Vanaris Tactics

Honestly im not a fan of pixel art but somehow i sat through this game, i realised one thing tho, these games are the core of the AAA or AA games. Vanaris tactics has a good story, the usual gameplay turn based rpg elements, but in the end i found this game interesting just because of the pixel art and the story. Now im open to try more pixel art games.

Vanaris is a streamlined Final Fantasy Tactics homage which captures the spirit of its combat well, if not the story or advancement systems. What's here is fun, particularly if you don't just rush right through and instead stop to clear out each combat area enough to reach the extra boss fights. Skill loadouts are really interesting and battles only take five, maybe ten minutes at absolute most when set to double speed. The story isn't great, but I like that it focuses almost entirely around a family unit. Worth a pickup on sale for sure.

Vanaris Tactics was pretty solid as a first dip into the world of Turn-Based Tactics for me. Some things are to be noted: [list] [*]Really love the art style! [*]5.8 hours for 100% completion (i.e. all achievements) [*]No Trading Cards [*]Bulleted list [*]Minor gameplay flaws (enemies still attack invisible characters with AoE spells) [*]UI is non-transparent in some cases where it would've been nice [*]Fast-Forward and Map-Scrolling would have also been nice [/list] Other than that: Grab it on a discount (so did I) and do absolutely not forget to put BEST BOY ARUS in your setup!

Kind of like final fantasy tactics, just as slow paced, the story is both slow and not super apparent whats happening. Its like FF T but everyone stays a squire class and the dialog is flat. looks good though and is almost there.

As an srpg vetern whose first game in the genre was the original FFT, and whose list includes things like FFTA1, a couple SRW games, FM3&4, the original TO (ps1 port), Kamidori, FE8, Disgaea 1&2 plus various other NIS titles, Voidspire and Alvora Tactics, and various other games that are srpg adjacent like Blades of Exile and the 3 Shadowrun crpgs by HBS, and also probably at least a few games that I'm forgetting, I have certain standards when it comes to these things. This game just doesn't really meet those expectations. Frankly, it needs a ton more polish and development. The writing is also not especially great either. tl;dr: it's not great, this is the kinda game I would only recommend to young children. Forgot to include Underwater Ray Romano. I knew I was forgetting a game or two. Add Bahamut Lagoon to that list.

Jogo curto mas bem divertido.

Recomendo, divertido!

Um jogo tactics/RPG simples e direto. História e gameplay básicos, os personagens tem algum desenvolvimento mesmo com um jogo curto. A pixel arte é funcional e a música é boa. Faltou algum refinamento nos aspectos gerais, mas é um bom trabalho para alguém que fez praticamente sozinho. Jogo mediano 5/10.

Simple, but great!

It's short, but a solid game. The field control is a little bit cumbersome.
