Yggdra Union is by no means the definitive tactical RPG experience, nor is it a perfect game. However, for all of my qualms, I found myself continually going back for more—and not just because I had to in order to review the game, but because I felt myself drawn to the strategy and enjoyed the satisfaction of victory.

Though it is best suited for the hardcore strategy/RPG crowd, it's hard not to recommend Yggdra Union to everyone, as it is one of the most engrossing, challenging and unforgettable RPGs released in a long time.

With simple, yet strategic gameplay, excellent voice acting, cute graphics, and decent dialogue, all improved from its GBA counterpart, it's definitely worth the pickup.

Yggdra Union is a fun strategy game with interesting cast of characters. Starting from Milanor, the bandit leader with ox strength. Yggdra, a cute loli princess with huge sword and questionable heart. Durant, the most loyal and honorable knight in Westeros(except it's call Fantasica). Nietzsche, the loli mermaid. Roswell and the witch and many more. The most interesting cast is Gulcasa of course. In fact the game is centered around him. The card system is okay, there are a lot of secrets which I missed out which I think many players would've too if they never followed any guides. Playing this game is about coming out with the best strategy and then going back a few stages to see what you missed. Pretty fun JRPG. Highly recommended but very hard in end-game.

I really like the core mechanic of this game. It's almost a puzzle game, where you need to determine the best formation that'll result in your characters attacking enemies that are weak against them. The issue is that the game becomes unfair and tedious. It will surprise you with new enemies for which you're unprepared, it'll give you new objectives that are impossible to complete without having positioned your characters correctly beforehand, it'll introduce new enemy abilities that you simply can't compensate for on the fly. When you lose, you'll restart at the beginning of the map, and need to go through all the battles and events again. I also suspect that you can find yourself in a position where the game is impossible to beat because you weren't careful about which characters were getting the MVP bonuses, or you weren't diligent about searching the map for hidden items. If you don't mind replaying sections over and over again while trying different strategies, or looking for items, then you might very well love this game for its interesting and complex battle system. For myself, the game stopped being fun and became a chore.

Although its overzealous combat system takes some getting used to, Yggdra Union is a rare gem that manages to stay interesting after hours and hours of playtime. In my opinion, it's a must-have for PSP owners and it is, without a doubt, one of the best titles I've played this year.

But the battles are the heart of this game, and despite a steep learning curve, they’re strategy-filled, immensely deep and visually stunning. If you missed it the first time around, there’s no reason to ignore Yggdra Union again.

All together though, this is a fantastic port, but it doesn't change or enhance the original in any meaningful way.

The steep learning curve may put off newcomers, but for those willing to commit to its complexities, Yggdra Union offers a truly refreshing strategy experience. [Dec 2008, p.92]

I thoroughly enjoyed the opening moments of each map, looking over the terrain for bonuses and counting moves to make sure that I engaged the enemy with the perfect formation. After that, it was back to 20 minutes of occasionally pressing one button to keep my little soldiers swinging in the most non-violent war this side of a NERF fight.

SummaryYggdra Union is a card-based strategy RPG for the PSP. For years, strategy RPG fans have accepted repetitive, non-interactive battle sequences as the genre standard; few games have dared to break the mold. Yggdra Union blows through, shattering the mold into tiny, unrecognizable bits. Experience a fresh mix of turn-based strategy and rea... Read More
