    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.

    Terrible game by a very unprofessional dev. Avoid at all costs. Do not buy.

It wasAt one point I decided to backlog this game and didn't intend to play it. I'm glad I changed my mind, it won me over in the first hour. It was mostly the gameplay that did it for me. I really liked the combination of squad planning and automated battles. Even if I had to yell at the AI a few times for attacking instead of healing.

    I played a fire emblem style game for the first time. The beginning of the game is very enjoyable. Meeting new characters. Developing SquadI played a fire emblem style game for the first time. The beginning of the game is very enjoyable. Meeting new characters. Developing Squad etc. First of all, I played the game on normal difficulty. And it's very easy. You don't lose if you take care of the squad. It gets easier towards the end of the game. And the game is a little long. It could have been shorter. Still, I enjoyed playing it. It was a nice experience. Full Review »
