Take the role of Varennes' ruler in a conflict spanning generations. The Seven Heroes, once celebrated as saviors, have returned as enemies, and your task is to defend and expand the Empire while confronting them.
Explore regions, take on quests, and decide which objectives to pursue and when. The order of your actions can change events and rewards, while the passage of generations may close some opportunities. You can also develop the empire through new facilities and equipment research.
Build a party from a wide range of classes, each with distinct weapons, abilities, and tactics. Turn-based battles use a timeline, enemy weaknesses, formations, and combination attacks; characters can discover new skills in combat. Successive emperors inherit accumulated skills and knowledge, letting the empire's capabilities grow over time.
In this selected sample, players often enjoy the tactical turn-based combat, especially planning around enemy weaknesses, formations, party builds, and skills discovered in battle. The freedom to tackle quests in different orders and carry abilities across generations also stands out, giving playthroughs different paths and a distinctive sense of imperial history. Some reviewers praise the remake's presentation and clearer systems, while others find the story and companions thin, the changing cast emotionally distancing, or the time-based quest outcomes hard to anticipate.
