New: 1258 - Onimusha Tactics (U)

[phuzzz]

I've heard a lot of talk about this game before. I would asume that there is a signfigant storyline, correct? If there is, I might check it out.

I'll wait for a intro remove patch, thanks.

 

[mynimal]

Meh, FFTA clone, no thanks.

Argh, people who say stuff like this really ticks me off. Just because it's that same type of battle system, the characters, storyline, makers, almost nothing is the same. This game is NOTHING like FFTA, it's just the tactics thing. This is like saying Advance Wars, FFTA, Onimusha, Advance Wars 2, and many more, are all not worth buying, because you already have a game like it.

Hardly.

I'm confident a few of you are tinkering with this release now --

Any comments on how this rates in storyline & gameplay compared with other GBA strategy releases (i.e. Fire Emblem, FFTA, Tactics Ogre, Advance Wars). Share some pros & cons.

Thanks for your opinions!

Its cool and all, but Fire Emblem is better because it doesn't have a intro attached to it. Also, why does the pointer go right when i press up?

 

[Squiffy]

It goes that way because of the isometric view. You'll get used to it quickly.

I guess I'll peruse this a bit. It's good that it's 64mb too. Hopefully Harvest Moon will be as well and I can put them both on.

I've just realised that the fact that it has an intro is a good thing. It means that there was enough empty space at the end to stick it in there, meaning you can truncate it well. That doesn't mean I'll be keeping it there.

Intros sux, but an save state at the main menu solve this

 

[OldKupo]

I use a flash card. I can't do that.

 

[werwe]

this game reeks

 

[Brekelefuw]

im having huge troubles flashing this game.
when i do it either freezes the cart when i flash as multiple rom, or when i flash as single rom it freezes when i move to the first genma in the game.

Remember, it's EEPROM, so SRAM patch it first.
I had a bash at it, and I can say that it's pretty good.
It doesn't have the sheen or graphics of FFTA and the animations are a little boring. However, I really like the prospect of being a samurai in the game. I think it could make for very interesting gameplay.

As soon as I go further into the game, I will post my impressions of the storyline.

 

[Regal_Warrior]

I gotta check this out! I liked FFTA and overall I like tactics games, but it tends that some of them don't usually come with a good story line, I hope this one does.

 

[Ramus]

Bleh, this is a letdown.
FFTA is SO much better then this.
You just go through the missions, and its SO easy.
You can target spells on your own characters and they do not get hurt.
They butchered FFTA and made a sub-par game.
I do not recommend this over FE or FFTA...

Wow, we suddenly have 104 guests.

Maybe they're all waiting for the Harvest Moon game.

 

[T-hug]

Anyone who has not tried the PS2 Onimusha 1 & 2 really should do, to see where this has come from.
They are survival horror games set in Feudal Japan.
The story is great, the gameplay is awesome and the graphics are sweet! I prefer it to Resident Evil anyday.

Also soon to come is the third installment which features Jean Reno as a playable character. I can't wait.

 

[khayos]

For what it's worth, I'll second Thug's sentiments about the PS2 versions. Definitely worth checking out!

Thanks again for those who are offering opinions on this release. They are so varied I guess I'll have to look into it myself and form my own opinion.

I've played, and beaten, the first Onimusha in one sitting at my friend's house on the first shot. Of course he guided me, but it was still pretty simple.

I really like the Onimusha games, I wanna try the 2nd one, and I can't wait for the third.

 

[Ace Gunman]

huh.....another Strategy RPG.......could be good......i'll try it out.....

 

[Mergryphon]

Remember, it's EEPROM, so SRAM patch it first.

Maybe I'm just a little new to this... but what do I need to do to SRAM patch it.

It doesn't appear to be an option in any of the utilities I have.
