Partia 2 vs Fire Emblem Shadows

Partia 2 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. Partia 2 : The Pretenders War is a sequel to Partia: The Broken Lineage. The game packs 22 stages that could present challenges to any SRPG fan. Partia 2 introduces many new features, including the choice of "Common turn" rule where all factions make moves alternatively (like Chess) instead of taking turns to move all his/her units. I believe this will bring a new nuance to gameplay if a player choose to do so. It can be toggled in intermission, and you can always play the game in the traditional FE way. (Common turn idea is from Berwick Saga) AI had improved a lot, and horse units now can move after attacking, if they have remaining move distances. Regrettably, the game could not deliver large animation battle. If you felt the game looked bad in Partia 1, then you'll find this game look much the same, except we have much bigger and nicer character portraits. It is because original Partia was never profitable, making Partia 2 production running on fume. (It sold around 6000 copies in two years) The stress of not getting paid almost broke our team of two, but somehow sheer will allowed this game to be out here for you. So whether this game series is success or not, I am immensely proud of the results. How many five year projects can a person do in a life time? ;-) Many times I was tempted to include some IAP stuff into the game and get cheap dollar or two, but I decided against it. More than anything, I rather have this game to be remembered as good, than have that IAP distaste. So you may refrain from purchasing this game if you didn't like Partia 1. But I promise you it will be a much better experience (and much more challenging) if you did enjoy the original Partia. Thank you all, and please let us know what you think!

■ A War Between Order and Instinct Discover the continent of Ardeal, a land of beasts. Here, disciples dedicated to the goddess of light defend order, while those sworn to the goddess of shadows prize instinct. Safety for those caught their struggle is fleeting, and open war is ever on the horizon. "What is your wish?" The goddess of shadows can grant any wish, but her price is servitude. To become her disciple is to become a monstrous beast, bound to obey her every command. ■ Light and Shadow Each character has two forms. Often, they appear as human. But when they submit to the shadow, the power of their bestial self comes forth. "Which will you choose, the light or the shadow?" ■ Deduction and Intrigue A traitorous shadow has infiltrated the ranks. Now, no one can be trusted and everyone is a suspect. Experience two sides to each story: see through the eyes of those serving the light, and venture with those sworn to the shadow. Only together can the full story be told. ■ Rich Support Conversations Unlock support conversations—personal moments between characters who appear in the story—providing a glimpse into their lives. ■ Intuitive Battle System During battle, characters move on their own. Simply drag and drop to target and use your many skills. Wield an arsenal of skills including attacks, recovery spells, buffs, debuffs, and movement abilities. Keep a sharp eye on the battle and cast wisely! ■ Observe and Discover Each battle has two phases: the Sun Room and the Moon Room. In the Sun Room, three players work together to drive back the monsters. But beware! One of you is secretly a traitor. Did an ally act strangely? Whose spells hindered more than helped? Watch closely to spot the traitor. ■ A Climactic Head-to-Head Battle In the Moon Room, the traitor takes on their beast form for a final head-to-head battle against their former allies. Identifying the traitor beforehand grants added strength. But the disciple of shadow is very powerful, and if they win, their victory will be final. Successful deduction or deception swings the tide of battle! ■ Test Your Mettle Take on a unique battle system!
