At first glance, Symphony of War doesn’t exactly sound like First Five material — 40 hour runtime, massive, sprawling battles that require the better part of an hour to complete, and hundreds of units to all individually tweak until you’ve crafted the perfect army. But next to the competition? Symphony of War delivers the same mechanical heights of the long and storied Fire Emblem franchise in a fraction of the time!

Neat. Reminds me of Langrisser / Warsong. With a name like that, no doubt they pulled some inspiration.
I've put a few hours into the game and I think you've nailed the reasons I love it.
(I really should continue playing but man, there are so many things to do.)
Seems cool and might get me to actually play a tactics game after Rondo of Swords basically ruined all other games in the genre when I realized that it was the only game I'd played where if I just gave semi reasonable commands asap. a battle would end one way or another within 5 minutes instead of taking half an hour.
Yay for great games that are enjoyable in a few hours 😀
Ooooh man, I was really big into Old fire emblem growing up and this sounds like a nice evolution of the formula. I especially love the natural balance of character classes rather than the frustrating rock paper scissors of weapon types. To steal your line 'this is my jaaaaaam!'
0:16 "I've been playing a Fire-Emblem-like that can't stop putting down"… That doesn't sound too good!
Those large maps reminds me of the maps from Fire Emblem Genealogy of holy war
hey, i beat you to a game for once. i'm always on the lookout for scratching my ogre battle 64 itch. this didn't quite hit that, but was close enough to be satisfying. plus as a tall buff woman myself it's satisfying to see representation in a game
Love your videos. One day I will find the time to try one of the games and see how much time it takes me to get through the,
Thanks for the reveiw!
Still waiting for the game’s Switch release, if they even have plans for that
Oohh, this does look cool! Will deffo consider for if I want to play this genre!
Thanks for the vid
This game is great
