    With its brilliant gameplay style and wealth of customisation options, not to mention the fun and strategically minded combat, Grand Kingdom is a fantastic tactical RPG that truly showcases why the genre is perfect on PS Vita.

    An strategic title of excellence, Grand Kingdom delivers a deep, complex and challenging experience with tons of content and an active combat system that will keep you busy for months. Very recommended.

    Grand Kingdom has a lot of really great ideas: its map setup, its use of obstacles to force you to think tactically, and its online integration are all great. But once you get past the game's second layer, it starts to plateau, which is disappointing. Whether it's more unique enemies, multi-layed class synergy, or more consequential online wars, Grand Kingdom feels like it's missing that little something extra. With that, I really hope there's a sequel. I'd hate to see all these great ideas go to waste.

    Grand Kingdom is one of the most interesting things I’ve ever had on my Vita, combining so many ideas together and somehow making them all work. Like a weird looking dish at a foreign restaurant your cousin recommended, you might doubt it can be anything other than a huge mess, but once you get a taste of it, you’ll realize just how wrong you were.

    "Grand Kingdom is a game that will fly under the radar for many, but it really shouldn’t be missed if you are a strategy game fan. I’ve been playing the PlayStation Vita version (on a PSTV) of the game for a few weeks now, and I absolutely love it. But I am a huge SRPG fan, with Final Fantasy Tactics being my favorite game of all time. If you aren’t a fan of FFT, Disgaea, Tactics Ogre, and the like then this game may not be for you. Grand Kingdom is all about strategy. The battle system is the most unique I’ve seen in years, maybe ever. And before battle you move around the “field” (kind of like a world map) using a chess piece, plotting your route and using items — you aren’t simply moving from spot A to B. Both moving around the field and battling require a lot of thought, as well as party formation and item management. If you are into deep strategy JRPG’s then you should check this game out ASAP..."

Then I discovered that it was based a lot on online and that threw me a lot back. But removing that little handicap, I liked the rest a lot, above all, being able to create and customize so many characters. That if it is a rare game, very rare.… Full Review »
