Symphony of War: The Nephilim Saga

The sound design is supported by an old fashioned art design that gets the job done. Sometimes it looks like a very attractive GBA game and sometimes the portraits are distractingly higher res than the character models. Classic game weirdness! And that’s the thing- Symphony of War doesn’t get perfect marks across the board. But it adds up to more than a sum of its parts. Once you start noticing how elegantly all of Symphony of War’s systems interact, you’ll never be able to go back.

I was pleasantly surprised with the time I spent playing this SRPG. In many ways, it draws from classic heavyweights of the genre, but it also has more than enough substance to stand on its own. There’s certainly a lot to uncover and do throughout a playthrough, and it also has moderate replay value given the ways player choice alters certain narrative events. Symphony of War: The Nephilim Saga is an adventure fans of tactical RPGs might want to keep an eye on.

I fell in love with this highly addictive gem after just a couple of turns. If you don’t mind that it was created with RPG Maker and looks like a decades-old relic, if you’re able to turn a blind eye to poor enemy AI and you’re willing to give the story time to really get going, you’ll probably lose track of time. Just like I did when I spent 16 hours with Symphony of War just on the first day with it.

Perfection is not stationed in Tahnra yet, but despite this, Symphony of War is still a strong and compelling turn-based strategy thanks to the amazing mix of simplicity and depth of its mechanics.

Novel tactical mechanics make this indie a contender for the best strategy RPG this year.

Symphony of War: The Nephilim Saga is a fabulously fun tactical RPG. The squad-based gameplay and management mechanics co-exist incredibly well, and there is a surprising amount of complexity in each of the systems. While the expanded lore has had a lot of thought put into it, the games narrative does feel rather rushed and uninteresting. If you’re a fan of management RPGs, and are looking for something that will scratch the Ogre Battle itch, then this is a game worth checking out.

Appreciating Symphony of War takes some adjustment to its production values, but our 50 hours with the game were largely a joy. It’s built for those who delight in fiddling with systems and tweaking squad builds, and its combination of ideas offers a distinct tactical experience.

Absurdo, fácilmente el mejor RPG táctico estilo Fire Emblem creado. Me niego a hacer spoilers o explicar nada, si te gusta el estilo de la saga mencionada es compra obligada (y cuanto más a ciegas vayas mejor)

Solid game overall. As other's have noted the core gameplay is very similar to other traditional tactical RPGs and is executed well. I'd recommend playing it on highest difficulty as you out scaled your enemies very early on. Story could be improved as it felt very high-schooley and generic. Not sure what was the point of the "bonded" conversation element. Overall, I think the core elements are great here, More variety in classes, some "merging" between them or significant interaction would improve it a lot more.

I enjoyed the game. Its an enjoyable substitute for Fire Emblem that mixes in some surprisingly deep squad customization and progression elements. If you are a fan of tactical RPGs, then there is a lot to love with this game. It goes a couple layers deeper with the strategy and tactical customization, as now you not only build your overall team, but also the units within each squad. This is very cool, especially early on as it really encourages experimenting with different setups. The level up system, class system, and overall progression is pretty rewarding as well and it allows more freedom than other similar games. While the game brings a lot of positive to the table, it also has a few flaws. It is very polished in terms of the music, the sprite graphics, the backgrounds etc. The story was fine, but I wouldn't say it was very good. Its actually pretty generic, and the characters are extremely cliche, that I found myself just wanting to skip forward to get to playing the game. Generally I find that tactical RPG games have very weak generic war storylines, but as with all games in the genre, I get so bored with the characters and story that I just want to get back to the gameplay. This one feels like the characters and story are much weaker than the already low baseline. The game is pretty long so you'll get your money's worth, but unfortunately it wasn't able to hold my attention to the very end. I made it about halfway through before taking a break without any planned intention to come back to it. Fans of the genre will enjoy it.

整體來說還不錯，不會很爛，但我也沒有很喜歡，遊戲劇情一般，兵種職業轉職很豐富，還有科技樹，戰鬥也可以調整難度，但故事劇情沒有很吸引我繼續玩下去，價格也不貴

Symphony of War no es un juego terrible pero tampoco es un juego bueno, cae un poco por debajo de decente. La historia es floja, aunque tiene algunos giros interesantes, en realidad por cómo se narra consigue conectar muy poco y transmitir aún menos, lo cual hace que al final lo que ocurre en pantalla diese más o menos igual. La jugabilidad está bien pero si haces un poco todo y leveleas las unidades bien, el juego no plantea un reto real en casi ningún momento. Además, hay problemas de equilibrio, con mecánicas que **** mucho en llegar y no llegan a ser exploradas bien (como las misiones secundarias) y otras que llegan demasiado pronto (como las unidades de último nivel ya doradas). Además, el hud es un coñazo y hace que las tareas de actualizar y ajustar al ejército entre misiones lleven mucho más tiempo del que deberían. Gráficamente el juego es pobre. Para el coste que tiene, aunque entiendo que es un equipo pequeño, esperaría más, especialmente porque tiene graves problemas de motor que hacen que cosas como la fuente de las letras no se vean adecuadamente bien en altas resoluciones de pantalla, lo cual no tiene sentido. El sonido era flojo, de modo que jugué la mayoría de la campaña sin él. Al menos no encontré ningún bug a parte del mal diseño de menús y la terrible optimización y ajustes gráficos. Así que, en resumen, no es el peor juego que puedes jugar, pero sin duda hay opciones mejores. Un 4.
