel right at home. The story is intriguing, the battles are well balanced with just enough difficulty and the touch controls are easy to manage. The price is a steal and worth the purchase! I seriously can't put this thing down, I hope they continue their great work!

### 5/5 — It's a very good game

*2017-05-19, version 1.0*

The plot is good, sometime feeling annoying with control but it's ok.
