For the people who have played Nippon Ichi games before and know what to expect, difficulty wise, should be ok. The missions in this game are far from easy and have a very steep learning curve. Once you get past the tutorial mission, you then unlock proper missions to progress the story and find out the mystery of the Academy and the tower. Each monster in each magic group has weaknesses and strengths, so there is a lot to remember. Substance are strong against magic attacks, but weak against weapon attacks.
Astral can’t get hit by physical attacks, but are very weak against magic attacks. The mechanics of this game can get extremely deep because apart from there being four magic types, there are also two body types for your minions: Astral and Substance. You can tell your units to defend, attack or gather. For someone who has never ever played an RTS, they may find it a bit hard to get used to, but once you have that basic tactic down, the rest comes naturally. For people who have played RTS games before, it will be alright for them because they know the basic tactics of gathering equals more manpower. The controls are easy to learn as it has a simple interface that anyone can get to grips with. There are three Grimoires for each of the four types of magic: Glamour, Necromancy, Alchemy and Sorcery. As an addition, you get Grimoires which are books that let you summon more familiars and also armour and weapons for them to assist you.
You then select your Elf and tell him to gather Mana which is used to summon more creatures to help you succeed.Īs with all RPGs, you level up and get better stats and so on. After selecting the Elf, you have to choose a rune to draw from your resources. You have to choose your familiar to start with and the first one you get is an Elf. When you start, it looks like a platformer, far from it. You then can choose a story mission or further down the bookcase, a side mission. After the screen fades off, you are welcomed with a bookcase with again amazing detail! I cannot stress how good the graphics are in this game. This is unusual because most companies won’t be bothered with something of that minute detail, it is very cool to see that they care that much and it brings the characters to life that much more.Īs with any RPG, after the introduction dialogue, you get told to do your studies, in other words a tutorial. The detail of the characters is simply immense because you can see them breathing. It is presented with the wizard Gammel Dore welcoming Lillet Blan to the Academy. This feels different because you are in pure amazement at the artwork of the characters. When you get into your first bit of dialogue in the game, as with any RPG, it is long since it explains a lot of where, why and when. Now it is used for studying, to find out the reason why Lillet keeps having Déjà vu. Lillet has been invited to the Magic Academy which is lead by the famous wizard, Gammel Dore, who defeated the Archmage and now the Academy resides within the Silver Start Tower wherein the Archmage lived. The story of the game revolves around Lillet Blan, the heroine of the story. If you hate one, you will hate the rest but still look at them and think, that is awesome artwork. They are a style of games where, if you like one, you will love them all. For some people, these titles bring joy or hatred. Some of the best 2D works in video game history. Grimgrimoire when you first load it up, you just look at the intro because the 2D art-style for this game, as with all Nippon Ichi games, is simply amazing. GrimGrimoire is a 2D, side-on RTS RPG, try saying that when your drunk! Now, onto the game! As you may or may not know, this company is responsible for Disgaea, Atelia Iris, La Pucelle Tactics, Phantom Brave, Makai Kingdom, Ar Tonelico and the list goes on, if you visit their website you can see the list of games. Nippon Ichi has done it again with another breathtaking game in their world of RPGs.
