Vandal Hearts

This game is often seen as "not quite Final Fantasy Tactics/Tactics Ogre", which is an unfair comparison between two strikingly different games. It's true that Vandal-Hearts is, like TO and FFT, a tactical RPG, but that's where the similarities stop. I'm not claiming VH is, by any standard, better than the aforementioned titles - but it's different. Yes, that's the whole premise behind this game... it's different.

You will note, straightaway, how the game makes use of pseudo-3D, using no more than two sides per sprite (back and front), then mirroring them when the camera rotates. The sprites are grainy and pixellated; and what's more, the camera zooms in on them as they perform all their actions, allowing you to freely count all the pixels per sprite at you leisure. By the end of the game, you'll feel intimately knowledgeable about just how many pixels your characters are built up out of.
The backgrounds aren't very imaginative either, nor are the tilesets that...

THE GOOD:
The bloodshed after a dead friend or foe,fun,great story,and did I mention the blood?

THE BAD:
Limited classes,cannot return to areas and train,no skills for swordsman,axeman,bowmen ect.

SUMMARY:
Looking for a ,masterpiece of a tactical game that you will cherish for a lifetime?Then get Final Fantasy Tactics.This game is really good but by no means a masterpiece.First let me explain what a tactical game is.Its chess on steroids where you get one guy tell him to move onto his blue square and to hit this guy.Now with that out of the way Il elaborate on the game.The story is about a man named Ash,no this aint pokemon smarta$$.The story complex and you must be at least 13 to understand.In the game you get many classes....but only for 2 diffrent classes per person.Lets say your soldier gets to Level 10(Levels 10 and 20 are when you can change classes.)and you go to a dojo to change class.Well all he can do is...

THE GOOD:
The blood shed is spilt when you kill enemys or have one of yours killed, game play, story line, characters, graphics, the turn base style worked perfect for this game...

THE BAD:
limit amount of what you cxan be job classes wise...

SUMMARY:
This is a classic game that no one really realizes, people these dayz missing out on a great game...well the reason why I like this game is because the characters were cool, the turn base style fit the game perfect, the story line was really great, I like war games that are set in middle times..no guns or high tech weaponry, just plain old sword battleing...the best part of it was the bloodshed spilt after you eliminated your enemy, I loved that...game play on the game was awesome, I loved the magic system, and the spells, but the flaw, the limit amount of classes that someone could be...
