Partia is a SRPG (Strategy Role-playing) video game inspired by Fire Emblem and Tear Ring Saga series. In a high fantasy setting, the game will take players through an adventure where magic and sword collide and friendship and betrayal intertwine. Thank you guys for your reviews and suggestions. Good ones encourage us and bad ones humble us. I am constantly fixing bugs that are brought up to me and trying to change things that bother people. It takes time since I am just one guy (Imago Software is only two guys) dealing with many issues. Still things will improve in future updates that I'm working on. Meanwhile, obviously this is a paid game and I don't want to disappoint or cheat people out of their money. Here's a gameplay video from TouchArcade's Sanuku (Thank you!): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3O9tw2L5Wg&feature=plcp This may help with your purchase decision! Also our own video that include game tutorials are at http://www.youtube.com/user/Playimago @Matthew Haralson Yes, the minor character development was very weak. More dialogs will be written in part of effort to more complete game experience! @Tony Peniyoung I was going to answer your concern but didn't really get the message! @Grievlocke Wow, having big battle animations will be really cool. Number 1 in my wish list too. Simply there was no budget and it looks like there will be no budget in the future, either- looking at the sales. @Many who wanted more stages I had random map generation for more guild quests, but I couldn't get the quality right yet. Random really never worked with the element of strategy, and became just a brute fighting. Partia 2 was planned for 25 stages that wraps up the story, but at 600 games sold, well, I wonder if I could ever get enough budget. @ErnieBernie876 I know it is not as convenient as having a restart button, but you could suspend the game and load the last save data to restart the stage from the beginning. @frozencracker It would be a bug if you have an attack option without having a valid target, but I can't seem to reproduce it. To cancel the attack while targeting, you could press 'B' button (that's the inside button) or you could choose a target then select No. I will try my best to answer any question!

Crawl Tactics is a game that combines classic turn-based tactics with rogue-like progression. In Dungeon Mode, explore procedurally generated maps that change every run and face challenging battles. In Quest Mode, develop your town, train mercenaries, and defend against increasingly powerful enemy invasions. # Game Features # * A True Tactical RPG Rather Than a Puzzle: - Crawl Tactics is not a puzzle-like tactics game focused on trick solutions, but a classic, orthodox turn-based strategy RPG designed for fans of traditional SRPGs. - It offers deep strategic gameplay that considers elevation, unit direction, weather, and terrain. * Growth, Customization, and Building Your Ideal Party - Freely customize a wide range of skills, equipment, classes, abilities, and appearances. - Characters can be developed endlessly through New Game Plus after clearing the base dungeon, and through the Reverse system, which allows class reset even after advancing to higher-tier classes. - Form your desired party composition, from solo play to full 8-unit battle parties. * Combat Utilizing Environment and Traps - Traps and terrain affect both you and your enemies. Set grass on fire, electrify enemies standing in water, and ignite poison clouds. - Push and throw mechanics allow dynamic interactions by moving objects or units. Knock enemies off cliffs, push them into blade traps, or roll boulders to deal damage. - Activate cannons and ballista traps to strike enemies from a distance. These traps can also trigger chain reactions for satisfying outcomes. * Challenging and Ever-Changing Dungeon Mode! - Dungeon Mode features exploration of dungeons composed of multiple rooms. - Both the dungeons and their battlefields are procedurally generated, offering varied and challenging experiences. - Diverse environments such as ruins, caves, catacombs, and forests appear, each with unique climates, monsters, and conditions. - Each dungeon includes NPCs that may be hostile or friendly, unique mercenaries, valuable items, and distinctive events such as sieges and defense battles. * Quest Mode Focused on Town Development and Character Growth - In Quest Mode, you build structures each turn to develop your town and hire multiple mercenaries to assign to quests of your choice. - Rewards vary depending on the type of quests completed each turn, and you can choose to increase difficulty, allowing for as much grinding as desired. - Large-scale battles are also available through town defense events against invading monsters that occur every set number of turns.
