Now, the forces of darkness are awakening once again…

Choose the path of Darkness or Light through a truly epic story, spanning multiple generations

Build your ultimate army of warriors and master Extra Skills, Special Arts and Over Kills to defeat colossal enemies!

"

Summary:

I'll add on to this as I play more but for right now:

Pros:

  • Japanese Voice Overs! 
  • Interesting take on Tactics Battle Systems 
  • Great Music
Cons:
  • I really just want to play this on the Vita
  • Graphics is weak for a PC game (totally understandable on a mobile platform)
Verdict: 

Pick it up if you ever liked Tactical RPGs... For those that were digging the generation thing from Fire Emblem this is probably for you!
