It's 2025, instead of moaning about the lack of localization just use it as an excuse to learn English. The game is a masterpiece by the way, just finished it today but starting a new playthrough soon.
Thanks for the review. I'm curious about this game but it looks more like a puzzle game than a tactical one. Guess I'll get it on Steam first to check it out.
Final Fantasy Tactics, Tactics Ogre, Triangle Strategy, Fire Emblem Three Houses, Fire Emblem Engage, Unicorn Overlord. These are the best ones on Switch in my opinion.
My game of the year.
Enough with this War-of-the-Lions-cut-content crying, it was fan fiction that had nothing to do with the creators of the original game.
@LEGEND_MARIOID It's still a downgrade compared to a good PC. Of course it's subjective, but I prefer to play this kind of games on Steam. Open world photorealistic games always require compromises to run well on handheld devices.
How is not being greedy and choose a low price point a bad thing? It shows confidence in your game as well.
The other devs can always use the price as an excuse if their games don't sell. I guess it's easier than admitting your game wasn't good enough.
@Warioware I have seen another censored CG, so there might be others yet to be found. I prefer to go for the least censored version when I can, don't like the idea to have the devs' original vision altered. The game is M rated so it really makes no sense to censor it...
@Warioware Yes, many people told me the same, that the combat gets better later on. I'm tempted to give the game another shot, will probably wait for a sale on Steam as I heard the Switch version is censored, unlike the Steam one.
Biggest snubs from this list: Tactics Ogre Reborn, Fire Emblem Engage and Fell Seal. In my opinion they are much better than most of the listed titles.
@Pillowpants I'm buying their games that do things the right way, for instance The Lost Crown or the Jedi games. And I ignore their casinos disguised as videogames, like FIFA/EA FC. Microtransactions wouldn't exist if people where smart enough to avoid them.
Kingdom Battle was unique. Sparks of Hope was like Kingdom Battle, but worse and more expensive. That's what happens when you decide to do a sequel to milk the success of the first game rather than creating something new like you did with the first one...
No OLED no buy (sung to "No Woman No Cry" tune). It's hard to go back to LCD, both my Switch and my Vita are the OLED versions. If you think there is little difference between LCD and OLED, then it's time to change your glasses.

Re: Star Wars: Fate Of The Old Republic Announced, But Will It Skip Switch 2?
There will be a Switch 3 by the time this is out.
Re: Mini Review: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition (Switch 2) - Just Hugely Disappointing
@JohnnyMind You are saying the Switch 2 couldn't handle 60 FPS on a 2011 game? Hardware in such case is a poor excuse for bad optimization.
Re: Mini Review: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition (Switch 2) - Just Hugely Disappointing
To be honest it wasn't a good upgrade on Switch either, basic Skyrim without Anniversary Upgrade is way better.
Re: Review: Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition (Switch 2) - A Serviceable Port Of One Of Lara's Very Best
Great game, but one of those I'd rather play on Steam.

Re: Best Nintendo Switch Strategy Games
Final Fantasy Tactics, Tactics Ogre, Triangle Strategy, Fire Emblem Three Houses, Fire Emblem Engage, Unicorn Overlord.
These are the best ones on Switch in my opinion.
Re: Feature: Nintendo Life eShop Selects (September 2025)
Final Fantasy Tactics is my game of September.
Re: Review: Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - An Excellent Port Of A Timeless Classic
My game of the year.
Enough with this War-of-the-Lions-cut-content crying, it was fan fiction that had nothing to do with the creators of the original game.
Re: Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave Charges Onto Switch 2 In 2026
This might be the game that makes me upgrade to Switch 2...
Re: Mario Movie Domain Names Surface Online Ahead Of Mario's 40th Anniversary
I couldn't care less about Super Mario movies. Just give us Galaxy 2 on Switch.
Re: Feature: "The Bigger A Fan You Are...The More Averse You Are To Making Changes" - Final Fantasy Tactics Interview
My most anticipated release of all 2025, can't wait!

Re: Ubisoft Employee Explains Why Star Wars Outlaws Is A Game-Key Card
This is not the type of game I would play on a Switch anyway. Waiting for a deep sale on Steam.
Re: Round Up: Pour One Out For These 6 Brave Games Launching On 'Silksong Day'
I still might get Dark Deity 2, played it on Steam and it's very good.
Re: Reminder: Here's When Hollow Knight: Silksong Releases In Your Time Zone
Another game full of bugs.
Re: Strong Final Fantasy Tactics Sales May Lead To More Remasters And Sequels
I've done my part, already pre-ordered on both Switch and Steam. It's one of the best games ever made.
Re: Video: 13 Exciting New Games Coming To Switch 1 & 2 In September 2025
Final Fantasy Tactics is the game I'm getting, don't care about the other ones.
Re: Dead Cells Dev's 'The Rogue Prince Of Persia' Leaps Onto Switch 2 Later This Year
I played this one on Steam, it's great and I can't wait to get it on the Switch for the portability.
Re: Stylish Beat 'Em Up Roguelike 'Absolum' Magics Up Switch Release Date
So it's a froguelike.
Re: Feature: What We Expect From Nintendo For Super Mario Bros.' 40th Anniversary
I wouldn't mind Super Mario Galaxy 2...
Re: 112 Games You Should Pick Up In Nintendo's Summer Switch eShop Sale (Europe)
@AlanaHagues Trails from Zero is 30% off, not 80%.
Re: 112 Games You Should Pick Up In Nintendo's Summer Switch eShop Sale (Europe)
Fell Seal is also on sale, a nice indie TRPG.
Re: "One Of The Slowest Modern LCDs I've Ever Seen" - Digital Foundry's John Linneman On Switch 2's Display
I mean, it's only a LCD screen. Switch 2 OLED and we can talk.
Re: Final Fantasy Tactics Remaster Controversially Cuts War Of The Lions Content
This game was already a masterpiece before the War of the Lions remaster.
Re: Final Fantasy Tactics Is Getting An Enhanced Revival On Switch And Switch 2
A dream come true, going to double-dip on this one, Steam + Switch.
Re: Feature: Farewell, Nintendo Switch - It's Finally Time To Bid Our Old Friend 'Adieu'
No need to say goodbye, sticking with my OLED for some time. I'm not a FOMO victim in need to downgrade to LCD.
Re: Talking Point: Are You Ghosting Switch 1 To Save Yourself For Switch 2?
I'm ghosting Switch 2.
Re: Nintendo Updates Its User Agreement To Crack Down On Emulation
The rich gets richer.
Re: 'The Hundred Line' Dev Too Kyo Games Is Still "On The Brink Of Going Under"

Re: 'The Hundred Line' Dev Too Kyo Games Is Still "On The Brink Of Going Under"
I tried the demo on Steam but it's not a game for me. I found the characters and dialogue too cringe and the tactical battles are way too simplistic.

Re: A New Turn-Based Tactics Star Wars Game Has Been Announced
@Pillowpants I'm buying their games that do things the right way, for instance The Lost Crown or the Jedi games. And I ignore their casinos disguised as videogames, like FIFA/EA FC. Microtransactions wouldn't exist if people where smart enough to avoid them.
Re: A New Turn-Based Tactics Star Wars Game Has Been Announced
@Pillowpants Jedi Fallen Order and Jedi Survivor had none of that, so there's still hope even with EA.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Direct Predictions - What Do You Want To See?
A Fire Emblem would be nice.
Re: Nintendo Direct Confirmed For Tomorrow, 27th March 2025
It makes sense, they want to keep announcements separate for Switch 1 and 2. I wonder what they'll shadow-drop tomorrow...
Re: Feature: "If The Game Does Not Sell Well, We May Be Done" - It's Do Or Die For Too Kyo Games & 'The Hundred Line'
There's an extensive demo on Steam for people who are curious about the game and want to give it a shot for free.
Re: The Reason For Balatro Dev's Anonymity Is Pretty Straightforward, Actually
First name Local, last name Thunk. That would be funny.
Re: Review: Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition (Switch) - An Underrated Gem Transforms Into The Series' Best
Thanks for the review. Definitely getting this, was just worried about the technical performance.
Re: Poll: What Switch Game Could You Not Live Without?
It's hard to pick only one, voting for Triangle Strategy just because it deserves to get at least one vote.
Re: Mario + Rabbids Director Recalls "Harsh" Ubisoft Comment On 'Sparks Of Hope'
Kingdom Battle was unique. Sparks of Hope was like Kingdom Battle, but worse and more expensive. That's what happens when you decide to do a sequel to milk the success of the first game rather than creating something new like you did with the first one...
Re: Poll: Will You Trade In Your Switch When Switch 2 Arrives?
Would I trade my OLED for a LCD?
No dice.
Re: Talking Point: Why An LCD Screen Isn't The End Of The World For Switch 2
No OLED no buy (sung to "No Woman No Cry" tune).
It's hard to go back to LCD, both my Switch and my Vita are the OLED versions.
If you think there is little difference between LCD and OLED, then it's time to change your glasses.
Re: 98 Games You Should Pick Up In Nintendo's 'Play On' eShop Sale (Europe)
Few Disgaea titles on sale as well, and Child of Light.
Re: Nintendo Shuts Down Live-Action Zelda Fan Film, 'Lost In Hyrule'
They are using an IP they don't own without permission. I don't understand how they think it's fair to do so. Same applies to people defending them.
Re: EA: Switch 2 Could Help Games Like FC And Madden "Find Real Energy"
More microtransactions is what they meant.
Re: Poll: With No Switch 2 News Until April, Is A February Nintendo Direct On The Cards?
Fingers crossed for that Fire Emblem remaster...
Re: 'Switch 2' And Software Listings Spotted On French Retailer's Internal Database
Final Fantasy Tactics remaster...
